SF 5020 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Information technology modernization account establishment

This bill creates a new state account called the Technology Obsolescence Reduction Keystone Account to help fund the modernization or replacement of outdated information technology systems used by state and local governments. It establishes a priority order for allocating general fund surplus money, ensuring this new account receives up to $80 million once the budget shows a positive balance. The legislation also mandates a one-time transfer of $30 million from the general fund in fiscal year 2027 to start the account and requires the state IT director to submit a modernization plan by February 2027 that ranks which systems need updating.
