  1.37  BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
  1.38     Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 11A.24, 
  1.39  subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
  1.40     Subd. 6.  [OTHER INVESTMENTS.] (a) In addition to the 
  1.41  investments authorized in subdivisions 1 to 5, and subject to 
  2.1   the provisions in paragraph (b), the state board may invest 
  2.2   funds in:  
  2.3      (1) venture capital investment businesses through 
  2.4   participation in limited partnerships, trusts, private 
  2.5   placements, limited liability corporations, limited liability 
  2.6   companies, limited liability partnerships, and corporations; 
  2.7      (2) real estate ownership interests or loans secured by 
  2.8   mortgages or deeds of trust or shares of real estate investment 
  2.9   trusts through investment in limited partnerships, bank 
  2.10  sponsored collective funds, trusts, mortgage participation 
  2.11  agreements, and insurance company commingled accounts, including 
  2.12  separate accounts; 
  2.13     (3) regional and mutual funds through bank sponsored 
  2.14  collective funds and open-end investment companies registered 
  2.15  under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940, and closed-end 
  2.16  mutual funds listed on an exchange regulated by a governmental 
  2.17  agency;

  2.19  trusts, private placements, limited liability corporations, 
  2.20  limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships, and 
  2.21  corporations; and 
  2.22     (5) international securities. 
  2.23     (b) The investments authorized in paragraph (a) must 
  2.24  conform to the following provisions:  
  2.25     (1) the aggregate value of all investments made according 
  2.26  to paragraph (a), clauses (1) to (4), may not exceed 35 percent 
  2.27  of the market value of the fund for which the state board is 
  2.28  investing; 
  2.29     (2) there must be at least four unrelated owners of the

  2.35     (4) state board participation in a limited partnership does 
  2.36  not include a general partnership interest or other interest 
  3.1   involving general liability.  The state board may not engage in 
  3.2   any activity as a limited partner which creates general 
  3.3   liability.  
  3.4      (c) All financial or proprietary data received, prepared, 
  3.5   used, or retained by the state board in connection with 
  3.6   investments authorized by paragraph (a), clause (1), (2), or 
  3.7   (4), are nonpublic data under section 13.02, subdivision 9.  As 
  3.8   used in this paragraph, "financial or proprietary data" means 
  3.9   information, as determined by the executive director, that is of 
  3.10  a financial or proprietary nature; and the release of which 
  3.11  could cause competitive harm to the state board, the legal 
  3.12  entity in which the state board has invested or has considered 
  3.13  an investment, the managing entity of an investment, or a 
  3.14  portfolio company in which the legal entity holds an interest.  
  3.15  Regardless of whether they could be considered financial or 
  3.16  proprietary data, the following data received, prepared, used, 
  3.17  or retained by the state board in connection with investments 
  3.18  authorized by paragraph (a), clause (1), (2), or (4), are public 
  3.19  at all times:

  3.21  entity in which the state board has invested or in which the 
  3.22  state board has considered an investment; 
  3.23     (2) the state board commitment amount, if any; 
  3.24     (3) the funded amount of the state board's commitment to 
  3.25  date, if any; 
  3.26     (4) the market value of the investment by the state board; 
  3.27     (5) the state board's internal rate of return for the 
  3.28  investment, including expenditures and receipts used in the 
  3.29  calculation of the investment's internal rate of return; and 
  3.30     (6) the age of the investment in years. 
  3.31     <b>[EFFECTIVE DATE.]</b> This section is effective the day 
  3.32  following final enactment. 
  3.33     Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.01, 
  3.34  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
  3.35     Subdivision 1.  [APPLICABILITY.] All state agencies, 
  3.36  political subdivisions and statewide systems government entities 
  4.1   shall be governed by this chapter.  
