This bill, Senate File No. 2192, proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 13.02, subdivision 11, under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. The key change would make all towns in Minnesota subject to this Act, ensuring that all town governments follow the same public data transparency and privacy requirements as other political subdivisions like counties, cities, and school districts.

Currently, only certain towns in the metropolitan area exercising powers under chapter 368 are explicitly included under the definition of "political subdivision" in this context. This bill removes that limitation, making the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act applicable to all towns statewide.

The bill was introduced and given its first reading on March 6, 2025, then referred to the State and Local Government Committee for further consideration.
