This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to modify the standards for access to multiple unit dwellings by candidates and census workers. It establishes that access must be permitted during the hours of 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on any day, and it replaces the requirement for a prior appointment with a requirement for 24 hours' prior notice. Additionally, it encourages the owners, managers, or operators of multiple unit dwellings to notify residents about the days when census workers or candidates intend to be present.
The bill also clarifies exceptions to the access rules, allowing for the denial of admittance to specific units for valid reasons, requiring proper identification for entry, and limiting visits to a reasonable number of individuals or hours. These changes aim to balance the need for access by candidates and census workers with the rights of residents in multiple unit dwellings.
