Ban local elected officials 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. It directly affects city councils, mayors, county commissioners, and other local leaders by making such confidentiality contracts void and unenforceable. If a local government enters into a violating agreement, the law requires them to publicly disclose the contract, though other parts of the deal can remain valid. The restrictions apply only to agreements entered into on or after August 1, 2026.