  4.2      Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.01, 
  4.3   subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
  4.4      Subd. 3.  [SCOPE.] This chapter regulates the collection, 
  4.5   creation, storage, maintenance, dissemination, and access to 
  4.6   government data in state agencies, statewide systems, and 
  4.7   political subdivisions government entities.  It establishes a 
  4.8   presumption that government data are public and are accessible 
  4.9   by the public for both inspection and copying unless there is 
  4.10  federal law, a state statute, or a temporary classification of 
  4.11  data that provides that certain data are not public. 
  4.12     Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.02, 
  4.13  subdivision 7, is amended to read: 
  4.14     Subd. 7.  [GOVERNMENT DATA.] "Government data" means all 
  4.15  data collected, created, received, maintained or disseminated by 
  4.16  any state agency, political subdivision, or statewide 
  4.17  system government entity regardless of its physical form, 
  4.18  storage media or conditions of use.  
  4.19     Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.03, 
  4.20  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
  4.21     Subdivision 1.  [PUBLIC DATA.] All government data 
  4.22  collected, created, received, maintained or disseminated by a 
  4.23  state agency, political subdivision, or statewide 
  4.24  system government entity shall be public unless classified by 
  4.25  statute, or temporary classification pursuant to section 13.06, 
  4.26  or federal law, as nonpublic or protected nonpublic, or with 
  4.27  respect to data on individuals, as private or confidential. The 
  4.28  responsible authority in every state agency, political 
  4.29  subdivision and statewide system government entity shall keep 
  4.30  records containing government data in such an arrangement and 
  4.31  condition as to make them easily accessible for convenient use.  
  4.32  Photographic, photostatic, microphotographic, or microfilmed 
  4.33  records shall be considered as accessible for convenient use 
  4.34  regardless of the size of such records. 
  4.35     Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.03, 
  4.36  subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
  5.1      Subd. 2.  [PROCEDURES.] (a) The responsible authority in 
  5.2   every state agency, political subdivision, and statewide 
  5.3   system government entity shall establish procedures, consistent 
  5.4   with this chapter, to insure that requests for government data 
  5.5   are received and complied with in an appropriate and prompt 
  5.6   manner. 
  5.7      (b) The responsible authority shall prepare public access 
  5.8   procedures in written form and update them no later than August 
  5.9   1 of each year as necessary to reflect any changes in personnel 
  5.10  or circumstances that might affect public access to government 
  5.11  data.  The responsible authority shall make copies of the 
  5.12  written public access procedures easily available to the public 
  5.13  by distributing free copies of the procedures to the public or 
  5.14  by posting a copy of the procedures in a conspicuous place 
  5.15  within the government entity that is easily accessible to the 
  5.16  public. 
  5.17     (c) Full convenience and comprehensive accessibility shall 
  5.18  be allowed to researchers including historians, genealogists and 
  5.19  other scholars to carry out extensive research and complete 
  5.20  copying of all records containing government data except as 
  5.21  otherwise expressly provided by law. 
  5.22     A responsible authority may designate one or more designees.
  5.23     Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.03, 
  5.24  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
  5.25     Subd. 3.  [REQUEST FOR ACCESS TO DATA.] (a) Upon request to 
  5.26  a responsible authority or designee, a person shall be permitted 
  5.27  to inspect and copy public government data at reasonable times 
  5.28  and places, and, upon request, shall be informed of the data's 
  5.29  meaning.  If a person requests access for the purpose of 
  5.30  inspection, the responsible authority may not assess a charge or 
  5.31  require the requesting person to pay a fee to inspect data.  
  5.32     (b) For purposes of this section, "inspection" includes, 
  5.33  but is not limited to, the visual inspection of paper and 
  5.34  similar types of government data.  Inspection does not include 
  5.35  printing copies by the government entity, unless printing a copy 
  5.36  is the only method to provide for inspection of the data.  In 
  6.1   the case of data stored in electronic form and made available in 
  6.2   electronic form on a remote access basis to the public by the 
  6.3   government entity, inspection includes remote access to the data 
  6.4   by the public and the ability to print copies of or download the 
  6.5   data on the public's own computer equipment.  Nothing in this 
  6.6   section prohibits a government entity from charging a reasonable 
  6.7   fee for remote access to data under a specific statutory grant 
  6.8   of authority.  A government entity may charge a fee for remote 
  6.9   access to data where either the data or the access is enhanced 
  6.10  at the request of the person seeking access. 
