This bill appropriates $250,000 from the general fund for 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. The 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 bill outlines that the analysis must consider the implications for business operations, supply chains, consumer spending, and overall economic output. It allows the commissioner to gather data from academic institutions, businesses, and state agencies, and to potentially contract with a nonpartisan third party for 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.
