Advocacy

ACEC Minnesota represents the business and professional interests of engineering firms before the Minnesota Legislature, Congress, and state and federal agencies.

Our member firms generate hundreds of millions of dollars in annual fees and employ thousands of highly skilled professionals across the state. Our members design the transportation systems, water infrastructure, public facilities, and private development projects that support Minnesota’s economic stability and quality of life.

Public policy directly affects how firms compete, contract, hire, invest, and manage risk. ACEC Minnesota ensures that engineering expertise is represented in those policy decisions.

ACEC Minnesota's 2026 Legislative Priorities:

Infrastructure Investment & Delivery Reform

We advocate for bonding structure, capital investment, professional delivery frameworks, and balanced state-local coordination to allow engineering firms to plan and invest with confidence.

QBS & Procurement Policy

We reinforce statutory alignment with QBS principles, support procurement modernization, and promote risk-balanced contract frameworks.

Professional Licensure Protection

We monitor statutory changes, protect title distinctions, and support modernization that maintains public trust and professional accountability.
