This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to enhance access for elected officials to multiple unit dwellings under specific conditions. It prohibits the denial of access to various residential facilities for elected officials and their staff, provided they are currently serving in office and are conducting official work related to their position. The bill specifies that access is only required within the district represented by the elected official and allows them to knock on doors and leave materials related to their official duties. Additionally, it establishes that if a facility has multiple buildings, access is limited to one building at a time.

The bill also outlines exceptions to this access requirement, such as the right to deny entry to specific units for valid reasons, the necessity of proper identification, and the ability to limit visits during certain hours. It encourages facility owners to notify residents when an elected official intends to visit. Furthermore, a new definition of "elected official" is provided, clarifying the scope of individuals covered under this legislation. Overall, the bill aims to facilitate communication between elected officials and constituents while maintaining certain protections for residents.
