This bill, S.F. No. 2241, proposes a new law in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13, that would prohibit government entities from sharing personally identifiable information (PII) with federal agencies or officials, unless certain conditions are met.

Key Provisions:

• Definition of Personally Identifiable Information (PII):
  Personally identifiable information is defined as any government data that can identify a specific individual.

• General Prohibition on Data Sharing:
  Government entities in Minnesota cannot share PII with federal agencies unless the data is first masked or anonymized.

• Exceptions:
  Government entities may share PII with federal agencies only if:

  1. It is required by state or federal law; or
     
  2. It is ordered by a court.

This bill aims to limit federal access to Minnesota residents' personal data unless disclosure is explicitly mandated by law or court order.