  6.11     (c) The responsible authority or designee shall provide 
  6.12  copies of public data upon request.  If a person requests copies 
  6.13  or electronic transmittal of the data to the person, the 
  6.14  responsible authority may require the requesting person to pay 
  6.15  the actual costs of searching for and retrieving government 
  6.16  data, including the cost of employee time, and for making, 
  6.17  certifying, compiling, and electronically transmitting the 
  6.18  copies of the data or the data, but may not charge for 
  6.19  separating public from not public data.  However, if copies of 
  6.20  100 or fewer black and white, letter- or legal-size pages are 
  6.21  requested, actual costs shall not be used, and instead the 
  6.22  responsible authority may charge up to 25 cents for each page 
  6.23  copied.  If the responsible authority or designee is not able to 
  6.24  provide copies at the time a request is made, copies shall be 
  6.25  supplied as soon as reasonably possible. 
  6.26     (d) When a request under this subdivision involves any 
  6.27  person's receipt of copies of public government data that has 
  6.28  commercial value and is a substantial and discrete portion of or 
  6.29  an entire formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, 
  6.30  method, technique, process, database, or system developed with a 
  6.31  significant expenditure of public funds by the agency government 
  6.32  entity, the responsible authority may charge a reasonable fee 
  6.33  for the information in addition to the costs of making, 
  6.34  certifying, and compiling the copies.  Any fee charged must be 
  6.35  clearly demonstrated by the agency government entity to relate 
  6.36  to the actual development costs of the information.  The 
  7.1   responsible authority, upon the request of any person, shall 
  7.2   provide sufficient documentation to explain and justify the fee 
  7.3   being charged.  
  7.4      (e) The responsible authority of a state agency, statewide 
  7.5   system, or political subdivision government entity that 
  7.6   maintains public government data in a computer storage medium 
  7.7   shall provide to any person making a request under this section 
  7.8   a copy of any public data contained in that medium, in 
  7.9   electronic form, if the government entity can reasonably make 
  7.10  the copy or have a copy made.  This does not require a 
  7.11  government entity to provide the data in an electronic format or 
  7.12  program that is different from the format or program in which 
  7.13  the data are maintained by the government entity.  The entity 
  7.14  may require the requesting person to pay the actual cost of 
  7.15  providing the copy.  
  7.16     (f) If the responsible authority or designee determines 
  7.17  that the requested data is classified so as to deny the 
  7.18  requesting person access, the responsible authority or designee 
  7.19  shall inform the requesting person of the determination either 
  7.20  orally at the time of the request, or in writing as soon after 
  7.21  that time as possible, and shall cite the specific statutory 
  7.22  section, temporary classification, or specific provision of 
  7.23  federal law on which the determination is based.  Upon the 
  7.24  request of any person denied access to data, the responsible 
  7.25  authority or designee shall certify in writing that the request 
  7.26  has been denied and cite the specific statutory section, 
  7.27  temporary classification, or specific provision of federal law 
  7.28  upon which the denial was based.  
  7.29     Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.03, 
  7.30  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
  7.31     Subd. 4.  [CHANGE IN CLASSIFICATION OF DATA; EFFECT OF 
  7.32  DISSEMINATION AMONG AGENCIES.] (a) The classification of data in 
  7.33  the possession of an agency entity shall change if it is 
  7.34  required to do so to comply with either judicial or 
  7.35  administrative rules pertaining to the conduct of legal actions 
  7.36  or with a specific statute applicable to the data in the 
  8.1   possession of the disseminating or receiving agency entity. 
