Constitutional amendment providing the right of citizens to secure from unreasonable searches and seizures includes protection against unreasonable searches and seizures of electronic communications and data

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to explicitly protect Minnesotans' electronic communications and data from unreasonable searches and seizures, expanding existing Fourth Amendment safeguards. It would amend Minnesota's Constitution (Article I, Section 10) to state that the right to be secure "in their electronic communications and data" cannot be violated without a warrant based on probable cause. The amendment directly affects all Minnesota residents by granting constitutional-level privacy rights for digital information, such as emails, messages, and online activity. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, it would become part of the state constitution.
