This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, specifically article I, section 10, to enhance the protection of citizens' rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. The amendment aims to explicitly include electronic communications and data within the scope of protections already afforded to individuals regarding their persons, houses, papers, and effects. The proposed language will state that the right to be secure includes protection against unreasonable searches and seizures of electronic communications and data, ensuring that warrants are issued only upon probable cause and with specific descriptions of what is to be searched or accessed.

Additionally, the bill outlines that this proposed amendment will be submitted to voters during the 2026 general election. The ballot question will ask whether citizens support the amendment to ensure that their electronic communications and data are protected from unreasonable searches and seizures, similar to the existing protections for their physical belongings and personal spaces.
