CHAPTER 13. Government data practices

     13.01 Government data. 

    Subdivision 1.    Applicability.  All state agencies, 
 political subdivisions and statewide systems shall be governed 
 by this chapter.  

    Subd. 2.    Citation.  This chapter may be cited as the 
 "Minnesota Government Data Practices Act." 

    Subd. 3.    Scope.  This chapter regulates the 
 collection, creation, storage, maintenance, dissemination, and 
 access to government data in state agencies, statewide systems, 
 and political subdivisions.  It establishes a presumption that 
 government data are public and are accessible by the public for 
 both inspection and copying unless there is federal law, a state 
 statute, or a temporary classification of data that provides 
 that certain data are not public. 

    Subd. 4.    Headnotes.  The headnotes printed in 
 boldface type before paragraphs in this chapter are mere 
 catchwords to indicate the content of a paragraph and are not 
 part of the statute. 

    Subd. 5.    Provisions coded in other chapters.  (a) The 
 sections referenced in this chapter that are codified outside 
 this chapter classify government data as other than public, 
 place restrictions on access to government data, or involve data 
 sharing.  

    (b) Those sections are governed by the definitions and 
 general provisions in sections 13.01 to 13.07 and the remedies 
 and penalties provided in sections 13.08 and 13.09, except: 

    (1) for records of the judiciary, as provided in section 
 13.90; or 

    (2) as specifically provided otherwise by law.

     13.03 Access to government data. 

    Subdivision 1.    Public data.  All government data 
 collected, created, received, maintained or disseminated by a 
 state agency, political subdivision, or statewide system shall 
 be public unless classified by statute, or temporary 
 classification pursuant to section 13.06, or federal law, as 
 nonpublic or protected nonpublic, or with respect to data on 
 individuals, as private or confidential. The responsible 
 authority in every state agency, political subdivision and 
 statewide system shall keep records containing government data 
 in such an arrangement and condition as to make them easily 
 accessible for convenient use.  Photographic, photostatic, 
 microphotographic, or microfilmed records shall be considered as 
 accessible for convenient use regardless of the size of such 
 records. 

    Subd. 2.    Procedures.  (a) The responsible authority 
 in every state agency, political subdivision, and statewide 
 system shall establish procedures, consistent with this chapter, 
 to insure that requests for government data are received and 
 complied with in an appropriate and prompt manner. 

    (b) The responsible authority shall prepare public access 
 procedures in written form and update them no later than August 
 1 of each year as necessary to reflect any changes in personnel 
 or circumstances that might affect public access to government 
 data.  The responsible authority shall make copies of the 
 written public access procedures easily available to the public 
 by distributing free copies of the procedures to the public or 
 by posting a copy of the procedures in a conspicuous place 
 within the government entity that is easily accessible to the 
 public. 

    (c) Full convenience and comprehensive accessibility shall 
 be allowed to researchers including historians, genealogists and 
 other scholars to carry out extensive research and complete 
 copying of all records containing government data except as 
 otherwise expressly provided by law. 

    A responsible authority may designate one or more designees.

    Subd. 3.    Request for access to data.  (a) Upon 
 request to a responsible authority or designee, a person shall 
 be permitted to inspect and copy public government data at 
 reasonable times and places, and, upon request, shall be 
 informed of the data's meaning.  If a person requests access for 
 the purpose of inspection, the responsible authority may not 
 assess a charge or require the requesting person to pay a fee to 
 inspect data.  

    (b) For purposes of this section, "inspection" includes, 
 but is not limited to, the visual inspection of paper and 
 similar types of government data.  Inspection does not include 
 printing copies by the government entity, unless printing a copy 
 is the only method to provide for inspection of the data.  In 
 the case of data stored in electronic form and made available in 
 electronic form on a remote access basis to the public by the 
 government entity, inspection includes remote access to the data 
 by the public and the ability to print copies of or download the 
 data on the public's own computer equipment.  Nothing in this 
 section prohibits a government entity from charging a reasonable 
 fee for remote access to data under a specific statutory grant 
 of authority.  A government entity may charge a fee for remote 
 access to data where either the data or the access is enhanced 
 at the request of the person seeking access. 

    (c) The responsible authority or designee shall provide 
 copies of public data upon request.  If a person requests copies 
 or electronic transmittal of the data to the person, the 
 responsible authority may require the requesting person to pay 
 the actual costs of searching for and retrieving government 
 data, including the cost of employee time, and for making, 
 certifying, compiling, and electronically transmitting the 
 copies of the data or the data, but may not charge for 
 separating public from not public data.  If the responsible 
 authority or designee is not able to provide copies at the time 
 a request is made, copies shall be supplied as soon as 
 reasonably possible. 

    (d) When a request under this subdivision involves any 
 person's receipt of copies of public government data that has 
 commercial value and is a substantial and discrete portion of or 
 an entire formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, 
 method, technique, process, database, or system developed with a 
 significant expenditure of public funds by the agency, the 
 responsible authority may charge a reasonable fee for the 
 information in addition to the costs of making, certifying, and 
 compiling the copies.  Any fee charged must be clearly 
 demonstrated by the agency to relate to the actual development 
 costs of the information.  The responsible authority, upon the 
 request of any person, shall provide sufficient documentation to 
 explain and justify the fee being charged.  

    (e) The responsible authority of a state agency, statewide 
 system, or political subdivision that maintains public 
 government data in a computer storage medium shall provide to 
 any person making a request under this section a copy of any 
 public data contained in that medium, in electronic form, if the 
 government entity can reasonably make the copy or have a copy 
 made.  This does not require a government entity to provide the 
 data in an electronic format or program that is different from 
 the format or program in which the data are maintained by the 
 government entity.  The entity may require the requesting person 
 to pay the actual cost of providing the copy.  

    (f) If the responsible authority or designee determines 
 that the requested data is classified so as to deny the 
 requesting person access, the responsible authority or designee 
 shall inform the requesting person of the determination either 
 orally at the time of the request, or in writing as soon after 
 that time as possible, and shall cite the specific statutory 
 section, temporary classification, or specific provision of 
 federal law on which the determination is based.  Upon the 
 request of any person denied access to data, the responsible 
 authority or designee shall certify in writing that the request 
 has been denied and cite the specific statutory section, 
 temporary classification, or specific provision of federal law 
 upon which the denial was based.  

    Subd. 4.    Change in classification of data; effect of 
 dissemination among agencies.  (a) The classification of data 
 in the possession of an agency shall change if it is required to 
 do so to comply with either judicial or administrative rules 
 pertaining to the conduct of legal actions or with a specific 
 statute applicable to the data in the possession of the 
 disseminating or receiving agency. 

    (b) If data on individuals is classified as both private 
 and confidential by this chapter, or any other statute or 
 federal law, the data is private.  

    (c) To the extent that government data is disseminated to 
 state agencies, political subdivisions, or statewide systems by 
 another state agency, political subdivision, or statewide 
 system, the data disseminated shall have the same classification 
 in the hands of the agency receiving it as it had in the hands 
 of the entity providing it. 

    (d) If a state agency, statewide system, or political 
 subdivision disseminates data to another state agency, statewide 
 system, or political subdivision, a classification provided for 
 by law in the hands of the entity receiving the data does not 
 affect the classification of the data in the hands of the entity 
 that disseminates the data. 

    Subd. 5.    Copyright or patent of government data.  A 
 state agency, statewide system, or political subdivision may 
 enforce a copyright or acquire a patent for a computer software 
 program or components of a program created by that government 
 agency without statutory authority.  In the event that a 
 government agency acquires a patent to a computer software 
 program or component of a program, the data shall be treated as 
 trade secret information pursuant to section 13.37. 

