Technology Advisory Council

In 2021, the Minnesota Legislature established the Technology Advisory Council (TAC) as a permanent body to advise Minnesota IT Services (MNIT) and executive branch agencies on strategic information technology initiatives and service delivery.

Former iterations of this body have advised the state since the creation of MNIT and the initiation of the executive branch's technology consolidation in 2011. In 2019, with the issuance of Executive Order 19-02, membership was expanded to include additional private and public sector technology experts and four legislative ex-officio members.
