Minnesota HF3551 makes portable recording system data on certain elected officials public.

Minnesota HF3551 amends data practices to make portable recording system data on elected officials public. The bill specifies that data on elected officials charged with a felony becomes public 14 days after a criminal complaint is filed. It also allows certain individuals, such as the deceased's next of kin, to inspect the data within five days of a request. The law enforcement agency may deny access if it interferes with an active investigation. The court can order the release of data if the benefit to the public or the person bringing the action outweighs any harm.
