Department of Natural Resources employees that serve the public providing contact information the usual means of contact are not available requirement

This bill requires Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) employees who directly serve the public to provide alternative contact information if normal contact methods (like a standard office line) aren't available. It directly affects DNR staff whose roles involve public interaction, ensuring citizens can reach them for assistance. The law amends Minnesota Statute 84.083 to mandate this, specifying employees must offer either their own alternative contact or another employee's contact who can provide the same service. Crucially, it clarifies employees are not required to share private contact details like home addresses or personal phone numbers.
