BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:
Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 13.02,
subdivision 11, is amended to read:
Subd. 11. [POLITICAL SUBDIVISION.] "Political subdivision"
means any county, statutory or home rule charter city, school
district, special district, any town exercising powers under
chapter 368 and located in the metropolitan area, as defined in
section 473.121, subdivision 2, and any board, commission,
district or authority created pursuant to law, local ordinance
or charter provision. It includes any nonprofit corporation
which is a community action agency organized pursuant to the
Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 (Public Law Number 88-452) as
amended, to qualify for public funds, or any nonprofit social
service agency which performs services under contract to any
political subdivision, statewide system or state agency, to the
extent that the nonprofit social service agency or nonprofit
corporation collects, stores, disseminates, and uses data on
individuals because of a contractual relationship with state
agencies, political subdivisions or statewide systems.
Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 13.072,
subdivision 2, is amended to read:
Subd. 2. [EFFECT.] Opinions issued by the commissioner
under this section are not binding on the state agency,
statewide system, or political subdivision whose data is the
subject of the opinion, but must be given deference by a court
in a proceeding involving the data. The commissioner shall
arrange for public dissemination of opinions issued under this
section. This section does not preclude a person from bringing
any other action under this chapter or other law in addition to
or instead of requesting a written opinion. A state agency,
statewide system, political subdivision, government entity or
person that acts in conformity with a written opinion of the
commissioner issued to the government entity or person or to
another party is not liable for compensatory or exemplary
damages or awards of attorneys fees in actions under section
13.08 or for a penalty under section 13.09.
Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 13.08,
subdivision 4, is amended to read:
Subd. 4. [ACTION TO COMPEL COMPLIANCE.] (a) In addition to
the remedies provided in subdivisions 1 to 3 or any other law,
any aggrieved person seeking to enforce the person's rights
under this chapter or obtain access to data may bring an action
in district court to compel compliance with this chapter and may
recover costs and disbursements, including reasonable attorney's
fees, as determined by the court. If the court determines that
an action brought under this subdivision is frivolous and
without merit and a basis in fact, it may award reasonable costs
and attorney fees to the responsible authority. If the court
issues an order to compel compliance under this subdivision, the
court may impose a civil penalty of up to $300 against the
government entity. This penalty is payable to the state general
fund and is in addition to damages under subdivision 1. The
matter shall be heard as soon as possible. In an action
involving a request for government data under section 13.03 or
13.04, the court may inspect in camera the government data in
dispute, but shall conduct its hearing in public and in a manner
that protects the security of data classified as not public. If
the court issues an order to compel compliance under this
subdivision, the court shall forward a copy of the order to the
commissioner of administration.
(b) In determining whether to assess a civil penalty under
this subdivision, the court shall consider whether the
government entity has substantially complied with general data
practices under this chapter, including but not limited to,
whether the government entity has:
(1) designated a responsible authority under section 13.02,
subdivision 16;
(2) designated a data practices compliance official under
section 13.05, subdivision 13;
(3) prepared the public document that names the responsible
authority and describes the records and data on individuals that
are maintained by the government entity under section 13.05,
subdivision 1;
(4) developed public access procedures under section 13.03,
subdivision 2; procedures to guarantee the rights of data
subjects under section 13.05, subdivision 8; and procedures to
ensure that data on individuals are accurate and complete and to
safeguard the data's security under section 13.05, subdivision
5;
(5) sought an oral, written, or electronic opinion from the
commissioner of administration related to the matter at issue
and acted in conformity with that opinion or acted in conformity
with an opinion issued under section 13.072 that was sought by
another person; or
(6) provided ongoing training to government entity
personnel who respond to requests under this chapter.

addresses, and home telephone numbers of students in grades 11
and 12 within 60 days after the date of the request, except as
otherwise provided by this subdivision. A secondary institution
shall give parents and students notice of the right to refuse
release of this data to military recruiting officers. Notice
may be given by any means reasonably likely to inform the
parents and students of the right. Data released to military
recruiting officers under this subdivision:
(1) may be used only for the purpose of providing
information to students about military service, state and
federal veterans' education benefits, and other career and
educational opportunities provided by the military; and

Subd. 3. [BUSINESS AS VENDOR.] (a) Data submitted by a
business to a government entity in response to a request for
bids as defined in section 16C.02, subdivision 11, are private
or nonpublic until the bids are opened. Once the bids are
opened, the name of the bidder and the dollar amount specified
in the response are read and become public. All other data in a
bidder's response to a bid are private or nonpublic data until
completion of the selection process. For purposes of this
section, "completion of the selection process" means that the
government entity has completed its evaluation and has ranked
the responses. After a government entity has completed the
selection process, all remaining data submitted by all bidders
are public with the exception of trade secret data as defined
and classified in section 13.37. A statement by a bidder that
submitted data are copyrighted or otherwise protected does not
prevent public access to the data contained in the bid.
If all responses to a request for bids are rejected prior
to completion of the selection process, all data, other than
that made public at the bid opening, remain private or nonpublic
until a resolicitation of bids results in completion of the
selection process or a determination is made to abandon the
purchase. If the rejection occurs after the completion of the
selection process, the data remain public. If a resolicitation
of bids does not occur within one year of the bid opening date,
the remaining data become public.

