SF 3785 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Employee Identification numbers classified as not public data provision

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to remove employee identification numbers from the list of public personnel data that government entities must disclose. It directly affects current and former employees, volunteers, and contractors working for Minnesota government entities, including state agencies, local governments, school districts, and public safety organizations. The key change specifies that employee IDs - distinct from Social Security numbers - are no longer required to be publicly accessible under the state's data practices law. This adjustment aligns with broader privacy protections by limiting the public availability of specific employee identifiers.
