Data held by law enforcement agencies regarding the person or entity that posted bail is public authorization; notice to the agency custody of the arrested or detained person when bail or a bond is posted requirement

This bill requires Minnesota law enforcement agencies to publicly disclose the name of the person or entity that posted bail for individuals arrested for specific crimes, including crimes against persons or crimes of violence. It amends statutes to mandate that judges notify the agency holding a defendant in custody when bail is posted, including the payer's identity for these offenses. The change applies only to cases involving crimes listed in Minnesota Statutes 611A.031 or defined as violent crimes under 629.725. This makes bail payer information part of public arrest records under amended Section 13.82. The bill does not alter bail procedures or financial responsibilities for defendants.