    Subd. 6.    Discoverability of not public data.  If a 
 state agency, political subdivision, or statewide system opposes 
 discovery of government data or release of data pursuant to 
 court order on the grounds that the data are classified as not 
 public, the party that seeks access to the data may bring before 
 the appropriate presiding judicial officer, arbitrator, or 
 administrative law judge an action to compel discovery or an 
 action in the nature of an action to compel discovery.  

    The presiding officer shall first decide whether the data 
 are discoverable or releasable pursuant to the rules of evidence 
 and of criminal, civil, or administrative procedure appropriate 
 to the action.  

    If the data are discoverable the presiding officer shall 
 decide whether the benefit to the party seeking access to the 
 data outweighs any harm to the confidentiality interests of the 
 agency maintaining the data, or of any person who has provided 
 the data or who is the subject of the data, or to the privacy 
 interest of an individual identified in the data.  In making the 
 decision, the presiding officer shall consider whether notice to 
 the subject of the data is warranted and, if warranted, what 
 type of notice must be given.  The presiding officer may fashion 
 and issue any protective orders necessary to assure proper 
 handling of the data by the parties.  If the data are a 
 videotape of a child victim or alleged victim alleging, 
 explaining, denying, or describing an act of physical or sexual 
 abuse, the presiding officer shall consider the provisions of 
 section 611A.90, subdivision 2, paragraph (b).  

    Subd. 7.    Data transferred to archives.  When 
 government data that is classified as not public by this chapter 
 or any other statute, including private data on decedents and 
 confidential data on decedents, is physically transferred to the 
 state archives, the data shall no longer be classified as not 
 public and access to and use of the data shall be governed by 
 section 138.17.  

    Subd. 8.    Change to classification of data not on 
 individuals.  Except for security information, nonpublic and 
 protected nonpublic data shall become public either ten years 
 after the creation of the data by the government agency or ten 
 years after the data was received or collected by any 
 governmental agency unless the responsible authority for the 
 originating or custodial agency for the data reasonably 
 determines that, if the data were made available to the public 
 or to the data subject, the harm to the public or to a data 
 subject would outweigh the benefit to the public or to the data 
 subject.  If the responsible authority denies access to the 
 data, the person denied access may challenge the denial by 
 bringing an action in district court seeking release of the 
 data.  The action shall be brought in the district court located 
 in the county where the data are being maintained, or, in the 
 case of data maintained by a state agency, in any county.  The 
 data in dispute shall be examined by the court in camera.  In 
 deciding whether or not to release the data, the court shall 
 consider the benefits and harms in the same manner as set forth 
 above.  The court shall make a written statement of findings in 
 support of its decision.  

    Subd. 9.    Effect of changes in classification of data. 
  Unless otherwise expressly provided by a particular statute, 
 the classification of data is determined by the law applicable 
 to the data at the time a request for access to the data is 
 made, regardless of the data's classification at the time it was 
 collected, created, or received. 

    Subd. 10.    Costs for providing copies of data.  Money 
 collected by a responsible authority in a state agency for the 
 actual cost to the agency of providing copies or electronic 
 transmittal of government data is appropriated to the agency and 
 added to the appropriations from which the costs were paid. 

    Subd. 11.    Treatment of data classified as not public; 
 public meetings.  Not public data may be discussed at a 
 meeting open to the public to the extent provided in section 
 13D.05.

     13.04 Rights of subjects of data. 

    Subdivision 1.    Type of data.  The rights of 
 individuals on whom the data is stored or to be stored shall be 
 as set forth in this section. 

    Subd. 2.    Information required to be given individual. 
  An individual asked to supply private or confidential data 
 concerning the individual shall be informed of:  (a) the purpose 
 and intended use of the requested data within the collecting 
 state agency, political subdivision, or statewide system; (b) 
 whether the individual may refuse or is legally required to 
 supply the requested data; (c) any known consequence arising 
 from supplying or refusing to supply private or confidential 
 data; and (d) the identity of other persons or entities 
 authorized by state or federal law to receive the data.  This 
 requirement shall not apply when an individual is asked to 
 supply investigative data, pursuant to section 13.82, 
 subdivision 5, to a law enforcement officer. 

    Subd. 3.    Access to data by individual.  Upon request 
 to a responsible authority, an individual shall be informed 
 whether the individual is the subject of stored data on 
 individuals, and whether it is classified as public, private or 
 confidential.  Upon further request, an individual who is the 
 subject of stored private or public data on individuals shall be 
 shown the data without any charge and, if desired, shall be 
 informed of the content and meaning of that data.  After an 
 individual has been shown the private data and informed of its 
 meaning, the data need not be disclosed to that individual for 
 six months thereafter unless a dispute or action pursuant to 
 this section is pending or additional data on the individual has 
 been collected or created.  The responsible authority shall 
 provide copies of the private or public data upon request by the 
 individual subject of the data.  The responsible authority may 
 require the requesting person to pay the actual costs of making, 
 certifying, and compiling the copies. 

    The responsible authority shall comply immediately, if 
 possible, with any request made pursuant to this subdivision, or 
 within ten days of the date of the request, excluding Saturdays, 
 Sundays and legal holidays, if immediate compliance is not 
 possible.  

    Subd. 4.    Procedure when data is not accurate or 
 complete.  (a) An individual subject of the data may contest 
 the accuracy or completeness of public or private data.  To 
 exercise this right, an individual shall notify in writing the 
 responsible authority describing the nature of the 
 disagreement.  The responsible authority shall within 30 days 
 either:  (1) correct the data found to be inaccurate or 
 incomplete and attempt to notify past recipients of inaccurate 
 or incomplete data, including recipients named by the 
 individual; or (2) notify the individual that the authority 
 believes the data to be correct.  Data in dispute shall be 
 disclosed only if the individual's statement of disagreement is 
 included with the disclosed data. 

    The determination of the responsible authority may be 
 appealed pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative 
 Procedure Act relating to contested cases.  Upon receipt of an 
 appeal by an individual, the commissioner shall, before issuing 
 the order and notice of a contested case hearing required by 
 chapter 14, try to resolve the dispute through education, 
 conference, conciliation, or persuasion.  If the parties 
 consent, the commissioner may refer the matter to mediation.  
 Following these efforts, the commissioner shall dismiss the 
 appeal or issue the order and notice of hearing. 

    (b) Data on individuals that have been successfully 
 challenged by an individual must be completed, corrected, or 
 destroyed by a state agency, political subdivision, or statewide 
 system without regard to the requirements of section 138.17. 

    After completing, correcting, or destroying successfully 
 challenged data, a state agency, political subdivision, or 
 statewide system may retain a copy of the commissioner of 
 administration's order issued under chapter 14 or, if no order 
 were issued, a summary of the dispute between the parties that 
 does not contain any particulars of the successfully challenged 
 data. 

    Subd. 5.    Education records; child with a disability.  
 Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as limiting the 
 frequency of inspection of the educational records of a child 
 with a disability by the child's parent or guardian or by the 
 child upon the child reaching the age of majority.  An agency or 
 institution may not charge a fee to search for or to retrieve 
 the educational records.  An agency or institution that receives 
 a request for copies of the educational records of a child with 
 a disability may charge a fee that reflects the costs of 
 reproducing the records except when to do so would impair the 
 ability of the child's parent or guardian, or the child who has 
 reached the age of majority, to exercise their right to inspect 
 and review those records.

