Minnesota SF2600 requires state agencies to allocate at least half of their advertising expenses to local news organizations.

Minnesota SF2600 mandates that state agencies allocate at least 50% of their advertising expenses to local news organizations, with a preference for local newspapers. This requirement takes effect July 1, 2025, and excludes advertising primarily targeting out-of-state residents. Agencies must publish annual reports detailing their advertising spending, the percentage allocated to local news organizations, and the recipients of these funds. These reports are to be posted on agency websites and shared with relevant state government officials.
