Updated Model Data Practices Policies Available
The Minnesota Department of Administration’s Data Practices Office has updated its model data access policies to reflect changes made to the Data Practices Act during the 2025 legislative session.
A new amendment to Minnesota Statutes, section 13.03 allows a government entity to suspend its response to a public data request if the requester does not inspect or collect the data within five days after being notified that it’s ready.
These updates appear on page 3 of the Model Policy for the Public, and page 5 of the Model Policy for Data Subjects.
Access both model policies on the Minnesota Department of Administration’s Data Practices website.
