This bill, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives by Representative Nash, proposes a reduction in appropriations for state government agencies based on unfilled positions. Specifically, it mandates that appropriations for agency operations be reduced by the amount of salary and benefits saved from positions that remain unfilled for 12 months.

Key provisions: - The reductions will apply to positions posted in fiscal years 2025, 2026, and 2027. - These reductions will be reflected in agency base budgets for fiscal years 2028 and 2029. - The bill exempts positions that require law enforcement training. - The commissioner of management and budget is required to report the spending reductions for each agency to the legislative finance committees.

The overall goal of the bill is to ensure budget efficiency by eliminating funding allocations for long-vacant positions.
