Minn. Stat. § 4.51

This section applies after a state general election in which a person who is not the current governor is elected to take office as the next governor. The commissioner of administration must request a transfer from the general fund contingent account of an amount equal to 1.5 percent of the amount appropriated for operation of the Office of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor for the current fiscal year. This request is subject to the review and advice of the Legislative Advisory Commission pursuant to section 3.30 . If the transfer is approved, the commissioner of administration must make this amount available to the governor-elect before he or she takes office. The commissioner must provide office space for the governor-elect and for any employees the governor-elect hires.
