The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 13.03, by adding a new subdivision that introduces specific restrictions on public data requests directed at school districts. It defines "school district" and clarifies that the new provisions apply to requests for inspecting or receiving copies of public government data. Notably, this new subdivision takes precedence over existing provisions in subdivision 3 when there is a conflict, and it explicitly states that it does not apply to requests made by data subjects under section 13.04.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a person requesting data fails to appear within 30 calendar days to inspect the requested data, the school district's responsible authority may charge the requester for the costs associated with separating public from non-public data, along with any other fees allowed under the chapter. The effective date of this new section is set for the day following final enactment, applying to data requests made on or after that date.
