Government Data Practices Act modification; Official Records Act modification
This bill amends Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act and Official Records Act to strengthen privacy protections for personal data held by government entities. It requires government agencies to implement stricter procedures for maintaining data accuracy, securing private information (like email addresses and library borrowing records), and limiting access to confidential data only to authorized personnel. The changes specifically clarify that contact information provided to government entities for notifications or subscriptions is private data and may only be used for its intended purpose. These provisions directly affect all state and local government agencies that collect or maintain personal information, ensuring consistent handling of sensitive data across departments.