  8.2      (b) If data on individuals is classified as both private 
  8.3   and confidential by this chapter, or any other statute or 
  8.4   federal law, the data is private.  
  8.5      (c) To the extent that government data is disseminated to 
  8.6   state agencies, political subdivisions, or statewide systems a 
  8.7   government entity by another state agency, political 
  8.8   subdivision, or statewide system government entity, the data 
  8.9   disseminated shall have the same classification in the hands of 
  8.10  the agency entity receiving it as it had in the hands of the 
  8.11  entity providing it. 
  8.12     (d) If a state agency, statewide system, or political 
  8.13  subdivision government entity disseminates data to another state 
  8.14  agency, statewide system, or political subdivision government 
  8.15  entity, a classification provided for by law in the hands of the 
  8.16  entity receiving the data does not affect the classification of 
  8.17  the data in the hands of the entity that disseminates the data. 
  8.18     Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.03, 
  8.19  subdivision 5, is amended to read: 
  8.20     Subd. 5.  [COPYRIGHT OR PATENT OF GOVERNMENT DATA.] A state 
  8.21  agency, statewide system, or political subdivision government 
  8.22  entity may enforce a copyright or acquire a patent for a 
  8.23  computer software program or components of a program created by 
  8.24  that government agency entity without statutory authority.  In 
  8.25  the event that a government agency entity acquires a patent to a 
  8.26  computer software program or component of a program, the data 
  8.27  shall be treated as trade secret information pursuant to section 
  8.28  13.37. 
  8.29     Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.03, 
  8.30  subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
  8.31     Subd. 6.  [DISCOVERABILITY OF NOT PUBLIC DATA.] If a state 
  8.32  agency, political subdivision, or statewide system government 
  8.33  entity opposes discovery of government data or release of data 
  8.34  pursuant to court order on the grounds that the data are 
  8.35  classified as not public, the party that seeks access to the 
  8.36  data may bring before the appropriate presiding judicial 
  9.1   officer, arbitrator, or administrative law judge an action to 
  9.2   compel discovery or an action in the nature of an action to 
  9.3   compel discovery.  
  9.4      The presiding officer shall first decide whether the data 
  9.5   are discoverable or releasable pursuant to the rules of evidence 
  9.6   and of criminal, civil, or administrative procedure appropriate 
  9.7   to the action.  
  9.8      If the data are discoverable the presiding officer shall 
  9.9   decide whether the benefit to the party seeking access to the 
  9.10  data outweighs any harm to the confidentiality interests of the 
  9.11  agency entity maintaining the data, or of any person who has 
  9.12  provided the data or who is the subject of the data, or to the 
  9.13  privacy interest of an individual identified in the data.  In 
  9.14  making the decision, the presiding officer shall consider 
  9.15  whether notice to the subject of the data is warranted and, if 
  9.16  warranted, what type of notice must be given.  The presiding 
  9.17  officer may fashion and issue any protective orders necessary to 
  9.18  assure proper handling of the data by the parties.  If the data 
  9.19  are a videotape of a child victim or alleged victim alleging, 
  9.20  explaining, denying, or describing an act of physical or sexual 
  9.21  abuse, the presiding officer shall consider the provisions of 
  9.22  section 611A.90, subdivision 2, paragraph (b).  
