SF 5268 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Attorney general's subpoena authority modification

This bill expands the authority of the Minnesota Attorney General to issue subpoenas for specific records held by various businesses and organizations. It directly affects telephone and internet providers, utility companies, financial institutions, hotels, pawn shops, transportation services, and insurance firms by allowing the Attorney General to request their data. The key provision requires that these subpoenas be used only when the records are relevant to an ongoing law enforcement investigation. By updating existing statutes, the legislation clarifies the types of entities from which the Attorney General can obtain information for public safety purposes.
