The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 299A.85, subdivision 8, to enhance the data access capabilities of the Office of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives. Specifically, it allows the office to access additional data that may be classified as private or confidential, which is essential for the office to effectively carry out its responsibilities.

The amendment removes the previous restrictions outlined in sections 13.384 and 13.85, thereby broadening the scope of data that the office can utilize. This change aims to improve the office's ability to address issues related to missing and murdered Indigenous individuals by ensuring they have the necessary information to perform their duties.
