SF 3590 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Circumstances when a person may conceal their identity in public modification and specific exceptions creation for law enforcement officers

This bill modifies Minnesota's law against concealing one's identity in public places. It allows wearing masks or disguises for reasons like weather protection, smoke or harmful fumes, medical treatment, or entertainment - expanding previous exceptions. It specifically exempts law enforcement officers from this rule when: (1) working undercover and anonymity is needed for safety or investigation integrity, or (2) using face masks as part of a tactical team to prevent facial injury. The law directly affects the general public and law enforcement officers during specific official duties.
