The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 13.43, subdivision 2, to classify employee identification numbers as not public data. This change involves the deletion of the provision that previously required employee identification numbers to be public, while maintaining other personnel data as public, such as names, job titles, and disciplinary actions. The amendment aims to enhance the privacy of employees by ensuring that their identification numbers are not disclosed as part of public data.

In addition to the classification of employee identification numbers, the bill outlines the conditions under which data related to complaints or charges against public officials become public. It specifies that such data will be accessible if the complaint results in disciplinary action or if the employee resigns or is terminated while the complaint is pending. The bill also clarifies that the release of data must comply with existing laws that protect certain information from being made public. Overall, the bill seeks to balance transparency in government operations with the need for employee privacy.
