This bill requires that all counties and cities in Minnesota must create and maintain clear, written policies and procedures for their operational tasks. These regulations include forms, deadlines, payment requirements and more regarding various government services. The documents must be easily accessible in physical offices for both public inspection and employee reference. Optionally, they can also be published online, where they should indicate the physical locations where the paper versions can be found. Special attention is given to manuals concerning law enforcement processes, which can only be included with approval from chief law enforcement officers. Importantly, any information protected from public access by the Administrative Procedure Act would not be included in these manuals. The goal is to enhance transparency and accessibility regarding local government operations and services.
