Certain property taxes proceedings data protection requirements modifications

SF 3804 modifies Minnesota's data protection rules for property tax assessments, specifically clarifying that sensitive financial data (like income figures, vacancy rates, and lease information) classified as private under state law can still be accessed in legal proceedings. The bill requires Tax Court to issue protective orders preventing public disclosure or misuse of this data during tax disputes, ensuring it's only used for the specific legal case. It directly affects property owners (whose data is protected), Tax Court proceedings, and legal parties involved in property tax challenges. The key change removes barriers to using this data in court while adding safeguards to maintain confidentiality.
