The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 504B.206, subdivision 2, to clarify the prohibition on landlords disclosing certain information related to tenants who are victims of violence. Specifically, it prohibits landlords from disclosing any information provided by tenants in written notices, details contained in qualifying documents, the tenant's new address after relocation, and the tenant's status as a victim of violence. This information cannot be entered into any shared database or disclosed to any person or entity, except when required as evidence in specific legal proceedings, with the tenant's consent, or as mandated by law.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision stating that the requirements to protect the information listed are paramount and will supersede any other documents or forms signed by the tenant, including release of information forms. The bill also establishes an effective date for these changes, which will take effect the day following final enactment.