     13.05 Duties of responsible authority. 

    Subdivision 1.    Public document of data categories.  
 The responsible authority shall prepare a public document 
 containing the authority's name, title and address, and a 
 description of each category of record, file, or process 
 relating to private or confidential data on individuals 
 maintained by the authority's state agency, statewide system, or 
 political subdivision.  Forms used to collect private and 
 confidential data shall be included in the public document.  
 Beginning August 1, 1977 and annually thereafter, the 
 responsible authority shall update the public document and make 
 any changes necessary to maintain the accuracy of the document.  
 The document shall be available from the responsible authority 
 to the public in accordance with the provisions of sections 
 13.03 and 15.17. 

    Subd. 2.    Copies to commissioner.  The commissioner 
 may require responsible authorities to submit copies of the 
 public document required in subdivision 1, and may request 
 additional information relevant to data collection practices, 
 policies and procedures.  

    Subd. 3.    General standards for collection and storage. 
  Collection and storage of all data on individuals and the use 
 and dissemination of private and confidential data on 
 individuals shall be limited to that necessary for the 
 administration and management of programs specifically 
 authorized by the legislature or local governing body or 
 mandated by the federal government.  

    Subd. 4.    Limitations on collection and use of data.  
 Private or confidential data on an individual shall not be 
 collected, stored, used, or disseminated by political 
 subdivisions, statewide systems, or state agencies for any 
 purposes other than those stated to the individual at the time 
 of collection in accordance with section 13.04, except as 
 provided in this subdivision. 

    (a) Data collected prior to August 1, 1975, and which have 
 not been treated as public data, may be used, stored, and 
 disseminated for the purposes for which the data was originally 
 collected or for purposes which are specifically approved by the 
 commissioner as necessary to public health, safety, or welfare. 

    (b) Private or confidential data may be used and 
 disseminated to individuals or agencies specifically authorized 
 access to that data by state, local, or federal law enacted or 
 promulgated after the collection of the data. 

    (c) Private or confidential data may be used and 
 disseminated to individuals or agencies subsequent to the 
 collection of the data when the responsible authority 
 maintaining the data has requested approval for a new or 
 different use or dissemination of the data and that request has 
 been specifically approved by the commissioner as necessary to 
 carry out a function assigned by law. 

    (d) Private data may be used by and disseminated to any 
 person or agency if the individual subject or subjects of the 
 data have given their informed consent.  Whether a data subject 
 has given informed consent shall be determined by rules of the 
 commissioner.  Informed consent shall not be deemed to have been 
 given by an individual subject of the data by the signing of any 
 statement authorizing any person or agency to disclose 
 information about the individual to an insurer or its authorized 
 representative, unless the statement is: 

    (1) in plain language; 

    (2) dated; 

    (3) specific in designating the particular persons or 
 agencies the data subject is authorizing to disclose information 
 about the data subject; 

    (4) specific as to the nature of the information the 
 subject is authorizing to be disclosed; 

    (5) specific as to the persons or agencies to whom the 
 subject is authorizing information to be disclosed; 

    (6) specific as to the purpose or purposes for which the 
 information may be used by any of the parties named in clause 
 (5), both at the time of the disclosure and at any time in the 
 future; 

    (7) specific as to its expiration date which should be 
 within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed one year 
 except in the case of authorizations given in connection with 
 applications for life insurance or noncancelable or guaranteed 
 renewable health insurance and identified as such, two years 
 after the date of the policy. 

    The responsible authority may require a person requesting 
 copies of data under this paragraph to pay the actual costs of 
 making, certifying, and compiling the copies. 

    (e) Private or confidential data on an individual may be 
 discussed at a meeting open to the public to the extent provided 
 in section 13D.05. 

    Subd. 5.    Data protection.  The responsible authority 
 shall (1) establish procedures to assure that all data on 
 individuals is accurate, complete, and current for the purposes 
 for which it was collected; and (2) establish appropriate 
 security safeguards for all records containing data on 
 individuals.  

    Subd. 6.    Contracts.  Except as provided in section 
 13.46, subdivision 5, in any contract between a governmental 
 unit subject to this chapter and any person, when the contract 
 requires that data on individuals be made available to the 
 contracting parties by the governmental unit, that data shall be 
 administered consistent with this chapter.  A contracting party 
 shall maintain the data on individuals which it received 
 according to the statutory provisions applicable to the data. 

    Subd. 7.    Preparation of summary data.  The use of 
 summary data derived from private or confidential data on 
 individuals under the jurisdiction of one or more responsible 
 authorities is permitted.  Unless classified pursuant to section 
 13.06, another statute, or federal law, summary data is public.  
 The responsible authority shall prepare summary data from 
 private or confidential data on individuals upon the request of 
 any person if the request is in writing and the cost of 
 preparing the summary data is borne by the requesting person.  
 The responsible authority may delegate the power to prepare 
 summary data (1) to the administrative officer responsible for 
 any central repository of summary data; or (2) to a person 
 outside of its agency if the person's purpose is set forth, in 
 writing, and the person agrees not to disclose, and the agency 
 reasonably determines that the access will not compromise 
 private or confidential data on individuals. 

    Subd. 8.    Publication of access procedures.  The 
 responsible authority shall prepare a public document setting 
 forth in writing the rights of the data subject pursuant to 
 section 13.04 and the specific procedures in effect in the state 
 agency, statewide system or political subdivision for access by 
 the data subject to public or private data on individuals.  

    Subd. 9.    Intergovernmental access of data.  A 
 responsible authority shall allow another responsible authority 
 access to data classified as not public only when the access is 
 authorized or required by statute or federal law.  An agency 
 that supplies government data under this subdivision may require 
 the requesting agency to pay the actual cost of supplying the 
 data.  

    Subd. 10.    International dissemination.  No state 
 agency or political subdivision shall transfer or disseminate 
 any private or confidential data on individuals to the private 
 international organization known as Interpol, except through the 
 Interpol-United States National Central Bureau, United States 
 Department of Justice.  

    Subd. 11.    Privatization.  (a) If a government entity 
 enters into a contract with a private person to perform any of 
 its functions, the government entity shall include in the 
 contract terms that make it clear that all of the data created, 
 collected, received, stored, used, maintained, or disseminated 
 by the private person in performing those functions is subject 
 to the requirements of this chapter and that the private person 
 must comply with those requirements as if it were a government 
 entity.  The remedies in section 13.08 apply to the private 
 person under this subdivision. 

    (b) This subdivision does not create a duty on the part of 
 the private person to provide access to public data to the 
 public if the public data are available from the government 
 entity, except as required by the terms of the contract. 

    Subd. 12.    Identification or justification.  Unless 
 specifically authorized by statute, government entities may not 
 require persons to identify themselves, state a reason for, or 
 justify a request to gain access to public government data.  A 
 person may be asked to provide certain identifying or clarifying 
 information for the sole purpose of facilitating access to the 
 data. 

    Subd. 13.    Data practices compliance official.  By 
 December 1, 2000, each responsible authority or other 
 appropriate authority in every government entity shall appoint 
 or designate an employee of the government entity to act as the 
 entity's data practices compliance official.  The data practices 
 compliance official is the designated employee of the government 
 entity to whom persons may direct questions or concerns 
 regarding problems in obtaining access to data or other data 
 practices problems.  The responsible authority may be the data 
 practices compliance official.

