BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 13.825, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

Subd. 2.

Data classification; court-authorized disclosure.

(a) Data collected by a
portable recording system are private data on individuals or nonpublic data, subject to the
following:

(1) data that document the discharge of a firearm by a peace officer in the course of duty,
if a notice is required under section 626.553, subdivision 2, or the use of force by a peace
officer that results in substantial bodily harm, as defined in section 609.02, subdivision 7a,
are public;

(2) data are public if a subject of the data requests it be made accessible to the public,
except that, if practicable, (i) data on a subject who is not a peace officer and who does not
consent to the release must be redacted, and (ii) data on a peace officer whose identity is
protected under section 13.82, subdivision 17, clause (a), must be redacted;

(3) portable recording system data that are active criminal investigative data are governed
by section 13.82, subdivision 7, and portable recording system data that are inactive criminal
investigative data are governed by this section;

(4) portable recording system data that are public personnel data under section 13.43,
subdivision 2, clause (5), are public; and

(5) data that are not public data under other provisions of this chapter retain that
classification.

new text begin (b) Notwithstanding section 13.82, subdivision 7, a deceased individual's next of kin,
legal representative of the next of kin, or other parent of the deceased individual's children
is entitled to view any and all recordings from a peace officer's portable recording system
and police vehicle dashboard camera, redacted no more than what is required by law, that
documents the use of deadly force no later than five business days following an incident
where deadly force used by a peace officer results in the death of an individual, except that
a chief law enforcement officer may deny a request if the investigating agency requests and
can articulate a compelling reason as to why allowing the deceased individual's next of kin,
legal representative of the next of kin, or other parent of the deceased individual's children
to review the recordings would interfere with a thorough investigation. If the chief law
enforcement officer denies a request under this paragraph, the involved officer's agency
must issue a prompt, written denial and provide notice to the deceased individual's next of
kin, legal representative of the next of kin, or other parent of the deceased individual's
children that relief may be sought from the district court.
new text end

new text begin (c) Notwithstanding section 13.82, subdivision 7, an involved officer's agency shall
release all portable recording system and police vehicle dashboard camera recordings of an
incident where a peace officer used deadly force and an individual dies to the public no
later than 14 business days after the incident, except that a chief law enforcement officer
shall not release the video if the investigating agency asserts in writing that allowing the
public to view the recordings would interfere with the ongoing investigation.

deleted text begin (b) deleted text end new text begin (d) new text end A law enforcement agency may redact or withhold access to portions of data that

this subdivision.

deleted text begin (d) deleted text end new text begin (f) new text end Any person may bring an action in the district court located in the county where
portable recording system data are being maintained to authorize disclosure of data that are
private or nonpublic under this section or to challenge a determination under paragraph (b)
to redact or withhold access to portions of data because the data are clearly offensive to
common sensibilities. The person bringing the action must give notice of the action to the
law enforcement agency and subjects of the data, if known. The law enforcement agency
must give notice to other subjects of the data, if known, who did not receive the notice from
the person bringing the action. The court may order that all or part of the data be released
to the public or to the person bringing the action. In making this determination, the court
shall consider whether the benefit to the person bringing the action or to the public outweighs
any harm to the public, to the law enforcement agency, or to a subject of the data and, if
the action is challenging a determination under paragraph (b), whether the data are clearly
offensive to common sensibilities. The data in dispute must be examined by the court in
camera. This paragraph does not affect the right of a defendant in a criminal proceeding to
obtain access to portable recording system data under the Rules of Criminal Procedure.
