Bill > HF3352

This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, specifically article XI, section 5, which outlines the purposes for which the state can incur public debt. If approved by voters, the amendment would add a new provision allowing the state to issue bonds and incur public debt to cover the capital costs associated with the design, acquisition, installation, construction, equipping, and servicing of public information technology systems, licenses, and infrastructure. This means that the state could borrow money to invest in and upgrade its technology systems, similar to how it can borrow for other public improvements like buildings or highways. The bill also specifies that this proposed amendment will be put to a vote of the people at the 2026 general election, and it outlines the exact wording of the question that will be presented to voters.
