This bill establishes the Campus Closure and Consolidation Commission in Minnesota, tasked with evaluating postsecondary campuses governed by the Board of Trustees of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities. The commission will consist of eight members appointed by the governor, who must ensure geographic and population balance in their selections. The commission's duties include reviewing campuses based on factors such as operating costs, student enrollment trends, and job placement rates, and it must seek input from faculty and staff collective bargaining units. The commission is also required to comply with open meeting laws and will receive administrative support from the commissioner of administration.

The commission is mandated to submit a report to the governor by December 1, 2026, detailing recommendations for campus closures or consolidations, along with the rationale and draft legislation for implementation. The governor must approve or disapprove these recommendations by December 31, 2026, and if approved, the draft legislation will be included in the biennial budget. The bill includes a sunset provision, stating that the commission will expire on October 1, 2026, and it will take effect the day after final enactment.
