AI Generated Summary

The bill SF No 707 aims to amend the Minnesota Constitution to explicitly include electronic communications and data under the protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Currently, the Constitution protects the security of persons, homes, papers, and effects from unreasonable searches. This bill proposes to extend the same level of protection to digital data and communications. If passed, this amendment would need to be approved by voters in the 2026 general election. They would vote on whether to secure electronic communications and data from unreasonable searches and seizures, similarly to how physical properties and personal privacy are currently protected.
