PRIVACY POLICY

Personal privacy should be protected in a way that does not harm the competitiveness of Minnesota employers. Minnesota has among the strictest laws in the nation in terms of protecting individuals' financial information. Further restrictions on the sharing of information could have significant impact on businesses, especially small companies that often have to enter into relationships and share information with third parties in order to offer services similar to their larger counterparts.

2010 Legislative Priorities

Minnesota law should be consistent with federal law. We oppose legislation that would restrict the use, sharing or disposal of information beyond federal law.
