SF 3627 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Elected officials to be given access to multiple unit dwellings under certain circumstances requirement

This bill requires property managers of apartment buildings, dorms, nursing homes, and other multi-unit housing to allow elected officials and campaign candidates access for official campaign activities. It mandates that officials/candidates may knock on doors and leave materials at units (except nursing homes, where materials go to a central location), with exceptions for requiring ID, health reasons in nursing homes, and reasonable time limits (9 a.m.-9 p.m.). The law applies to all elected officials (including local, state, and school district roles) during campaign efforts for offices they represent or seek to represent. Property managers may deny access for "good cause" or if residents request it, but must permit access during specified hours. The bill does not require prior appointments or override health-related restrictions in healthcare facilities.
