new text begin
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, if layoffs of employees of executive branch
state agencies are necessary due to an anticipated budget deficit, each executive branch state
agency must make personnel reductions so that economies of the state outside of the
metropolitan area, as defined in section 473.121, subdivision 2, are not disproportionately
affected by the layoffs. "Executive branch state agency" has the meaning given in section
16A.011, subdivision 12a.
