Technology (Privacy)

This bill amends Minnesota law to allow the Office of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives to access specific types of data previously protected as private or confidential. It authorizes the office to obtain corrections/detention records, medical data, and criminal investigative data from state agencies when necessary for its work. The change overrides existing privacy restrictions (like sections 13.384 and 13.85) to directly support the office's mission. The bill affects the office and the agencies maintaining the data, enabling better coordination in cases involving missing or murdered Indigenous relatives.
