Bill > SF2069

This bill provides a $600,000 one-time appropriation from the Minnesota state general fund to the Board of Trustees of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, specifically for Metropolitan State University to establish a cyber range service. The funding will enable the university to contract with a cyber range vendor to create an isolated, interactive virtual environment for cybersecurity training and simulation. This cyber range will be accessible to enrolled students and state and local government agencies, with the primary goal of developing advanced cybersecurity expertise and preparing participants to effectively counter and defend against a wide range of cyberattacks. The appropriation is designated for fiscal year 2026 and will remain available until June 30, 2028, providing a focused, time-limited investment in cybersecurity education and training.
