I think Massachusetts has already done this. I hope this passes in
Minnesota and that many states will follow:

The Massachusetts case is interesting. OOS "people" spent a ton of
money to get the open document format passed in the state and signed
into law. It was thought (on the internet anyway) this would be the
start of widespread adoption of OpenOffice (etc) until Microsoft
released there own ODF and sold Massachusetts one of the largest
Office 2007 licenses to date.

It looks like Minneotas law will be the same thing.
