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, while also allowing for reasonable limitations on visits, such as requiring 24 hours prior notice instead of a prior appointment. 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 requirements, including the denial of admittance to specific residential units for valid reasons, and the ability to limit visits to a reasonable number of individuals. These changes aim to balance the need for candidates and census workers to engage with residents while respecting the privacy and health concerns of individuals living in multiple unit dwellings.
