Everything online journalists need to protect their legal rights. This free resource culls from all Reporters Committee resources and includes exclusive content on digital media law issues.
The Data Practices Act states that all data are accessible "unless classified by statute, or temporary classification pursuant to § 13.06, or federal law, as nonpublic or protected nonpublic, or with respect to data on individuals, as private or confidential." § 13.03, subd. 1.
Thus, there are no general exemptions from the Act. There are a large number of categories of data rendered non-public by specific provisions of the Act itself.
