This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to establish new regulations regarding outgoing officials in local government. Specifically, it introduces a definition for "outgoing official," which refers to individuals who continue to serve in their elected or appointed positions after their successors have been elected or appointed. The bill adds a new subdivision to section 475.51 to clarify this definition.

Additionally, the bill imposes a limitation on outgoing officials by prohibiting them from voting on new municipal debt obligations. This new provision, added to section 475.52, states that if an outgoing official votes on such matters, their vote will not be counted. However, there is an exception for obligations that require approval from a majority of electors, as outlined in section 475.58.
