The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 13.643, subdivision 6, to classify farmed Cervidae premises location data as private. Specifically, it removes the previous provision that allowed for the public access of this data collected and maintained by the Board of Animal Health under section 35.155. The amendment clarifies that the data related to animal premises, including names, addresses, locations, and identification numbers, is now considered private rather than public.

Additionally, the bill modifies the classification of data collected by the Board of Animal Health under sections 347.57 to 347.64, changing the terminology from "are" to "is," which indicates a shift in how this data is categorized. The Board retains the authority to disclose this data if it is deemed necessary for law enforcement or public health purposes. The changes will take effect the day following the final enactment of the bill.
