Bill > SF3327

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would require a two-thirds supermajority vote (at least 67%) in both chambers of the Minnesota Legislature to authorize any public funding for professional sports facilities, including their design, construction, or renovation. The proposed amendment would be placed on the ballot for voters to decide in the 2026 general election, with the specific ballot question asking voters whether they support requiring a supermajority legislative vote for such public funding. If approved by voters, this amendment would make it more difficult for the legislature to approve public financial support for professional sports venues by raising the approval threshold from a simple majority (over 50%) to a two-thirds majority. The goal appears to be providing additional scrutiny and requiring broader consensus before committing public funds to professional sports facility projects.