  9.23     Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.03, 
  9.24  subdivision 8, is amended to read: 
  9.25     Subd. 8.  [CHANGE TO CLASSIFICATION OF DATA NOT ON 
  9.26  INDIVIDUALS.] Except for security information, nonpublic and 
  9.27  protected nonpublic data shall become public either ten years 
  9.28  after the creation of the data by the government agency entity 
  9.29  or ten years after the data was received or collected by any 
  9.30  governmental agency entity unless the responsible authority for 
  9.31  the originating or custodial agency entity for the data 
  9.32  reasonably determines that, if the data were made available to 
  9.33  the public or to the data subject, the harm to the public or to 
  9.34  a data subject would outweigh the benefit to the public or to 
  9.35  the data subject.  If the responsible authority denies access to 
  9.36  the data, the person denied access may challenge the denial by 
 10.1   bringing an action in district court seeking release of the 
 10.2   data.  The action shall be brought in the district court located 
 10.3   in the county where the data are being maintained, or, in the 
 10.4   case of data maintained by a state agency, in any county.  The 
 10.5   data in dispute shall be examined by the court in camera.  In 
 10.6   deciding whether or not to release the data, the court shall 
 10.7   consider the benefits and harms in the same manner as set forth 
 10.8   above.  The court shall make a written statement of findings in 
 10.9   support of its decision.  
 10.10     Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.04, 
 10.11  subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
 10.12     Subd. 2.  [INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN INDIVIDUAL.] An 
 10.13  individual asked to supply private or confidential data 
 10.14  concerning the individual shall be informed of:  (a) the purpose 
 10.15  and intended use of the requested data within the collecting 
 10.16  state agency, political subdivision, or statewide 
 10.17  system government entity; (b) whether the individual may refuse 
 10.18  or is legally required to supply the requested data; (c) any

 10.20  private or confidential data; and (d) the identity of other 
 10.21  persons or entities authorized by state or federal law to 
 10.22  receive the data.  This requirement shall not apply when an 
 10.23  individual is asked to supply investigative data, pursuant to 
 10.24  section 13.82, subdivision 7, to a law enforcement officer. 
 10.25     Sec. 13.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.04, 
 10.26  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 10.27     Subd. 4.  [PROCEDURE WHEN DATA IS NOT ACCURATE OR 
 10.28  COMPLETE.] (a) An individual subject of the data may contest the 
 10.29  accuracy or completeness of public or private data.  To exercise 
 10.30  this right, an individual shall notify in writing the 
 10.31  responsible authority describing the nature of the 
 10.32  disagreement.  The responsible authority shall within 30 days 
 10.33  either:  (1) correct the data found to be inaccurate or 
 10.34  incomplete and attempt to notify past recipients of inaccurate 
 10.35  or incomplete data, including recipients named by the 
 10.36  individual; or (2) notify the individual that the authority 
 11.1   believes the data to be correct.  Data in dispute shall be 
 11.2   disclosed only if the individual's statement of disagreement is 
 11.3   included with the disclosed data. 
 11.4      The determination of the responsible authority may be 
 11.5   appealed pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative 
 11.6   Procedure Act relating to contested cases.  Upon receipt of an 
 11.7   appeal by an individual, the commissioner shall, before issuing 
 11.8   the order and notice of a contested case hearing required by 
 11.9   chapter 14, try to resolve the dispute through education, 
 11.10  conference, conciliation, or persuasion.  If the parties 
 11.11  consent, the commissioner may refer the matter to mediation.  
 11.12  Following these efforts, the commissioner shall dismiss the 
 11.13  appeal or issue the order and notice of hearing. 
 11.14     (b) Data on individuals that have been successfully 
 11.15  challenged by an individual must be completed, corrected, or

 11.19  challenged data, a state agency, political subdivision, or 
 11.20  statewide system government entity may retain a copy of the 
 11.21  commissioner of administration's order issued under chapter 14 
 11.22  or, if no order were issued, a summary of the dispute between 
 11.23  the parties that does not contain any particulars of the 
 11.24  successfully challenged data.

 14.19  responsible authority shall prepare summary data from private or 
 14.20  confidential data on individuals upon the request of any person 
 14.21  if the request is in writing and the cost of preparing the

 14.31  subdivision 8, is amended to read: 
 14.32     Subd. 8.  [PUBLICATION OF ACCESS PROCEDURES.] The

 15.5      Subd. 9.  [INTERGOVERNMENTAL ACCESS OF DATA.] A responsible 
 15.6   authority shall allow another responsible authority access to 
 15.7   data classified as not public only when the access is authorized 
 15.8   or required by statute or federal law.  An agency entity that 
 15.9   supplies government data under this subdivision may require the 
 15.10  requesting agency entity to pay the actual cost of supplying the 
 15.11  data.  
