Data reported to the Office of Cannabis Management through the statewide monitoring system (established under section 342.05) would be classified as nonpublic or private data, shielding it from public disclosure.

Application status for cannabis and hemp business licenses would become public data, except for an applicant's status as a social equity applicant, which remains protected.

Scoring and review data generated by the Office when evaluating license applications would no longer be public data under the proposed changes.

Additional categories of license holder data would be protected from public disclosure, including business plans with site/security/operations descriptions, accounting compliance data, and vehicle disclosure forms.

Amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 342.20, subdivisions 1, 2, and 3 to expand data privacy protections for cannabis and hemp businesses.
