This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to modify the standards for access to multiple unit dwellings by candidates and census workers. It introduces new provisions that require access to be permitted during specific hours, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and 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 existing exceptions to access limitations, ensuring that denial of admittance can still occur for valid reasons, such as health concerns in nursing homes or assisted living facilities. The amendments aim to balance the need for candidates and census workers to engage with residents while respecting the privacy and safety of individuals living in multiple unit dwellings.
