2006 Minnesota Statutes

5B.01 FINDINGS; PURPOSE.
The legislature finds that individuals attempting to escape from actual or threatened domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking frequently establish new addresses in order to prevent their
assailants or probable assailants from finding them. The purpose of this chapter is to enable state
and local agencies to respond to requests for data without disclosing the location of a victim of
domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking; to enable interagency cooperation with the secretary
of state in providing address confidentiality for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or
stalking; and to enable program participants to use an address designated by the secretary of state
as a substitute mailing address for all purposes.
