Reported the same back with the following amendments:
Delete everything after the enacting clause and insert:
"Section 1. [634.046]
PROTECTION OF PERSONNEL DATA ACCESSED BY A PROSECUTING AUTHORITY.
Subdivision 1. Definitions. (a) For the purposes of this section,
the following terms have the meanings given in this subdivision.
(b) "Brady-Giglio material"
means all data about a public employee witness that has been determined by a
prosecuting authority, according to law and pursuant to the policy required
under subdivision 2, to be potentially exculpatory and/or impeaching.
(c) "Criminal action" means
any petty misdemeanor, misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, felony, or delinquency
proceedings.
(d) "Not public data" has the
meaning given in section 13.02, subdivision 8a.
(e) "Peace officer" or
"officer" has the meaning given in section 626.88, subdivision 1,
paragraph (b).
(f) "Personnel data" has the
meaning given in section 13.43, subdivision 1.
(g) "Private data" has the
meaning given in section 13.02, subdivision 12.
(h) "Prosecuting authority" or
"authority" means the public official and their designees responsible
for initiating and conducting criminal prosecutions, including the Minnesota
Attorney General's Office, each county attorney's office, and each principal
city attorney, including any attorney contracted for the prosecution of
criminal offenses for a city or municipality.
Subd. 2. Contents
of prosecuting authority policy. (a)
All prosecuting authorities in Minnesota shall implement a written policy to
guide the process of seeking and reviewing personnel data, and disclosing
personnel data if determined to be Brady-Giglio material in all criminal
actions in Minnesota.
(b) A policy under this section must
state goals and contain objectives and procedures to address the following
matters:
(1) the methodology, according to law,
used by the prosecuting authority to determine whether personnel data will be
considered Brady-Giglio material and retained by the prosecuting authority;
(2) the requirement of
the prosecuting authority to designate and identify responsible attorney
personnel to oversee and administer shared obligations under the policy;
(3) procedures for a public employer,
including a law enforcement authority, to notify the prosecuting authority of
conduct by a public employee that could meet the definition of Brady-Giglio
material;
(4) procedures for the prosecuting
authority to notify the public employer and the subject of the data of the
following:
(i) when the prosecuting authority
subpoenas or requests personnel data or files a motion in court to seek the
production of personnel data for in camera review;
(ii) when the prosecuting authority has
determined it will retain an individual's data, including any not public data,
for Brady-Giglio purposes; and
(iii) after receiving a court order in a
criminal action handled by the prosecuting authority that makes a determination
that a public employee's conduct may need to be disclosed in future cases under
Brady-Giglio;
(5) procedures for the prosecuting
authority to receive supplemental data or information from the public employer
or the subject of the data for the purpose of updating Brady-Giglio material or
requesting that the prosecuting authority reconsider its Brady-Giglio
determination, including reasonable time frames;
(6) procedures for protecting retained
personnel data for Brady-Giglio purposes from public disclosure or any improper
use outside of the criminal action where that data may be disclosed or
relevant; and
(7) procedures for educating law
enforcement agencies and other public employers about the contents and
requirements of the policy and their roles in assisting with the policy's
implementation.
Subd. 3. Prohibition
on do not call. Except as
otherwise authorized or required by law, a prosecuting authority's disclosure
of Brady-Giglio information must be on a case-by-case basis when the
prosecuting authority has determined that the information about a testifying
witness could be material. A prosecuting
authority may not create or establish a blanket do not use or do not call list,
status, or designation for public employees because that determination must be
case specific. "Do not call"
or "do not use" for purposes of this section means a predetermined,
generic policy or decision by a prosecuting authority that a public employee
witness will never be called to testify in any proceeding. The fact that a prosecuting authority has not
called a public employee in any proceedings does not constitute or create the
presumption of the existence of a blanket prohibition list.
Subd. 4. Restrictions
on data. (a) Subject to the
limitations of the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, any personnel data
designated as Brady-Giglio material and disclosed in a criminal action by any
agency or government entity under this section or pursuant to any court order shall
maintain its original data classification.
(b) Notwithstanding any law to the
contrary, a prosecuting authority shall not disclose to any person any data
that is received from a government entity and is on a current or former
employee of that entity; provided, however, that the prosecuting authority
shall disclose such data to the court or any party in a case as required under
applicable law. The prosecuting
authority may disclose such data: (1) to
the current or former employee who is the subject of the data; (2) in response
to an inquiry under Minnesota Rules, part 6700.0670, subpart 2, item A, subitem
(13); or (3) to another prosecuting authority that is in compliance with the
requirements of subdivision 2.
(c) The district court shall make
appropriate safeguards to protect personnel data and classified data designated
as Brady-Giglio material when disclosure is necessary to pro se parties
representing themselves as defendants in any criminal action. The district court may appoint standby legal
counsel to handle any Brady-Giglio material that must be disclosed in a
criminal action to a pro se party.
(d) The district
court may issue protective orders restricting the disclosure and use of
personnel data provided to the defendant pursuant to this section upon the
request of a prosecuting authority.
(e) Recipients of Brady-Giglio material
in a criminal action marked by the prosecuting authority or the court as
originating from a public employee's personnel file shall protect that data
from further disclosure outside of the criminal action. Recipients of this data who fail to abide by
this subdivision or a protective order issued under paragraph (d) are
punishable by a misdemeanor.
Subd. 5. Judicial
notice to public employer and prosecuting authority. If a court finds that a public
employee, including a peace officer, who testifies at a hearing or submits
other testimonial evidence, has been untruthful, the district court shall
provide notice to the public employer, employee, and the local prosecuting
authority, as well as the parties in the applicable case.
Subd. 6. Compliance with other laws. The provisions of this section shall not be construed in any way, manner, or form to restrict prosecutors or judges from fulfilling their constitutional, professional, and ethical obligations."

"A bill for an act relating to public safety; providing for protection of certain data accessed by a prosecuting authority; proposing coding for new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 634."

The
report was adopted.

(b) Such discrimination threatens the rights and privileges of the inhabitants of this state and menaces the institutions and foundations of democracy. It is also the public policy of this state to protect all persons from wholly unfounded charges of discrimination. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted as restricting the implementation of positive action programs to combat discrimination.
(c) Accommodations allow people with disabilities to participate fully in all these areas of protection. Failure to engage in the process to determine an accommodation may be discriminatory."