     13.06 Temporary classification. 

    Subdivision 1.    Application to commissioner.  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of section 13.03, the responsible 
 authority of a state agency, political subdivision, or statewide 
 system may apply to the commissioner for permission to classify 
 data or types of data on individuals as private or confidential, 
 or data not on individuals as nonpublic or protected nonpublic, 
 for its own use and for the use of other similar agencies, 
 political subdivisions, or statewide systems on a temporary 
 basis until a proposed statute can be acted upon by the 
 legislature.  The application for temporary classification is 
 public. 

    Upon the filing of an application for temporary 
 classification, the data which is the subject of the application 
 shall be deemed to be classified as set forth in the application 
 for a period of 45 days, or until the application is 
 disapproved, rejected, or granted by the commissioner, whichever 
 is earlier. 

    If the commissioner determines that an application has been 
 submitted for purposes not consistent with this section, the 
 commissioner may immediately reject the application, give notice 
 of that rejection to the applicant, and return the application. 
 When the applicant receives the notice of rejection from the 
 commissioner, the data which was the subject of the application 
 shall have the classification it had before the application was 
 submitted to the commissioner.  

    Subd. 2.    Contents of application for private or 
 confidential data.  An application for temporary 
 classification of data on individuals shall include and the 
 applicant shall have the burden of clearly establishing that no 
 statute currently exists which either allows or forbids 
 classification as private or confidential; and either 

    (a) That data similar to that for which the temporary 
 classification is sought has been treated as either private or 
 confidential by other state agencies or political subdivisions, 
 and by the public; or 

    (b) That a compelling need exists for immediate temporary 
 classification, which if not granted could adversely affect the 
 public interest or the health, safety, well being or reputation 
 of the data subject. 

    Subd. 3.    Contents of application for nonpublic or 
 nonpublic protected data.  An application for temporary 
 classification of government data not on individuals shall 
 include and the applicant shall have the burden of clearly 
 establishing that no statute currently exists which either 
 allows or forbids classification as nonpublic or protected 
 nonpublic; and either 

    (a) That data similar to that for which the temporary 
 classification is sought has been treated as nonpublic or 
 protected nonpublic by other state agencies or political 
 subdivisions, and by the public; or 

    (b) Public access to the data would render unworkable a 
 program authorized by law; or 

    (c) That a compelling need exists for immediate temporary 
 classification, which if not granted could adversely affect the 
 health, safety or welfare of the public. 

    Subd. 4.    Procedure when classification affects others. 
  If the commissioner determines that an application for 
 temporary classification involves data which would reasonably be 
 classified in the same manner by all agencies, political 
 subdivisions, or statewide systems similar to the one which made 
 the application, the commissioner may approve or disapprove the 
 classification for data of the kind which is the subject of the 
 application for the use of all agencies, political subdivisions, 
 or statewide systems similar to the applicant.  On deeming this 
 approach advisable, the commissioner shall provide notice of the 
 proposed action by publication in the state register and by 
 notification to the intergovernmental information systems 
 advisory council, within ten days of receiving the application.  
 Within 30 days after publication in the state register and 
 notification to the council, an affected agency, political 
 subdivision, the public, or statewide system may submit comments 
 on the commissioner's proposal.  The commissioner shall consider 
 any comments received when granting or denying a classification 
 for data of the kind which is the subject of the application, 
 for the use of all agencies, political subdivisions, or 
 statewide systems similar to the applicant.  Within 45 days 
 after the close of the period for submitting comment, the 
 commissioner shall grant or disapprove the application.  
 Applications processed under this subdivision shall be either 
 approved or disapproved by the commissioner within 90 days of 
 the receipt of the application.  For purposes of subdivision 1, 
 the data which is the subject of the classification shall be 
 deemed to be classified as set forth in the application for a 
 period of 90 days, or until the application is disapproved or 
 granted by the commissioner, whichever is earlier.  If requested 
 in the application, or determined to be necessary by the 
 commissioner, the data in the application shall be so classified 
 for all agencies, political subdivisions, or statewide systems 
 similar to the applicant until the application is disapproved or 
 granted by the commissioner, whichever is earlier.  Proceedings 
 after the grant or disapproval shall be governed by the 
 provisions of subdivision 5.  

    Subd. 5.    Determination.  The commissioner shall 
 either grant or disapprove the application for temporary 
 classification within 45 days after it is filed.  On 
 disapproving an application, the commissioner shall set forth in 
 detail reasons for the disapproval, and shall include a 
 statement of belief as to what classification is appropriate for 
 the data which is the subject of the application.  Twenty days 
 after the date of the commissioner's disapproval of an 
 application, the data which is the subject of the application 
 shall become public data, unless the responsible authority 
 submits an amended application for temporary classification 
 which requests the classification deemed appropriate by the 
 commissioner in the statement of disapproval or which sets forth 
 additional information relating to the original proposed 
 classification.  Upon the filing of an amended application, the 
 data which is the subject of the amended application shall be 
 deemed to be classified as set forth in the amended application 
 for a period of 20 days or until the amended application is 
 granted or disapproved by the commissioner, whichever is 
 earlier.  The commissioner shall either grant or disapprove the 
 amended application within 20 days after it is filed.  Five 
 working days after the date of the commissioner's disapproval of 
 the amended application, the data which is the subject of the 
 application shall become public data.  No more than one amended 
 application may be submitted for any single file or system. 

    If the commissioner grants an application for temporary 
 classification, it shall become effective immediately, and the 
 complete record relating to the application shall be submitted 
 to the attorney general, who shall review the classification as 
 to form and legality.  Within 25 days, the attorney general 
 shall approve the classification, disapprove a classification as 
 confidential but approve a classification as private, or 
 disapprove the classification.  If the attorney general 
 disapproves a classification, the data which is the subject of 
 the classification shall become public data five working days 
 after the date of the attorney general's disapproval.

    Subd. 7.    Legislative consideration of temporary 
 classifications; expiration.  On or before January 15 of each 
 year, the commissioner shall submit all temporary 
 classifications in effect on January 1 in bill form to the 
 legislature.  The temporary classification expires June 1 of the 
 year following its submission to the legislature.

     13.07 Duties of the commissioner. 

    The commissioner shall with the advice of the 
 intergovernmental information services advisory council 
 promulgate rules, in accordance with the rulemaking procedures 
 in the Administrative Procedure Act which shall apply to state 
 agencies, statewide systems and political subdivisions to 
 implement the enforcement and administration of this chapter.  
 The rules shall not affect section 13.04, relating to rights of 
 subjects of data.  Prior to the adoption of rules authorized by 
 this section the commissioner shall give notice to all state 
 agencies and political subdivisions in the same manner and in 
 addition to other parties as required by section 14.06 of the 
 date and place of hearing, enclosing a copy of the rules to be 
 adopted.

     13.072 Opinions by the commissioner. 

    Subdivision 1.    Opinion; when required.  (a) Upon 
 request of a state agency, statewide system, or political 
 subdivision, the commissioner may give a written opinion on any 
 question relating to public access to government data, rights of 
 subjects of data, or classification of data under this chapter 
 or other Minnesota statutes governing government data 
 practices.  Upon request of any person who disagrees with a 
 determination regarding data practices made by a state agency, 
 statewide system, or political subdivision, the commissioner may 
 give a written opinion regarding the person's rights as a 
 subject of government data or right to have access to government 
 data.  If the commissioner determines that no opinion will be 
 issued, the commissioner shall give the state agency, statewide 
 system, political subdivision, or person requesting the opinion 
 notice of the decision not to issue the opinion within five days 
 of receipt of the request.  If this notice is not given, the 
 commissioner shall issue an opinion within 20 days of receipt of 
 the request.  For good cause and upon written notice to the 
 person requesting the opinion, the commissioner may extend this 
 deadline for one additional 30-day period.  The notice must 
 state the reason for extending the deadline.  The state agency, 
 statewide system, or political subdivision must be provided a 
 reasonable opportunity to explain the reasons for its decision 
 regarding the data.  The commissioner or the state agency, 
 statewide system, or political subdivision may choose to give 
 notice to the subject of the data concerning the dispute 
 regarding the data. 

