The Senate Education Committee put its stamp of approval on the concept Tuesday.
The bill commits 16.3 million in state money over the next three years toward establishing a university campus in one of Minnesota's fastest growing cities.
It would specialize in research, technology and business degrees. The authorizing legislation requires planners to avoid duplicating educational offerings at nearby schools and other University of Minnesota campuses.
The bill grew out of a higher education task force that recommended a stronger higher education presence in downtown Rochester, near the world-renowned Mayo Clinic.
