This bill proposes technical changes to various sections of Minnesota Statutes related to the Department of Administration. It amends section 16B.2405 to allow the commissioner to collect fees for events held in the Capitol building, with the collected funds being appropriated for direct costs associated with these events. The requirement for the commissioner to report annually on the events and financials related to the Capitol has been removed. Additionally, section 16C.08 is amended to eliminate the detailed reporting requirements for contracts for professional or technical services, streamlining the reporting process.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new subdivision to section 138.665, providing definitions related to historic and archaeological properties and establishing responsibilities for state entities in protecting these properties. It also modifies the consultation process for state departments and agencies regarding potential adverse effects on designated properties, emphasizing the need for a memorandum of understanding if adverse effects are anticipated. Lastly, the bill repeals section 16C.155, subdivision 3, which mandated tracking and reporting on janitorial contracts and related services.
