MN HF3010

Requires government entities to obtain a search warrant before accessing electronic communication information, including contents and precise or approximate location data, with exceptions only for valid consent or exigent circumstances involving danger to life or physical safety.

Warrants authorizing collection of electronic communication information must be sealed for 90 days or until the warrant objective is accomplished (whichever is shorter) and filed with the court administrator within 10 days of expiration.

Subjects of electronic communication information access must receive notice within 90 days after the warrant is unsealed, including details of the warrant issuance, collection period, and whether information was actually collected.

Requires judges to report warrant applications, grants, modifications, and denials to the state court administrator, with biennial public reports to the legislature on all such warrants and denied applications.

Repeals previous provisions allowing government access to electronic communications through alternative means (Minnesota Statutes sections 626A.28 subdivisions 1-2, 626A.29, and 626A.30) and modifies related statutes to require warrants for electronic communication information access.