responses are opened. Once the responses are opened, the name
of the responder is read and becomes public. All other data in
a responder's response to a request for proposal are private or
nonpublic data until completion of the evaluation process. For
purposes of this section, "completion of the evaluation process"
means that the government entity has completed negotiating the
contract with the selected vendor. After a government entity
has completed the evaluation process, all remaining data
submitted by all responders are public with the exception of
trade secret data as defined and classified in section 13.37. A
statement by a responder that submitted data are copyrighted or
otherwise protected does not prevent public access to the data
contained in the response.
If all responses to a request for proposal are rejected
prior to completion of the evaluation process, all data, other
than that made public at the response opening, remain private or
nonpublic until a resolicitation of the requests for proposal
results in completion of the evaluation process or a
determination is made to abandon the purchase. If the rejection
occurs after the completion of the evaluation process, the data
remain public. If a resolicitation of proposals does not occur
within one year of the proposal opening date, the remaining data
become public.

historical society. The state records center which stores and
services state records not in state archives shall be
administered by the commissioner of administration. The
commissioner of administration is empowered to (1) establish
standards, procedures, and techniques for effective management
of government records, (2) make continuing surveys of paper work
operations, and (3) recommend improvements in current records
management practices including the use of space, equipment, and

schedule is unanimously approved by the records disposition
panel, the head of the governmental unit or agency having
custody of the records may dispose of the type of records listed
in the schedule at a time and in a manner prescribed in the
schedule for particular records which were created after the

subdivision shall be forwarded to the commissioner and the

destroyed.

and health inspection except in enforcement proceedings brought
under this chapter. All written information, documentation and

once the departmental inspection file is closed. Data that
identify individuals who provide data to the department as part
of an investigation conducted under this chapter shall be
private.

by the right of confrontation of either the United States
Constitution or the Minnesota Constitution. The juvenile court
shall provide, upon the request of any other juvenile court,
copies of the records concerning adjudications involving the
particular child. The court also may provide copies of records
concerning delinquency adjudications, on request, to law
enforcement agencies, probation officers, and corrections agents

safety or is in the best interests of the child. Until July 1,
2001, Juvenile court delinquency proceeding records of
adjudications, court transcripts, and delinquency petitions,
including any probable cause attachments that have been filed or
police officer reports relating to a petition, must be released
to requesting law enforcement agencies and prosecuting
authorities for purposes of investigating and prosecuting
violations of section 609.229, provided that psychological or
mental health reports may not be included with those records.

The court shall also keep an index in which files
pertaining to juvenile matters shall be indexed under the name
of the child. After the name of each file shall be shown the
file number and, if ordered by the court, the book and page of
the register in which the documents pertaining to such file are
listed. The court shall also keep a register properly indexed
in which shall be listed under the name of the child all
documents filed pertaining to the child and in the order filed.
The list shall show the name of the document and the date of
filing thereof. The juvenile court legal records shall be
deposited in files and shall include the petition, summons,

such other matters as the court deems necessary and proper.
Unless otherwise provided by law, all court records shall be
open at all reasonable times to the inspection of any child to
whom the records relate, and to the child's parent and guardian.
(b) The court shall retain records of the court finding
that a juvenile committed an act that would be a felony- or
gross misdemeanor level offense until the offender reaches the
age of 28. If the offender commits a felony as an adult, or the
court convicts a child as an extended jurisdiction juvenile, the
court shall retain the juvenile records for as long as the
records would have been retained if the offender had been an
adult at the time of the juvenile offense. This paragraph does

bureau shall only disseminate a juvenile adjudication history
record in connection with a background check required by statute
or rule and performed on a licensee, license applicant, or
employment applicant or performed under section 299C.62 or

299C.62, juvenile adjudication history disseminated under this
paragraph is limited to offenses that would constitute a
background check crime as defined in section 299C.61,
subdivision 2. A consent for release of information from an
individual who is the subject of a juvenile adjudication history
is not effective and the bureau shall not release a juvenile
adjudication history record and shall not release information in
a manner that reveals the existence of the record.
Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 299C.13, is

ascertained, including references to any juvenile or adult court
disposition data that are not in the criminal history system.
Upon application by any sheriff, chief of police, or other peace
officer in the state, or by an officer of the United States or
by an officer of another state, territory, or government duly
authorized to receive the same and effecting reciprocal
interchange of similar information with the division, it shall
be the duty of the bureau to furnish all information in its
possession pertaining to the identification of any person. If
the bureau has a sealed record on the arrested person, it shall
notify the requesting peace officer of that fact and of the
right to seek a court order to open the record for purposes of
law enforcement. A criminal justice agency shall be notified,
upon request, of the existence and contents of a sealed record
containing conviction information about an applicant for
employment. For purposes of this section a "criminal justice
agency" means courts or a government agency that performs the
administration of criminal justice under statutory authority.

under paragraph (a), the court shall order that the test be
performed by an appropriate health professional who is trained
to provide the counseling described in section 144.7414, and
that no reference to the test, the motion requesting the test,
the test order, or the test results may appear in the criminal
record or be maintained in any record of the court or court
services, except in the medical record maintained by the
department of corrections.
