The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 13.643, subdivision 6, to classify farmed Cervidae premises location data as private. It removes the previous provision that allowed for the public access to this data collected and maintained by the Board of Animal Health, specifically regarding the registration and identification of premises and animals. The amendment clarifies that the data, which includes names, addresses, premises locations, and identification numbers, is now considered private rather than public.

Additionally, the bill specifies that data collected by the Board of Animal Health under certain sections is classified as private or nonpublic, with the exception of specific provisions outlined in section 347.58, subdivision 5. The Board retains the authority to disclose this data if it determines that such access would assist in law enforcement or protect public or animal health and safety. The effective date of this amendment is set for the day following its final enactment.
