This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to improve member access to electric cooperative documents and meetings, and require electronic voting and voting by mail for cooperative board of directors elections. The key provisions include: 1) requiring open board meetings with remote participation, 2) mandating that cooperatives maintain certain documents on their website for member access, 3) providing members access to the membership list for legitimate purposes, 4) allowing board candidates to be nominated by petition, and 5) requiring secure electronic and mail-in voting for board elections. The bill aims to enhance transparency and member participation in electric cooperative governance.