 15.12     Sec. 20.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.06, 
 15.13  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 15.14     Subdivision 1.  [APPLICATION TO COMMISSIONER.] 
 15.15  Notwithstanding the provisions of section 13.03, the responsible

 15.17  system government entity may apply to the commissioner for 
 15.18  permission to classify data or types of data on individuals as 
 15.19  private or confidential, or data not on individuals as nonpublic 
 15.20  or protected nonpublic, for its own use and for the use of other 
 15.21  similar agencies, political subdivisions, or statewide 
 15.22  systems government entities on a temporary basis until a 
 15.23  proposed statute can be acted upon by the legislature.  The 
 15.24  application for temporary classification is public. 
 15.25     Upon the filing of an application for temporary 
 15.26  classification, the data which is the subject of the application 
 15.27  shall be deemed to be classified as set forth in the application 
 15.28  for a period of 45 days, or until the application is 
 15.29  disapproved, rejected, or granted by the commissioner, whichever 
 15.30  is earlier. 
 15.31     If the commissioner determines that an application has been 
 15.32  submitted for purposes not consistent with this section, the 
 15.33  commissioner may immediately reject the application, give notice 
 15.34  of that rejection to the applicant, and return the application. 
 15.35  When the applicant receives the notice of rejection from the 
 15.36  commissioner, the data which was the subject of the application 
 16.1   shall have the classification it had before the application was 
 16.2   submitted to the commissioner.  
 16.3      Sec. 21.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.06, 
 16.4   subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
 16.5      Subd. 2.  [CONTENTS OF APPLICATION FOR PRIVATE OR 
 16.6   CONFIDENTIAL DATA.] An application for temporary classification 
 16.7   of data on individuals shall include and the applicant shall 
 16.8   have the burden of clearly establishing that no statute 
 16.9   currently exists which either allows or forbids classification 
 16.10  as private or confidential; and either 
 16.11     (a) that data similar to that for which the temporary 
 16.12  classification is sought has been treated as either private or 
 16.13  confidential by other state agencies or political 
 16.14  subdivisions government entities, and by the public; or 
 16.15     (b) that a compelling need exists for immediate temporary 
 16.16  classification, which if not granted could adversely affect the 
 16.17  public interest or the health, safety, well being or reputation 
 16.18  of the data subject. 
 16.19     Sec. 22.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.06, 
 16.20  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 16.21     Subd. 3.  [CONTENTS OF APPLICATION FOR NONPUBLIC OR 
 16.22  NONPUBLIC PROTECTED DATA.] An application for temporary 
 16.23  classification of government data not on individuals shall 
 16.24  include and the applicant shall have the burden of clearly 
 16.25  establishing that no statute currently exists which either 
 16.26  allows or forbids classification as nonpublic or protected 
 16.27  nonpublic; and either 
 16.28     (a) that data similar to that for which the temporary 
 16.29  classification is sought has been treated as nonpublic or 
 16.30  protected nonpublic by other state agencies or political 
 16.31  subdivisions government entities, and by the public; or 
 16.32     (b) public access to the data would render unworkable a 
 16.33  program authorized by law; or 
 16.34     (c) that a compelling need exists for immediate temporary 
 16.35  classification, which if not granted could adversely affect the 
 16.36  health, safety or welfare of the public. 
 17.1      Sec. 23.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.06, 
 17.2   subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 17.3      Subd. 4.  [PROCEDURE WHEN CLASSIFICATION AFFECTS OTHERS.] 
