This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 201.091, subdivision 5, to improve access to voter reports by changing the timeframe in which registered voters can request copies of public information lists. Specifically, the bill reduces the request period from ten days to two business days, allowing voters to obtain these lists more quickly. Additionally, it maintains the requirement that the county auditors and the secretary of state provide these lists in electronic or other media upon request, with the stipulation that the requester must pay for the cost of reproduction.

Furthermore, the bill emphasizes that while individuals may inspect or acquire copies of the public information lists, they are prohibited from using the information for purposes unrelated to elections, political activities, or law enforcement. The bill also includes a provision stating that it will take effect the day following its final enactment.