    (b) This section does not apply to a determination made by 
 the commissioner of health under section 13.3805, subdivision 1, 
 paragraph (b), or 144.6581. 

    (c) A written opinion issued by the attorney general shall 
 take precedence over an opinion issued by the commissioner under 
 this section. 

    Subd. 2.    Effect.  Opinions issued by the commissioner 
 under this section are not binding on the state agency, 
 statewide system, or political subdivision whose data is the 
 subject of the opinion, but must be given deference by a court 
 in a proceeding involving the data.  The commissioner shall 
 arrange for public dissemination of opinions issued under this 
 section.  This section does not preclude a person from bringing 
 any other action under this chapter or other law in addition to 
 or instead of requesting a written opinion.  A state agency, 
 statewide system, political subdivision, or person that acts in 
 conformity with a written opinion of the commissioner is not 
 liable for compensatory or exemplary damages or awards of 
 attorneys fees in actions under section 13.08 or for a penalty 
 under section 13.09. 

    Subd. 3. Repealed, 1Sp1997 c 3 s 47 

    Subd. 4.    Data submitted to commissioner.  A state 
 agency, statewide system, or political subdivision may submit 
 not public data to the commissioner for the purpose of 
 requesting or responding to a person's request for an opinion.  
 Government data submitted to the commissioner by a state agency, 
 statewide system, or political subdivision or copies of 
 government data submitted by other persons have the same 
 classification as the data have when held by the state agency, 
 statewide system, or political subdivision.  If the nature of 
 the opinion is such that the release of the opinion would reveal 
 not public data, the commissioner may issue an opinion using 
 pseudonyms for individuals.  Data maintained by the 
 commissioner, in the record of an opinion issued using 
 pseudonyms that would reveal the identities of individuals 
 protected by the use of the pseudonyms, are private data on 
 individuals.

     13.073 Public information policy training program. 

    Subdivision 1.    Establishment.  The commissioner may 
 establish a program for training state and local government 
 officials and employees on public information policy, including 
 government data practices laws and official records and records 
 management statutes.  The program may provide for the 
 development of broad-based expertise within state and local 
 government entities.  The program components may include basic 
 training, specific training for specialized service sectors, and 
 policy analysis and support. 

    Subd. 2.    General provisions.  The commissioner may 
 publicize the development and implementation of the training 
 program under this section and seek input from state and local 
 government entities.  The commissioner may prepare a training 
 guide that includes an overview of the training program and its 
 components. 

    Subd. 3.    Basic training.  The basic training 
 component should be designed to meet the basic information 
 policy needs of all government employees and public officials 
 with a focus on key data practices laws and procedures that 
 apply to all government entities.  The commissioner should 
 design the basic training component in a manner that minimizes 
 duplication of the effort and cost for government entities to 
 provide basic training.  The commissioner may develop general 
 programs and materials for basic training such as video 
 presentations, data practices booklets, and training guides.  
 The commissioner may assist state and local government agencies 
 in developing training expertise within their own agencies and 
 offer assistance for periodic training sessions for this purpose.

    Subd. 4.    Sector-specific training.  (a) The 
 sector-specific training component should be designed to provide 
 for the development of specific expertise needed to deal with 
 information policy issues within a particular service area.  
 Service areas may include government entities such as state 
 agencies, counties, cities, or school districts, or functional 
 areas such as education, human services, child protection, or 
 law enforcement.  This component should focus on training 
 individuals who implement or administer data practices and other 
 information policy laws within their government entity. 

    (b) The commissioner may provide technical assistance and 
 support and help coordinate efforts to develop sector-specific 
 training within different sectors.  Elements of sector-specific 
 training should include: 

    (1) designation, training, and coordination of data 
 practices specialists with responsibility for clarification and 
 resolution of sector-specific information policy issues; 

    (2) development of telephone hot lines within different 
 sectors for handling information policy inquiries; 

    (3) development of forums under which individuals with 
 ongoing information policy administrative responsibilities may 
 meet to discuss issues arising within their sectors; 

    (4) availability of expertise for coaching and consultation 
 on specific issues; and 

    (5) preparation of publications, including reference guides 
 to materials and resource persons. 

    Subd. 5.    Policy analysis and support.  The policy 
 analysis and support component should be designed to address 
 information policy issues at the policy level and to provide 
 ongoing consultation and support regarding major areas of 
 concern with a goal of developing a coherent and coordinated 
 approach to information policy within the state.  The 
 commissioner may assist in the development and implementation of 
 information policy and provide a clearinghouse for ideas, 
 information, and resources.  The commissioner may review public 
 information policy and identify how that policy can be updated, 
 simplified, and made consistent. 

    Subd. 6.    Preparation of model policies and procedures. 
  The commissioner shall, in consultation with affected 
 government entities, prepare model policies and procedures to 
 assist government entities in complying with the requirements of 
 this chapter that relate to public access to government data and 
 rights of subjects of data.  Upon completion of a model for a 
 governmental level, the commissioner shall offer that model for 
 formal adoption by that level of government.  Government 
 entities may adopt or reject the model offered by the 
 commissioner.  A government entity that adopts the 
 commissioner's model shall notify the commissioner in a form 
 prescribed by the commissioner.

     13.08 Civil remedies. 

    Subdivision 1.    Action for damages.  Notwithstanding 
 section 466.03, a political subdivision, responsible authority, 
 statewide system, or state agency which violates any provision 
 of this chapter is liable to a person or representative of a 
 decedent who suffers any damage as a result of the violation, 
 and the person damaged or a representative in the case of 
 private data on decedents or confidential data on decedents may 
 bring an action against the political subdivision, responsible 
 authority, statewide system or state agency to cover any damages 
 sustained, plus costs and reasonable attorney fees.  In the case 
 of a willful violation, the political subdivision, statewide 
 system or state agency shall, in addition, be liable to 
 exemplary damages of not less than $100, nor more than $10,000 
 for each violation.  The state is deemed to have waived any 
 immunity to a cause of action brought under this chapter. 

    Subd. 2.    Injunction.  A political subdivision, 
 responsible authority, statewide system or state agency which 
 violates or proposes to violate this chapter may be enjoined by 
 the district court.  The court may make any order or judgment as 
 may be necessary to prevent the use or employment by any person 
 of any practices which violate this chapter. 

    Subd. 3.    Venue.  An action filed pursuant to this 
 section may be commenced in the county in which the individual 
 alleging damage or seeking relief resides, or in the county 
 wherein the political subdivision exists, or, in the case of the 
 state, any county. 