 17.4   If the commissioner determines that an application for temporary 
 17.5   classification involves data which would reasonably be 
 17.6   classified in the same manner by all agencies, political 
 17.7   subdivisions, or statewide systems government entities similar 
 17.8   to the one which made the application, the commissioner may 
 17.9   approve or disapprove the classification for data of the kind 
 17.10  which is the subject of the application for the use of 
 17.11  all agencies, political subdivisions, or statewide 
 17.12  systems government entities similar to the applicant.  On 
 17.13  deeming this approach advisable, the commissioner shall provide 
 17.14  notice of the proposed action by publication in the State 
 17.15  Register within ten days of receiving the application.  Within 
 17.16  30 days after publication in the State Register an 
 17.17  affected agency, political subdivision, government entity or the 
 17.18  public, or statewide system may submit comments on the 
 17.19  commissioner's proposal.  The commissioner shall consider any 
 17.20  comments received when granting or denying a classification for 
 17.21  data of the kind which is the subject of the application, for 
 17.22  the use of all agencies, political subdivisions, or statewide 
 17.23  systems government entities similar to the applicant.  Within 45 
 17.24  days after the close of the period for submitting comment, the 
 17.25  commissioner shall grant or disapprove the application.  
 17.26  Applications processed under this subdivision shall be either 
 17.27  approved or disapproved by the commissioner within 90 days of 
 17.28  the receipt of the application.  For purposes of subdivision 1, 
 17.29  the data which is the subject of the classification shall be 
 17.30  deemed to be classified as set forth in the application for a 
 17.31  period of 90 days, or until the application is disapproved or 
 17.32  granted by the commissioner, whichever is earlier.  If requested 
 17.33  in the application, or determined to be necessary by the 
 17.34  commissioner, the data in the application shall be so classified 
 17.35  for all agencies, political subdivisions, or statewide 
 17.36  systems government entities similar to the applicant until the 
 18.1   application is disapproved or granted by the commissioner, 
 18.2   whichever is earlier.  Proceedings after the grant or 
 18.3   disapproval shall be governed by the provisions of subdivision 5.
 18.4      Sec. 24.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.07, is 
 18.5   amended to read: 
 18.6      13.07 [DUTIES OF THE COMMISSIONER.] 
 18.7      The commissioner shall promulgate rules, in accordance with 
 18.8   the rulemaking procedures in the Administrative Procedure Act 
 18.9   which shall apply to state agencies, statewide systems and 
 18.10  political subdivisions government entities to implement the 
 18.11  enforcement and administration of this chapter.  The rules shall 
 18.12  not affect section 13.04, relating to rights of subjects of 
 18.13  data.  Prior to the adoption of rules authorized by this section 
 18.14  the commissioner shall give notice to all state agencies and 
 18.15  political subdivisions in the same manner and in addition to 
 18.16  other parties as required by section 14.06 of the date and place 
 18.17  of hearing, enclosing a copy of the rules to be adopted. 
 18.18     Sec. 25.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.072, 
 18.19  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 18.20     Subd. 4.  [DATA SUBMITTED TO COMMISSIONER.] A state agency, 
 18.21  statewide system, or political subdivision government entity may 
 18.22  submit not public data to the commissioner for the purpose of 
 18.23  requesting or responding to a person's request for an opinion.  
 18.24  Government data submitted to the commissioner by a state agency, 
 18.25  statewide system, or political subdivision government entity or 
 18.26  copies of government data submitted by other persons have the 
 18.27  same classification as the data have when held by the state 
 18.28  agency, statewide system, or political subdivision government 
 18.29  entity.  If the nature of the opinion is such that the release 
 18.30  of the opinion would reveal not public data, the commissioner 
 18.31  may issue an opinion using pseudonyms for individuals.  Data 
 18.32  maintained by the commissioner, in the record of an opinion 
 18.33  issued using pseudonyms that would reveal the identities of 
 18.34  individuals protected by the use of the pseudonyms, are private 
 18.35  data on individuals. 
