On: MN Bill Would Require Use of Open Data Formats

The bill was sent off to Rep. Tingelstad's Operations' Committee originally, but now has been joined into a larger bill, according to my state representative. Tingelstad's district neighbors mine - so I inquired about the bill to both Chairwoman Tinglestad and my representative.

===============

Michael,

I believe the text of this legislation was incorporated into the State

regarding this language. Although it's touch to tell fortunes around

will become law.

Sincerely,

State Rep. Christopher J. DeLaForest
House District 49A
