The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 177.42, subdivision 2, to expand the definition of "project" in relation to labor laws. The revised definition now includes not only the demolition, erection, construction, remodeling, or repairing of public buildings and facilities financed in whole or in part by state funds, but also extends to projects owned by a city, county, or school district.

Specifically, the bill states that a project qualifies under this definition if the materials and supplies used, or equipment incorporated into the construction, reconstruction, upgrade, expansion, renovation, or remodeling of the project, qualify for an exemption from sales and use tax under chapter 297A or special law. This change aims to broaden the scope of what constitutes a project, thereby potentially impacting labor regulations and funding eligibility for various public works initiatives.