    Subd. 4.    Action to compel compliance.  (a) In 
 addition to the remedies provided in subdivisions 1 to 3 or any 
 other law, any aggrieved person seeking to enforce the person's 
 rights under this chapter or obtain access to data may bring an 
 action in district court to compel compliance with this chapter 
 and may recover costs and disbursements, including reasonable 
 attorney's fees, as determined by the court.  If the court 
 determines that an action brought under this subdivision is 
 frivolous and without merit and a basis in fact, it may award 
 reasonable costs and attorney fees to the responsible 
 authority.  If the court issues an order to compel compliance 
 under this subdivision, the court may impose a civil penalty of 
 up to $300 against the government entity.  This penalty is 
 payable to the state general fund and is in addition to damages 
 under subdivision 1.  The matter shall be heard as soon as 
 possible.  In an action involving a request for government data 
 under section 13.03 or 13.04, the court may inspect in camera 
 the government data in dispute, but shall conduct its hearing in 
 public and in a manner that protects the security of data 
 classified as not public.  If the court issues an order to 
 compel compliance under this subdivision, the court shall 
 forward a copy of the order to the commissioner of 
 administration. 

    (b) In determining whether to assess a civil penalty under 
 this subdivision, the court shall consider whether the 
 government entity has substantially complied with general data 
 practices under this chapter, including but not limited to, 
 whether the government entity has:  

    (1) designated a responsible authority under section 13.02, 
 subdivision 16; 

    (2) designated a data practices compliance official under 
 section 13.05, subdivision 13; 

    (3) prepared the public document that names the responsible 
 authority and describes the records and data on individuals that 
 are maintained by the government entity under section 13.05, 
 subdivision 1; 

    (4) developed public access procedures under section 13.03, 
 subdivision 2; procedures to guarantee the rights of data 
 subjects under section 13.05, subdivision 8; and procedures to 
 ensure that data on individuals are accurate and complete and to 
 safeguard the data's security under section 13.05, subdivision 
 5; 

    (5) sought an oral, written, or electronic opinion from the 
 commissioner of administration related to the matter at issue 
 and acted in conformity with that opinion or an opinion sought 
 by another person; or 

    (6) provided ongoing training to government entity 
 personnel who respond to requests under this chapter. 

    Subd. 5.    Immunity from liability.  A state agency, 
 statewide system, political subdivision, or person that releases 
 not public data pursuant to an order under section 13.03, 
 subdivision 6 is immune from civil and criminal liability.  

    Subd. 6.    Immunity from liability; personnel settlement. 
  No cause of action may arise as a result of the release of 
 data contained in a termination or personnel settlement 
 agreement if the data were not public data as defined in section 
 13.02, at the time the agreement was executed but become public 
 data under a law enacted after execution.

     13.081 Administrative remedies. 

    Subdivision 1.    Complaints.  Any person who believes 
 that a government entity is not in compliance with this chapter 
 may file a complaint with the commissioner.  The commissioner 
 shall specify the form of the complaint.  The commissioner shall 
 conduct an investigation to determine whether the complaint is 
 valid or whether another alternative dispute resolution process 
 exists to address the issue presented.  If the commissioner 
 determines the complaint is not valid or another alternative 
 dispute resolution process is a more appropriate forum for 
 resolving the dispute, the commissioner shall dismiss the 
 complaint and so inform the person who filed the complaint and 
 the government entity that was the subject of the complaint.  If 
 the commissioner determines the complaint is valid, the 
 commissioner may take any of the actions under subdivision 2 to 
 resolve the complaint.  The commissioner shall either dismiss 
 the complaint or refer it for one of the actions under 
 subdivision 2 within 20 days of receipt of the complaint.  For 
 good cause and upon written notice to the person bringing the 
 complaint, the commissioner may extend this deadline for one 
 additional 30-day period.

     13.10 Data on decedents. 

    Subdivision 1.    Definitions.  As used in this chapter: 

    (a) "Confidential data on decedents" means data which, 
 prior to the death of the data subject, were classified by 
 statute, federal law, or temporary classification as 
 confidential data.  

    (b) "Private data on decedents" means data which, prior to 
 the death of the data subject, were classified by statute, 
 federal law, or temporary classification as private data.  

    (c) "Representative of the decedent" means the personal 
 representative of the estate of the decedent during the period 
 of administration, or if no personal representative has been 
 appointed or after discharge, the surviving spouse, any child of 
 the decedent, or, if there is no surviving spouse or children, 
 the parents of the decedent.  

    Subd. 2.    Classification of data on decedents.  Upon 
 the death of the data subject, private data and confidential 
 data shall become, respectively, private data on decedents and 
 confidential data on decedents.  Private data on decedents and 
 confidential data on decedents shall become public when ten 
 years have elapsed from the actual or presumed death of the 
 individual and 30 years have elapsed from the creation of the 
 data.  For purposes of this subdivision, an individual is 
 presumed to be dead if either 90 years elapsed since the 
 creation of the data or 90 years have elapsed since the 
 individual's birth, whichever is earlier, except that an 
 individual is not presumed to be dead if readily available data 
 indicate that the individual is still living. 

    Subd. 3.    Rights.  Rights conferred by this chapter on 
 individuals who are the subjects of private or confidential data 
 shall, in the case of private data on decedents or confidential 
 data on decedents, be exercised by the representative of the 
 decedent.  Nonpublic data concerning a decedent, created or 
 collected after death, are accessible by the representative of 
 the decedent.  Nothing in this section may be construed to 
 prevent access to appropriate data by a trustee appointed in a 
 wrongful death action.  

    Subd. 4.    Court review.  Any person may bring an 
 action in the district court located in the county where the 
 data is being maintained or, in the case of data maintained by a 
 state agency, in any county, to authorize release of private 
 data on decedents or confidential data on decedents.  
 Individuals clearly identified in the data or the representative 
 of the decedent may be given notice if doing so does not cause 
 an undue delay in hearing the matter and, in any event, shall 
 have standing in the court action.  The responsible authority 
 for the data being sought or any interested person may provide 
 information regarding the possible harm or benefit from granting 
 the request.  The data in dispute shall be examined by the court 
 in camera.  The court may order all or part of the data to be 
 released to the public or to the person bringing the action.  In 
 deciding whether or not to release the data, the court shall 
 consider whether the harm to the surviving spouse, children, or 
 next of kin of the decedent, the harm to any other individual 
 identified in the data, or the harm to the public outweighs the 
 benefit to the person bringing the action or the benefit of the 
 public.  The court shall make a written statement of findings in 
 support of its decision.  

    Subd. 5.    Adoption records.  Notwithstanding any 
 provision of this chapter, adoption records shall be treated as 
 provided in sections 259.53, 259.61, 259.79, and 259.83 to 
 259.89. 

    Subd. 6.    Retention of data.  Nothing in this section 
 may be construed to require retention of government data, 
 including private data on decedents or confidential data on 
 decedents, for periods of time other than those established by 
 the procedures provided in section 138.17, or any other statute.

 subdivision, or statewide system determines that the access will 
 aid the law enforcement process, promote public health or safety

 be released to the public or to the person bringing the action.

 court shall consider whether the benefit to the person bringing 
 the action or to the public outweighs any harm to the public, 
 the agency, or any person identified in the data.  The data in 
 dispute shall be examined by the court in camera. 

    Subd. 3.    Inactive investigative data.  Inactive civil 
 investigative data are public, unless the release of the data 
 would jeopardize another pending civil legal action, and except 
 for those portions of a civil investigative file that are 
 classified as not public data by this chapter or other law.  Any 
 civil investigative data presented as evidence in court or made 
 part of a court record shall be public.  Civil investigative 
 data become inactive upon the occurrence of any of the following 
 events:  

    (1) a decision by the state agency, political subdivision, 
 or statewide system or by the chief attorney acting for the 
 state agency, political subdivision, or statewide system not to 
 pursue the civil action; 

    (2) expiration of the time to file a complaint under the 
 statute of limitations or agreement applicable to the civil 
 action; or 

    (3) exhaustion of or expiration of rights of appeal by 
 either party to the civil action.  

