Unemployment insurance judges and paid leave judges designation as judicial officials provision and unemployment insurance judges and paid leave appeals judges exclusion from protections related to personal information in real property records provision

SF 3665 amends Minnesota law to designate unemployment insurance judges and paid leave judges as "judicial officials" under privacy protections. This change directly affects these judges and their current employees within the Department of Employment and Economic Development's Unemployment Insurance and Paid Leave Divisions. The bill adds them to the existing definition of "judicial official" (Minnesota Statutes §480.40, subd. 1(5)), meaning their personal information - including home addresses, family details, and school information - will receive the same privacy safeguards as other judicial branch employees. The policy change extends current privacy protections to these specific roles without altering their duties or creating new programs.
