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

1.19 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 13.825, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
1.20 		Subd. 2.Data classification; court-authorized disclosure. (a) Data collected by a 
1.21 	portable recording system are private data on individuals or nonpublic data, subject to the 
1.22 	following:
1.23 	(1) data that document the discharge of a firearm by a peace officer in the course of duty, 
1.24 	if a notice is required under section 626.553, subdivision 2, or the use of force by a peace 
1.25 	officer that results in substantial bodily harm, as defined in section 609.02, subdivision 7a, 
1.26 	are public;
1.27 	(2) data are public if a subject of the data requests it be made accessible to the public, 
1.28 	except that, if practicable, (i) data on a subject who is not a peace officer and who does not 
2.1 	consent to the release must be redacted, and (ii) data on a peace officer whose identity is 
2.2 	protected under section 13.82, subdivision 17, clause (a), must be redacted;
2.3 	(3) portable recording system data that are active criminal investigative data are governed 
2.4 	by section 13.82, subdivision 7, and portable recording system data that are inactive criminal 
2.5 	investigative data are governed by this section;
2.6 	(4) portable recording system data that are public personnel data under section 13.43, 
2.7 	subdivision 2, clause (5), are public; and
2.8 	(5) data that are not public data under other provisions of this chapter retain that 
2.9 	classification.
2.10 	(b) Notwithstanding section 13.82, subdivision 7, a deceased individual's next of kin, 
2.11 	legal representative of the next of kin, or other parent of the deceased individual's children 
2.12 	is entitled to view any and all recordings from a peace officer's portable recording system 
2.13 	and police vehicle dashboard camera, redacted no more than what is required by law, that 
2.14 	documents the use of deadly force no later than five business days following an incident 
2.15 	where deadly force used by a peace officer results in the death of an individual, except that 
2.16 	a chief law enforcement officer may deny a request if the investigating agency requests and 
2.17 	can articulate a compelling reason as to why allowing the deceased individual's next of kin, 
2.18 	legal representative of the next of kin, or other parent of the deceased individual's children 
2.19 	to review the recordings would interfere with a thorough investigation. If the chief law 
2.20 	enforcement officer denies a request under this paragraph, the involved officer's agency 
2.21 	must issue a prompt, written denial and provide notice to the deceased individual's next of 
2.22 	kin, legal representative of the next of kin, or other parent of the deceased individual's 
2.23 	children that relief may be sought from the district court.
2.24 	(c) Notwithstanding section 13.82, subdivision 7, an involved officer's agency shall 
2.25 	release all portable recording system and police vehicle dashboard camera recordings of an 
2.26 	incident where a peace officer used deadly force and an individual dies to the public no 
2.27 	later than 14 business days after the incident, except that a chief law enforcement officer 
2.28 	shall not release the video if the investigating agency asserts in writing that allowing the 
2.29 	public to view the recordings would interfere with the ongoing investigation.
2.30 	(b) (d) A law enforcement agency may redact or withhold access to portions of data that 
2.31 	are public under this subdivision if those portions of data are clearly offensive to common 
2.32 	sensibilities.
2.33 	(c) (e) Section 13.04, subdivision 2, does not apply to collection of data classified by 
2.34 	this subdivision.
3.1 	(d) (f) Any person may bring an action in the district court located in the county where 
3.2 	portable recording system data are being maintained to authorize disclosure of data that are 
3.3 	private or nonpublic under this section or to challenge a determination under paragraph (b) 
3.4 	to redact or withhold access to portions of data because the data are clearly offensive to 
3.5 	common sensibilities. The person bringing the action must give notice of the action to the 
3.6 	law enforcement agency and subjects of the data, if known. The law enforcement agency 
3.7 	must give notice to other subjects of the data, if known, who did not receive the notice from 
3.8 	the person bringing the action. The court may order that all or part of the data be released 
3.9 	to the public or to the person bringing the action. In making this determination, the court 
3.10 	shall consider whether the benefit to the person bringing the action or to the public outweighs 
3.11 	any harm to the public, to the law enforcement agency, or to a subject of the data and, if 
3.12 	the action is challenging a determination under paragraph (b), whether the data are clearly 
3.13 	offensive to common sensibilities. The data in dispute must be examined by the court in 
3.14 	camera. This paragraph does not affect the right of a defendant in a criminal proceeding to 
3.15 	obtain access to portable recording system data under the Rules of Criminal Procedure.

3.16 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 169A.40, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
3.17 		Subd. 3.Certain DWI offenders; custodial arrest. (a) Notwithstanding rule 6.01 of

3.20 	impaired), shall arrest and take the person into custody, and the person must be detained

3.33 	to public safety).

28.34 	victim service, counseling, or medical professional involved in the case;
29.1 	(3) the victim or claimant was the offender or an accomplice of the offender or an award 
29.2 	to the claimant would unjustly benefit the offender or an accomplice;

29.6 	that (i) if the claimant was unable to file a claim within that period, then the claim can be 
29.7 	made within three years of the time when a claim could have been filed; and (ii) if the 
29.8 	victim's injury or death was not reasonably discoverable within three years of the injury or 
29.9 	death, then the claim can be made within three years of the time when the injury or death 
29.10 	is reasonably discoverable. The following circumstances do not render a claimant unable 
29.11 	to file a claim for the purposes of this clause: (A) lack of knowledge of the existence of the 
29.12 	Minnesota Crime Victims Reparations Reimbursement Act, (B) the failure of a law 
29.13 	enforcement agency to provide information or assistance to a potential claimant under 
29.14 	section 611A.66, (C) the incompetency of the claimant if the claimant's affairs were being 
29.15 	managed during that period by a guardian, guardian ad litem, conservator, authorized agent,

29.25 	recouped from a collateral source or collateral sources. Where compensation is readily 
29.26 	available to a claimant from a collateral source, the claimant must take reasonable steps to 
29.27 	recoup from the collateral source before claiming reparations reimbursement;
29.28 	(2) reparations reimbursement shall be denied or reduced to the extent, if any, that the 
29.29 	board deems reasonable because of the contributory misconduct of the claimant or of a 
29.30 	victim through whom the claimant claims. Contributory misconduct does not include current 
29.31 	or past affiliation with any particular group; and
30.1 	(3) reparations reimbursement paid to all claimants suffering economic loss as the result 
30.2 	of the injury or death of any one victim shall not exceed $50,000.
