SF 242 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Vacant state office space report requirement

This bill requires Minnesota's Commissioner of Administration to submit a report by February 15, 2026, detailing all state-owned and leased office space. The report must identify substantially vacant properties, analyze potential conversion to housing, and estimate revenue from renting or selling repurposed space. It mandates the commissioner to obtain cost estimates for conversion and contract a study on real estate market conditions to support revenue projections. The bill does not change state law or mandate repurposing - only requires this analysis be conducted and reported to legislative committees. The report will inform future decisions about vacant state properties, directly affecting state budget planning.
