The governor was treated for dehydration, said Bob Hume, the senior adviser to the governor.
Dayton fainted during a volunteer recognition event for state Rep. JoAnn Ward, DFL-Woodbury.
Jaime Tincher, the governor's chief of staff, said in a news release that the event was hot and crowded, and Dayton fainted after feeling increasing pressure in his lower back.
The governor, 69, had a spinal fusion at Mayo Clinic in December, his second back procedure in recent years.
