Establishing that state entity records are not subject to discovery in certain attorney general civil enforcement actions; Official Records Act clarification
This bill clarifies that when Minnesota's Attorney General brings civil enforcement actions on behalf of the state, records from other state agencies (like departments or commissions) cannot be requested through discovery by opposing parties. It specifies these records are not considered to be in the Attorney General's possession or control for such cases. The bill also explicitly states that each state agency is the sole custodian of its own records, documents, and information. These changes aim to prevent disputes over access to agency records during Attorney General enforcement actions.
