This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, specifically article I, section 10, to enhance the protection of citizens' rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. The amendment aims to explicitly include electronic communications and data within the scope of protections already afforded to individuals regarding their persons, houses, papers, and effects. The proposed language will ensure that any search or seizure of electronic communications or data requires a warrant based on probable cause, with specific details about what is to be searched or seized.

Additionally, the bill outlines that this proposed amendment will be submitted to voters during the 2026 general election. The ballot question will ask whether citizens support the amendment to secure their electronic communications and data from unreasonable searches and seizures, thereby aligning these protections with those already in place for physical property.
