This bill aims to prohibit municipalities in Minnesota from entering into nondisclosure agreements that restrict their ability to disclose information to the public. It defines a "municipality" as a county, home rule charter or statutory city, or town, including any representatives acting on behalf of the municipality. The bill establishes that any nondisclosure agreement or contract that violates this prohibition is void and unenforceable. Additionally, if a contract contains such a provision, it must be severed from the rest of the contract, ensuring that the remaining provisions remain intact.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that municipalities must publicly disclose any contracts or agreements that violate the nondisclosure restrictions. The new legal language is proposed to be codified in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 471, specifically under the new section [471.3435]. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day following its final enactment.
