The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 13.43, subdivision 2, to modify the classification of government data related to investigative information concerning certain personnel of the Metropolitan Council. Specifically, it adds members of the Metropolitan Council, appointed by the governor, to the definition of "public officials" whose complaint or charge data becomes public upon the completion of an investigation or if they resign or are terminated while a complaint is pending. This inclusion aims to enhance transparency regarding the conduct of these officials.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the data related to complaints or charges against these public officials will be accessible unless it jeopardizes an active investigation or reveals confidential sources. The amendment also clarifies the roles within the Metropolitan Council that fall under this classification, including the chair, regional administrator, and other executive positions. This change is intended to ensure accountability and public access to information regarding the actions of key personnel within the Metropolitan Council.
