Senate File No. 1169 is a proposed law in Minnesota that aims to manage government spending more efficiently by reducing funds allocated to government agency positions that have remained unfilled for at least 180 days. Specifically, if a job isn’t filled within six months after it's posted, the money set aside for that position’s salary and benefits will be cut from the agency's budget for the next two fiscal years. These reductions will be considered permanent adjustments to the agencies' budgets starting from fiscal years 2026 to 2027. This rule does not apply to positions related to law enforcement or public safety. The bill also requires the Commissioner of Management and Budget to report on these budget reductions to certain legislative committees, helping keep track of how much money is saved through this process.
