This 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. The bill specifies that landlords must not disclose information provided by tenants in written notices, details contained in qualifying documents, the tenant's new address after relocation, or the tenant's status as a victim of violence. Additionally, it states that 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.

A significant insertion in the bill emphasizes 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 includes a provision for an effective date, stating that the changes will take effect the day following final enactment.
