HF 4479 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Elected officials permitted to hold town hall meetings at postsecondary institutions.

This bill allows elected officials in Minnesota to hold town hall meetings at public colleges and universities within their jurisdiction. It requires these institutions to provide free, available space and waive parking fees for attendees when officials request a meeting at least 30 days in advance. The law limits officials to three such meetings per year and specifies that institutions do not need to cancel existing reservations to accommodate these events. This provision applies to Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, with the University of Minnesota asked to comply voluntarily.
