Cannabis Data Designated Non-Public Under Minnesota Monitoring System
Summary
Minnesota Senate Bill SF4402 passed on March 12, 2026, designates data reported to the Office of Cannabis Management through the statewide monitoring system as non-public data. The bill, sponsored by Sens. David Dibble and Lindsey Port, was referred to the Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee and modifies how cannabis-related information is classified under state law.
What changed
Minnesota enacted Senate Bill SF4402, which reclassifies cannabis data reported through the statewide monitoring system as non-public data under state law. The bill passed the Senate on March 12, 2026, during the 94th Legislature, and received committee referrals to Commerce and Consumer Protection and Judiciary and Public Safety. This designation means information collected by the Office of Cannabis Management is no longer subject to public disclosure requirements.
Regulated entities and cannabis businesses should review their data reporting practices and understand that information submitted to the statewide monitoring system will now be protected from public disclosure. Compliance teams should update data handling procedures to align with the new non-public classification and ensure proper confidentiality measures are in place for cannabis-related data.
What to do next
- Review data handling procedures for cannabis-related information reported to state monitoring systems
- Update confidentiality protocols to reflect non-public classification of Office of Cannabis Management data
- Confirm applicability of new data designation across all reporting entities and business units