    Data determined to be inactive under clause (1) may become 
 active if the state agency, political subdivision, statewide 
 system, or its attorney decides to renew the civil action.

 supplied was needed for an audit or investigation and would not 
 have been provided to the internal audit office or person 
 performing audits without an assurance to the individual that 
 the individual's identity would remain private.

     13.43 Personnel data. 

    Subdivision 1.    Definition.  As used in this section, 
 "personnel data" means data on individuals collected because the 
 individual is or was an employee of or an applicant for 
 employment by, performs services on a voluntary basis for, or 
 acts as an independent contractor with a state agency, statewide 
 system or political subdivision or is a member of or an 
 applicant for an advisory board or commission. 

    Subd. 2.    Public data.  (a) Except for employees

 education and training background; and previous work experience; 

    (3) date of first and last employment;

 against the employee, regardless of whether the complaint or 
 charge resulted in a disciplinary action; 

    (5) the final disposition of any disciplinary action

 would reveal the employee's reasons for the use of sick or other 
 medical leave or other not public data; and city and county of 
 residence. 

    (b) For purposes of this subdivision, a final disposition 
 occurs when the state agency, statewide system, or political 
 subdivision makes its final decision about the disciplinary 
 action, regardless of the possibility of any later proceedings 
 or court proceedings.  In the case of arbitration proceedings 
 arising under collective bargaining agreements, a final 
 disposition occurs at the conclusion of the arbitration 
 proceedings, or upon the failure of the employee to elect 
 arbitration within the time provided by the collective 
 bargaining agreement.  Final disposition includes a resignation 
 by an individual when the resignation occurs after the final 
 decision of the state agency, statewide system, political 
 subdivision, or arbitrator.

 completion of an investigation of a complaint or charge against 
 a public official, or if a public official resigns or is 
 terminated from employment while the complaint or charge is 
 pending, all data relating to the complaint or charge are 
 public, unless access to the data would jeopardize an active 
 investigation or reveal confidential sources.  For purposes of 
 this paragraph, "public official" means: 

    (1) the head of a state agency and deputy and assistant 
 state agency heads; 

    (2) members of boards or commissions required by law to be 
 appointed by the governor or other elective officers; and 

    (3) executive or administrative heads of departments, 
 bureaus, divisions, or institutions.

 education and training; and work availability.  Names of 
 applicants shall be private data except when certified as 
 eligible for appointment to a vacancy or when applicants are 
 considered by the appointing authority to be finalists for a 
 position in public employment.  For purposes of this 
 subdivision, "finalist" means an individual who is selected to 
 be interviewed by the appointing authority prior to selection.  
 Names and home addresses of applicants for appointment to and 
 members of an advisory board or commission are public. 

    Subd. 4.    Other data.  All other personnel data is 
 private data on individuals but may be released pursuant to a 
 court order.  

    Subd. 5.    Undercover law enforcement officer.  All 
 personnel data maintained by any state agency, statewide system 
 or political subdivision relating to an individual employed as 
 or an applicant for employment as an undercover law enforcement 
 officer are private data on individuals.  When the individual is 
 no longer assigned to an undercover position, the data described 
 in subdivisions 2 and 3 become public unless the law enforcement 
 agency determines that revealing the data would threaten the 
 personal safety of the officer or jeopardize an active 
 investigation.  

    Subd. 6.    Access by labor organizations.  Personnel 
 data may be disseminated to labor organizations to the extent 
 that the responsible authority determines that the dissemination 
 is necessary to conduct elections, notify employees of fair 
 share fee assessments, and implement the provisions of chapters 
 179 and 179A.  Personnel data shall be disseminated to labor 
 organizations and to the bureau of mediation services to the 
 extent the dissemination is ordered or authorized by the 
 commissioner of the bureau of mediation services.  

    Subd. 7.    Employee assistance data.  All data created, 
 collected or maintained by any state agency or political 
 subdivision to administer employee assistance programs similar 
 to the one authorized by section 43A.319 are classified as 
 private, pursuant to section 13.02, subdivision 12.  This 
 section shall not be interpreted to authorize the establishment 
 of employee assistance programs.  

    Subd. 8.    Harassment data.  When allegations of sexual 
 or other types of harassment are made against an employee, the 
 employee does not have access to data that would identify the 
 complainant or other witnesses if the responsible authority 
 determines that the employee's access to that data would: 

    (1) threaten the personal safety of the complainant or a 
 witness; or 

    (2) subject the complainant or witness to harassment. 

    If a disciplinary proceeding is initiated against the

 collected or created by a law enforcement agency in order to 
 prepare a case against a person, whether known or unknown, for 
 the commission of a crime or other offense for which the agency 
 has primary investigative responsibility is confidential or 
 protected nonpublic while the investigation is active.  Inactive 
 investigative data is public unless the release of the data 
 would jeopardize another ongoing investigation or would reveal 
 the identity of individuals protected under subdivision 17.  
 Photographs which are part of inactive investigative files and 
 which are clearly offensive to common sensibilities are 
 classified as private or nonpublic data, provided that the 
 existence of the photographs shall be disclosed to any person 
 requesting access to the inactive investigative file.  An 
 investigation becomes inactive upon the occurrence of any of the 
 following events:  

    (a) a decision by the agency or appropriate prosecutorial 
 authority not to pursue the case; 

    (b) expiration of the time to bring a charge or file a 
 complaint under the applicable statute of limitations, or 30 
 years after the commission of the offense, whichever comes 
 earliest; or 

    (c) exhaustion of or expiration of all rights of appeal by 
 a person convicted on the basis of the investigative data.  

    Any investigative data presented as evidence in court shall 
 be public.  Data determined to be inactive under clause (a) may 
 become active if the agency or appropriate prosecutorial 
 authority decides to renew the investigation.  

    During the time when an investigation is active, any person 
 may bring an action in the district court located in the county 
 where the data is being maintained to authorize disclosure of 
 investigative data.  The court may order that all or part of the 
 data relating to a particular investigation be released to the 
 public or to the person bringing the action.  In making the 
 determination as to whether investigative data shall be 
 disclosed, 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 agency or to any person identified in the 
 data.  The data in dispute shall be examined by the court in 
 camera.  

    Subd. 8.    Child abuse identity data.  Active or 
 inactive investigative data that identify a victim of child 
 abuse or neglect reported under section 626.556 are private data 
 on individuals.  Active or inactive investigative data that 
 identify a reporter of child abuse or neglect under section 
 626.556 are confidential data on individuals, unless the subject 
 of the report compels disclosure under section 626.556, 
 subdivision 11. 

    Subd. 9.    Inactive child abuse data.  Investigative 
 data that become inactive under subdivision 7, clause (a) or 
 (b), and that relate to the alleged abuse or neglect of a child 
 by a person responsible for the child's care, as defined in 
 section 626.556, subdivision 2, are private data. 

    Subd. 10.    Vulnerable adult identity data.  Active or 
 inactive investigative data that identify a victim of vulnerable 
 adult maltreatment under section 626.557 are private data on 
 individuals.  Active or inactive investigative data that 
 identify a reporter of vulnerable adult maltreatment under 
 section 626.557 are private data on individuals. 

    Subd. 11.    Inactive vulnerable adult maltreatment data. 
  Investigative data that becomes inactive under subdivision 7, 
 paragraph (a) or (b), and that relate to the alleged 
 maltreatment of a vulnerable adult by a caregiver or facility 
 are private data on individuals. 

