The bill appropriates $250,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2027 to the commissioner of employment and economic development to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the statewide economic impact of increased immigration enforcement in Minnesota, particularly focusing on the effects of Operation Metro Surge initiated in December 2025. This analysis will evaluate various factors, including labor force participation, workforce availability, impacts on small and microbusinesses, sector-specific effects on industries such as agriculture and healthcare, and regional economic impacts across different communities in Minnesota.

The analysis will also assess the implications for business operations, supply chains, consumer spending, and state and local tax revenue. The commissioner is authorized to gather data from academic institutions, businesses, and state agencies, and may contract with a nonpartisan third party to assist in preparing the report. A final report detailing the findings of the analysis is required to be submitted to the relevant legislative committees by February 1, 2027.