 18.36     Sec. 26.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.073, 
 19.1   subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 19.2      Subd. 3.  [BASIC TRAINING.] The basic training component 
 19.3   should be designed to meet the basic information policy needs of 
 19.4   all government employees and public officials with a focus on 
 19.5   key data practices laws and procedures that apply to all 
 19.6   government entities.  The commissioner should design the basic 
 19.7   training component in a manner that minimizes duplication of the 
 19.8   effort and cost for government entities to provide basic 
 19.9   training.  The commissioner may develop general programs and 
 19.10  materials for basic training such as video presentations, data 
 19.11  practices booklets, and training guides.  The commissioner may 
 19.12  assist state and local government agencies entities in 
 19.13  developing training expertise within their own agencies entities 
 19.14  and offer assistance for periodic training sessions for this 
 19.15  purpose. 
 19.16     Sec. 27.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.08, 
 19.17  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 19.18     Subdivision 1.  [ACTION FOR DAMAGES.] Notwithstanding 
 19.19  section 466.03, a political subdivision, responsible authority, 
 19.20  statewide system, or state agency government entity which 
 19.21  violates any provision of this chapter is liable to a person or 
 19.22  representative of a decedent who suffers any damage as a result 
 19.23  of the violation, and the person damaged or a representative in 
 19.24  the case of private data on decedents or confidential data on 
 19.25  decedents may bring an action against the political subdivision, 
 19.26  responsible authority, statewide system or state agency 
 19.27  government entity to cover any damages sustained, plus costs and 
 19.28  reasonable attorney fees.  In the case of a willful violation, 
 19.29  The political subdivision, statewide system or state 
 19.30  agency government entity shall, in addition, be liable to 
 19.31  exemplary damages of not less than $100 $5,000, nor more than 
 19.32  $10,000 $100,000 for each violation.  The state is deemed to 
 19.33  have waived any immunity to a cause of action brought under this 
 19.34  chapter. 
 19.35     Sec. 28.  Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 13.08, 
 19.36  subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
 20.1      Subd. 2.  [INJUNCTION.] A political subdivision, 
 20.2   responsible authority, statewide system or state agency 
 20.3   government entity which violates or proposes to violate this 
 20.4   chapter may be enjoined by the district court.  The court may 
 20.5   make any order or judgment as may be necessary to prevent the 
 20.6   use or employment by any person of any practices which violate 
 20.7   this chapter.

 20.11  the remedies provided in subdivisions 1 to 3 or any other law, 
 20.12  any aggrieved person seeking to enforce the person's rights 
 20.13  under this chapter or obtain access to data may bring an action 
 20.14  in district court to compel compliance with this chapter and may 
 20.15  recover costs and disbursements, including reasonable attorney's 
 20.16  fees, as determined by the court.  If the court determines that 
 20.17  an action brought under this subdivision is frivolous and 
 20.18  without merit and a basis in fact, it may award reasonable costs 
 20.19  and attorney fees to the responsible authority.  If the court 
 20.20  issues an order to compel compliance under this subdivision, the 
 20.21  court may impose a civil penalty of up to $300 $3,000 against 
 20.22  the government entity.  This penalty is payable to the state 
 20.23  general fund and is in addition to damages under subdivision 1.  
 20.24  The matter shall be heard as soon as possible.  In an action 
 20.25  involving a request for government data under section 13.03 or 
 20.26  13.04, the court may inspect in camera the government data in 
 20.27  dispute, but shall conduct its hearing in public and in a manner 
 20.28  that protects the security of data classified as not public.  If

 57.36  classification as confidential or protected nonpublic data if 
 58.1   the law enforcement agency updates the data or notifies CIBRS 
 58.2   that the investigation is still active before the 120th day.  A 
 58.3   new 120-day period begins if the data is updated or if a law

 59.6   challenged.  The notification must identify the data that was 
 59.7   challenged and the subject of the data.  CIBRS must include any 
 59.8   notification received under this paragraph whenever
