Local elected officials banned from entering certain nondisclosure agreements.

This bill prohibits local elected officials in Minnesota from signing nondisclosure agreements related to potential data center projects within their jurisdictions. The law defines "local elected officials" to include city council members, mayors, county commissioners, and similar roles, while specifying that "data center" refers to the definition provided in existing state statutes. Any agreement violating this rule would be automatically considered void and unenforceable, though the rest of the contract would remain valid, and officials who sign such prohibited contracts must publicly disclose them. The restrictions apply only to agreements entered into on or after August 1, 2026.
