General data audit trail requirements created for not public data.
HF 398 requires Minnesota government entities handling non-public data to maintain detailed audit trails tracking all actions involving that data. Specifically, it mandates recording the date, identity of users, sources of received data, and recipients of shared data. The audit trails must match the data's classification level and be retained for at least ten years or until the underlying data is destroyed per records policies. This applies to all government entities creating, accessing, changing, or sharing non-public data, effective August 1, 2025. The bill does not override existing audit requirements for specific data types.
