The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 201.091, to modify the information requirements for public information lists related to registered voters. It removes the requirement to include the "year" of voting history and replaces it with the term "date." Additionally, it specifies that a public information list must not include a voter's date of birth, Social Security number, driver's license number, identification card number, military identification card number, or passport number. The bill also emphasizes the importance of protecting voter information by prohibiting the publication of the public information list on the Internet and restricting the use of the information to election-related activities, political activities, or law enforcement inquiries.
Furthermore, the bill establishes that individuals inspecting the public information list must provide identification and a written statement affirming that the information will not be used for unrelated purposes. It allows for the withholding of a voter's name from the public information list if a signed statement is provided for safety reasons. The effective date for these changes is set for the day following final enactment.
