Municipalities prohibition from entering into nondisclosure agreements

This bill prohibits Minnesota municipalities from signing nondisclosure agreements that prevent them from sharing information about land development, economic projects, or programs funded with public money. It applies to counties, cities, towns, school districts, and other local government entities, as well as their employees and representatives. Any such agreements that violate this rule would be automatically invalid and unenforceable, though the rest of the contract would remain in effect. Municipalities must also publicly disclose any contracts that attempt to restrict information sharing under these rules. The law takes effect immediately after final passage and applies to agreements entered into, renewed, or extended on or after that date.
