This Minnesota legislative bill, introduced by Niska, Scott, and Nash, focuses on clarifying the classification of specific types of data maintained by the State Attorney General's Office. The proposed changes would generally ensure that this data remains private unless specified circumstances require public disclosure. This includes:

1. Records of Disciplinary Proceedings: These would remain private unless there is a public hearing involved.

2. Administrative Communications: Non-investigative information related to policy or administrative matters, which do not result in final public actions, will be kept private.

3. Consumer Complaint Data: Complaints made by consumers against businesses and any follow-up information collected, except data deemed confidential, will remain private.

4. Investigative Data: Information collected in anticipation of, or during, litigation or administrative proceedings that are no longer active will be considered private.

5. Home Protection Hotline Data: Data collected through the Consumer Division of the Attorney General’s Office about consumers facing mortgage issues, including personal and financial details, are to be kept private.

These amendments aim to protect the privacy of individuals involved while maintaining transparency where necessary. The bill was forwarded to the Judiciary Finance and Civil Law Committee for further discussion.
