     13.646 Legislative and budget proposal data. 

    Subdivision 1.    Definition.  As used in this section, 
 "state administration" means the governor's office, the 
 department of finance, and any state agency that is under the 
 direct control of the governor. 

    Subd. 2.    Classifications.  Legislative and budget 
 proposals, including preliminary drafts, that are created, 
 collected, or maintained by the state administration are 
 protected nonpublic data.  After the budget is presented to the 
 legislature by the state administration, supporting data, 
 including agency requests, are public data.  Supporting data do 
 not include preliminary drafts.  The state administration may 
 disclose any of the data within the state administration and to 
 the public at any time if disclosure would aid the 
 administration in considering and preparing its proposals.
