9.27    Subdivision 1. Application to commissioner. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions
9.28of section 13.03, the responsible authority of a government entity may apply to the
9.29commissioner for permission to classify data or types of data on individuals as private
9.30or confidential, or data not on individuals as nonpublic or protected nonpublic, for its
9.31own use and for the use of other similar government entities on a temporary basis until
10.1a proposed statute can be acted upon by the legislature. The application for temporary
10.2classification is public.
10.3(b) Upon the filing receipt by the commissioner of an application for temporary
10.4classification, the data which is the subject of the application shall be deemed to be
10.5classified as set forth in the application for a period of 45 days, or until the application is
10.6disapproved, rejected, or granted by the commissioner, whichever is earlier.
10.7(c) If the commissioner determines that an application has been submitted for
10.8purposes not consistent with this section, the commissioner may immediately reject the
10.9application, give notice of that rejection to the applicant, and return the application. When
10.10the applicant receives the notice of rejection from the commissioner, the data which was
10.11the subject of the application shall have the classification it had before the application was
10.12submitted to the commissioner.

10.13    Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 13.06, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
10.14    Subd. 3. Contents of application for nonpublic or nonpublic protected data.
10.15An application for temporary classification of government data not on individuals shall

10.17currently exists which either allows or forbids classification as nonpublic or protected
10.18nonpublic not public; and either one or more of the following:
10.19(1) that data similar to that for which the temporary classification is sought has have
10.20been treated classified as nonpublic or protected nonpublic not public by other government
10.21entities, and by the public; or
10.22(2) public access to the data would render unworkable a program authorized by
10.23law; or.
10.24(3) The applicant must also clearly establish that a compelling need exists for
10.25immediate temporary classification, which if not granted could adversely affect the health,
10.26safety or welfare of the public, or the data subject's well-being or reputation.

10.27    Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 13.06, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
10.28    Subd. 4. Procedure when classification affects others. If the commissioner
10.29determines that an application for temporary classification involves data which would
10.30reasonably be classified in the same manner by all government entities similar to the
10.31one which made the application, the commissioner may approve or disapprove the
10.32classification for data of the kind which is the subject of the application for the use
10.33of all government entities similar to the applicant. If requested in the application, the
10.34commissioner may also determine that the data classification affects similar government
11.1entities. On deeming this approach advisable, the commissioner shall provide notice of
11.2the proposed action by publication in the State Register within ten 15 days of receiving the
11.3application. Within 30 days after publication in the State Register an affected government
11.4entity or the public may submit comments on the commissioner's proposal application.
11.5The commissioner shall consider any comments received when granting or denying a
11.6classification for data of the kind which is the subject of the application, for the use of all
11.7government entities similar to the applicant. Within 45 days after the close of the period
11.8for submitting comment, the commissioner shall grant or disapprove the application.
11.9Applications processed under this subdivision shall be either approved or disapproved
11.10by the commissioner within 90 days of the receipt of the application. For purposes of
11.11subdivision 1, the data which is the subject of the classification shall be deemed to be
11.12classified as set forth in the application for a period of 90 days, or until the application
11.13is disapproved or granted by the commissioner, whichever is earlier. If requested in the
11.14application, or determined to be necessary by the commissioner, the data in the application
11.15shall be so classified for all government entities similar to the applicant until the application
11.16is disapproved or granted by the commissioner, whichever is earlier. Proceedings after the
11.17grant or disapproval shall be governed by the provisions of subdivision 5.

11.18    Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 13.06, is amended by adding a subdivision to

11.23authority shall notify the commissioner in writing of the entity's intent to withdraw the
11.24application. The written withdrawal must state the reason the temporary classification is
11.25no longer necessary and must be signed by the responsible authority.

11.26    Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 13.06, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
11.27    Subd. 5. Determination. (a) The commissioner shall either grant or disapprove

11.29the commissioner. On disapproving an application, the commissioner shall set forth
11.30in detail reasons for the disapproval, and shall include a statement of belief as to what
11.31classification is appropriate for the data which is the subject of the application. Twenty
11.32days after the date of the responsible authority receives the commissioner's disapproval
11.33of an application, the data which is the subject of the application shall become public
