Related bill: HF2051

AI Generated Summary

Purpose of the Bill

The purpose of the bill is to amend existing Minnesota law regarding the classification of data related to farmed Cervidae. Specifically, the bill addresses how the location data of premises where these animals are kept is classified in terms of public accessibility.

Main Provisions

  • The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 13.643, subdivision 6, to classify the location data of premises where farmed Cervidae (such as deer and elk) are kept as private data.
  • This means that the location data cannot be accessed by the public and is protected under privacy laws.
  • The data that continues to be classified as private or nonpublic includes the names and addresses of individuals, the location of the animal premises, and any identifiers associated with the premises or the animals.

Significant Changes

  • The bill makes a significant change by explicitly classifying farmed Cervidae premises location data as private. Previously, this data might not have been clearly defined as private, affecting the level of accessibility and protection under data privacy laws.
  • This change impacts how information related to the registration and identification of animal premises is managed by the Board of Animal Health.
