State debt authorized for digital infrastructure.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Minnesota to use state debt for purchasing, installing, maintaining, and upgrading digital infrastructure used by government agencies and courts. The change would add a new provision to the state constitution permitting the state to borrow money for hardware and software systems owned or used by state officials, executive agencies, the legislature, and state courts. If passed, the amendment would be voted on by Minnesota residents at the 2026 general election and would require a two-thirds legislative vote to authorize the debt. The measure focuses specifically on expanding the state's borrowing authority to cover modern technology needs rather than traditional infrastructure projects.
