Thanks Vic,
You can see the ruling concering JCI’s attempt to withold public data in the St. Louis County schools case here. Bottom Line:
“Generally, private organizations, such as JCI, are not subject to the requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13. However, they are obligated to comply with Chapter 13 if they enter into a contract with a government entity to perform any of its functions and maintain government data in connection with that contractual relationship.”
