This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, specifically article XI, section 5, to allow the state to incur public debt for the purpose of funding public information technology systems, licenses, and infrastructure. The amendment would add a new provision (j) that explicitly permits the state to pay for capital costs associated with the design, acquisition, installation, construction, equipping, and servicing of these technology systems and infrastructure. Additionally, the bill modifies the existing language by removing the conjunction "and" before the new provision and adding a new subsection (k) that allows political subdivisions to engage in the works permitted by the newly added provision.

The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters during the 2026 general election, with the ballot question asking whether the Minnesota Constitution should be amended to allow the state to issue bonds and incur public debt for the specified purposes. This initiative aims to enhance the state's capabilities in managing and improving its public information technology and infrastructure, thereby potentially increasing efficiency and service delivery to the public.
