The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 13.601, by adding a new subdivision that addresses the accessibility of residential addresses for elected officials and candidates. It stipulates that if these addresses are classified as public data, a responsible authority is required to provide them only upon receiving a written request.

This change aims to enhance privacy protections for elected officials and candidates by ensuring that their residential addresses are not disclosed without explicit consent through a formal request. This measure reflects a growing concern for the safety and privacy of individuals in public office.
