This bill, S.F. No. 2069, proposes funding for Metropolitan State University to support cyber range services. It appropriates $600,000 from the general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees, which will then transfer the funds to Metropolitan State University. The university will contract with a cyber range vendor to provide cybersecurity training for enrolled students and state and local government agencies. The purpose is to develop advanced cybersecurity expertise to combat a wide range of cyber threats. The bill defines a cyber range as a controlled virtual environment for training, testing cybersecurity technologies, and simulating cyberattacks and defenses. The appropriation is one-time funding and will be available until June 30, 2028.