    Subd. 12.    Name change data.  Data on court records 
 relating to name changes under section 259.10, subdivision 2, 
 which is held by a law enforcement agency is confidential data 
 on an individual while an investigation is active and is private 
 data on an individual when the investigation becomes inactive. 

    Subd. 13.    Access to data for crime victims.  On 
 receipt of a written request, the prosecuting authority shall 
 release investigative data collected by a law enforcement agency 
 to the victim of a criminal act or alleged criminal act or to 
 the victim's legal representative unless the release to the 
 individual subject of the data would be prohibited under section 
 13.821 or the prosecuting authority reasonably believes:  

    (a) that the release of that data will interfere with the 
 investigation; or 

    (b) that the request is prompted by a desire on the part of 
 the requester to engage in unlawful activities.  

    Subd. 14.    Withholding public data.  A law enforcement 
 agency may temporarily withhold response or incident data from 
 public access if the agency reasonably believes that public 
 access would be likely to endanger the physical safety of an 
 individual or cause a perpetrator to flee, evade detection or 
 destroy evidence.  In such instances, the agency shall, upon the 
 request of any person, provide a statement which explains the 
 necessity for its action.  Any person may apply to a district 
 court for an order requiring the agency to release the data 
 being withheld.  If the court determines that the agency's 
 action is not reasonable, it shall order the release of the data 
 and may award costs and attorney's fees to the person who sought 
 the order.  The data in dispute shall be examined by the court 
 in camera.  

    Subd. 15.    Public benefit data.  Any law enforcement 
 agency may make any data classified as confidential or protected 
 nonpublic pursuant to subdivision 7 accessible to any person, 
 agency, or the public if the agency determines that the access 
 will aid the law enforcement process, promote public safety, or 
 dispel widespread rumor or unrest.  

    Subd. 16.    Public access.  When data is classified as 
 public under this section, a law enforcement agency shall not be 
 required to make the actual physical data available to the 
 public if it is not administratively feasible to segregate the 
 public data from the confidential.  However, the agency must 
 make the information described as public data available to the 
 public in a reasonable manner.  When investigative data becomes 
 inactive, as described in subdivision 7, the actual physical 
 data associated with that investigation, including the public 
 data, shall be available for public access.  

    Subd. 17.    Protection of identities.  A law 
 enforcement agency or a law enforcement dispatching agency 
 working under direction of a law enforcement agency shall 
 withhold public access to data on individuals to protect the 
 identity of individuals in the following circumstances: 

    (a) when access to the data would reveal the identity of an 
 undercover law enforcement officer, as provided in section 
 13.43, subdivision 5; 

    (b) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
 victim or alleged victim of criminal sexual conduct or of a 
 violation of section 617.246, subdivision 2; 

    (c) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
 paid or unpaid informant being used by the agency if the agency 
 reasonably determines that revealing the identity of the 
 informant would threaten the personal safety of the informant; 

    (d) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
 victim of or witness to a crime if the victim or witness 
 specifically requests not to be identified publicly, unless the 
 agency reasonably determines that revealing the identity of the 
 victim or witness would not threaten the personal safety or 
 property of the individual; 

    (e) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
 deceased person whose body was unlawfully removed from a 
 cemetery in which it was interred; 

    (f) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
 person who placed a call to a 911 system or the identity or 
 telephone number of a service subscriber whose phone is used to 
 place a call to the 911 system and:  (1) the agency determines 
 that revealing the identity may threaten the personal safety or 
 property of any person; or (2) the object of the call is to 
 receive help in a mental health emergency.  For the purposes of 
 this paragraph, a voice recording of a call placed to the 911 
 system is deemed to reveal the identity of the caller; 

    (g) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
 juvenile witness and the agency reasonably determines that the 
 subject matter of the investigation justifies protecting the 
 identity of the witness; or 

    (h) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
 mandated reporter under sections 626.556 and 626.557. 

    Data concerning individuals whose identities are protected 
 by this subdivision are private data about those individuals.  
 Law enforcement agencies shall establish procedures to acquire 
 the data and make the decisions necessary to protect the 
 identity of individuals described in clauses (c), (d), (f), and 
 (g). 

    Subd. 18.    Data retention.  Nothing in this section 
 shall require law enforcement agencies to create, collect or 
 maintain data which is not required to be created, collected or 
 maintained by any other applicable rule or statute.  

    Subd. 19.    Data in arrest warrant indices.  Data in 
 arrest warrant indices are classified as confidential data until 
 the defendant has been taken into custody, served with a 
 warrant, or appears before the court, except when the law 
 enforcement agency determines that the public purpose is served 
 by making the information public.  

    Subd. 20.    Property data.  Data that uniquely describe 
 stolen, lost, confiscated, or recovered property are classified 
 as either private data on individuals or nonpublic data 
 depending on the content of the not public data.  

    Subd. 21.    Reward program data.  To the extent that 
 the release of program data would reveal the identity of an 
 informant or adversely affect the integrity of the fund, 
 financial records of a program that pays rewards to informants 
 are protected nonpublic data in the case of data not on 
 individuals or confidential data in the case of data on 
 individuals.  

    Subd. 22.    Data on registered criminal offenders.  
 Data described in section 243.166 shall be classified as 
 described in that section. 

    Subd. 23.    Data in missing children bulletins.  Data 
 described in section 299C.54 shall be classified as described in 
 that section. 

    Subd. 24.    Exchanges of information.  Nothing in this 
 chapter prohibits the exchange of information by law enforcement 
 agencies provided the exchanged information is pertinent and 
 necessary to the requesting agency in initiating, furthering, or 
 completing an investigation, except not public personnel data. 

    Subd. 25.    Deliberative processes.  Data that reflect 
 deliberative processes or investigative techniques of law 
 enforcement agencies are confidential data on individuals or 
 protected nonpublic data; provided that information, reports, or 
 memoranda that have been adopted as the final opinion or 
 justification for a decision of a law enforcement agency are 
 public data.  

    Subd. 26.    Booking photographs.  (a) For purposes of 
 this subdivision, "booking photograph" means a photograph or 
 electronically produced image taken by law enforcement for 
 identification purposes in connection with the arrest of a 
 person. 

    (b) Except as otherwise provided in this subdivision, a 
 booking photograph is public data.  A law enforcement agency may 
 temporarily withhold access to a booking photograph if the 
 agency determines that access will adversely affect an active 
 investigation. 

    Subd. 27.    Pawnshop data.  Data that would reveal the 
 identity of persons who are customers of a licensed pawnbroker 
 or secondhand goods dealer are private data on individuals.  
 Data describing the property in a regulated transaction with a 
 licensed pawnbroker or secondhand goods dealer are public.

     13.821 Videotapes of child abuse victims. 

    (a) Notwithstanding section 13.04, subdivision 3, an 
 individual subject of data may not obtain a copy of a videotape 
 in which a child victim or alleged victim is alleging, 
 explaining, denying, or describing an act of physical or sexual 
 abuse without a court order under section 13.03, subdivision 6, 
 or 611A.90.  The definitions of physical abuse and sexual abuse 
 in section 626.556, subdivision 2, apply to this section, except 
 that abuse is not limited to acts by a person responsible for 
 the child's care or in a significant relationship with the child 
 or position of authority. 

    (b) This section does not limit other rights of access to 
 data by an individual under section 13.04, subdivision 3, other 
 than the right to obtain a copy of the videotape, nor limit 
 rights of access pursuant to discovery in a court proceeding.
