Bill > SF3267

This bill prohibits sitting legislators and executive branch appointees from accepting employment or receiving compensation from nonprofit organizations that receive state grant funding. Specifically, the bill amends existing Minnesota statutes to add a new employment restriction for state legislators and appointed officials. For legislators, this means they cannot work for or be compensated by a nonprofit organization that receives state grants, in addition to existing prohibitions on working for lobbying and government relations businesses. For executive branch appointees, including commissioners and deputy commissioners, the bill establishes that they cannot be employed by or receive compensation from state grant-funded nonprofit organizations at the time of their appointment and during their service. The goal appears to be preventing potential conflicts of interest by ensuring that public officials do not have financial ties to organizations that receive state funding. The bill requires both the house of representatives and senate to adopt rules to enforce these prohibitions, and it applies to commissioners and deputy commissioners within one year after leaving their positions.
