Data practices complaints filing fee reduction provision

SF 499 reduces the filing fee for complaints about government data practices from $1,000 to $200. This change directly affects individuals or organizations filing formal complaints alleging violations of Minnesota's data practices laws against government entities. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 13.085, specifically modifying the fee requirement in the complaint process while keeping all other procedural rules unchanged. It aims to lower financial barriers for citizens seeking to address potential government data misuse. The fee reduction applies to all complaints filed under this section, effective upon enactment.
