Background

[edit]

This was the first legislature to be fully DFL-controlled since the88th Minnesota Legislaturein 2013–15. During the first session (2023), the body passed a number of major reforms to Minnesota law, including requiringpaid leave,banningnoncompete agreements,cannabis legalization, increased spending on infrastructure and environmental issues, tax modifications, codifyingabortion rights,universalfree school meals,and universalgun background checksamong others.[1]TheStar Tribunecalled it "one of the most consequential" ever in Minnesota, while GovernorTim Walzstated that it was the "most productive session in Minnesota history."[1]Some journalists compared the session to the67th Minnesota Legislature,which from 1971–1973 enacted major changes to school finance known as the "Minnesota Miracle".[1][2]

The second legislative session (2024) began in February. The primary agenda for even-year sessions traditionally centered on passing a public construction bill and introducing new policy measures, given the $72 billion two-year budget was adopted in the previous session.[3]A central task for the session was the assembly of a public construction bill to finance infrastructure projects.[4]There were legislative efforts to refinethe state's newly legalized adult-use cannabismarket to streamline the licensing process and to provide clarity to businesses regarding employeedrug testing.[5][6]Other significant issues were the role and responsibilities ofschool resource officers,banning shadow noncompetes, establishing unemployment benefits for striking workers, and requiringcompanies to post salary ranges for jobs.[7][8][9][10]

At the MinnesotaChamber of Commerce's session priorities gathering in St. Paul in early 2024, the state's four legislative leaders expressed opposition to changing the law to allow strong beer in grocery stores and a constitutional amendment for a full-time Legislature.[11][12]A "sanctuary state"bill to limit state cooperation withICEwas introduced, but it was not considered.[13]

Major events

[edit]
  • January 3, 2023: On the first day of the 93rd Minnesota Legislature, new legislators weresworn inin person for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.[14]
  • April 19, 2023: GovernorTim Walzdelivers his State of the State address to a joint sitting of the Legislature.[15]
  • May 20, 2024: The 2024 session concluded with the passage of a 1,430-page "mega-omnibus bill" (HF 5247), barely meeting a midnight constitutional deadline for legislative business. The bill's text faced vocal opposition and significant amounts of attempted amendments from Republicans throughout the session. It passed both chambers along party lines only a few minutes before the end of session.[16][17]

2023 session

[edit]

In the 2023 legislative session in Minnesota, state lawmakers faced the task of creating a two-year state budget with a $17.5 billion surplus, significantly larger than in previous years. This led to a budget of $71.5 billion, a 40% increase over the previous period. Key financial decisions included $3 billion in tax relief measures, substantial investments in infrastructure totaling $2.6 billion, and significant expansions in social programs.

State funding for education increased by over $2.2 billion.[113]The increase updated the per pupil funding formula and enhanced financial predictability for districts.[114]The reform also tackled the long-standing issue of thecross subsidyfor special education andEnglish learner programs.[115]Early childhood education received substantial attention, with $300 million allocated towards early education initiatives, managed by the newly created Department of Children, Youth and Families.[116]This department consolidates several programs previously spread across different state agencies. Curricular changes included the addition of required courses in civics, personal finance,[117]Holocaustandgenocide studies,[118]andethnic studies.[119][120]The Legislature also prohibited highly realistic active shooter drills, replacing them with violence prevention training.[121]The reforms also provided for free breakfast and lunch for all students[122]and mandates the provision ofmenstrual productsandNaloxonein schools.[123][124][125]

The $3 billion tax bill was one of the largest omnibus bills in the 2023 session. Components of the bill included rebate checks for 2.5 million Minnesotans,[126]designed to return a portion of the surplus to taxpayers, but less than initially proposed by Governor Tim Walz.[127]The legislation introduced a substantial child and working family tax credit intended to cut childhood poverty rates by a third, benefiting low-income families with phased-out credits based on income levels.[128]Additionally, the bill made strides towardsprogressive taxationby eliminating state income tax onSocial Securityfor over 75% of recipients.[129][130]Other notable tax increases included a global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) tax on businesses with global earnings[131]and regional sales tax hikes in the Twin Cities metro area for housing and transportation initiatives.[132]Moreover, the bill increased funding for local government aid,[133]provided a boost to property tax refunds,[134]and revived a historic tax credit for building renovations.[135]It also expanded a film production tax credit to attract more film and television production to Minnesota.[136]

2024 session

[edit]

The recreationalcannabis lawsaw a substantial update, introducing a vetted lottery system for distributing licenses and allowing pre-approved licenses for early cultivation to ensure product availability when retail stores open next spring. Additionally, the prohibition on serving THC and alcoholic beverages within five hours was replaced with a rule against servingintoxicantsto already intoxicated patrons.[137]Formedical cannabis,patients can now assign registered caregivers to grow up to eight plants on their behalf.[138]

In transportation, labor, and housing, the session addressed the lawsuits against the Minneapolis 2040 comprehensive plan and limited the use of environmental laws to challenge future city plans.[139]Aimed at combating worker misclassification, legislation now defines independent contractor qualifications and increases penalties for fraud.[140]The session also set statewide standards forride-sharedriver pay rates, preempting local control and ensuring increased pay for drivers.[141][142]

Regarding public safety, the legislature allowed limited use ofprone restraintsin schools and increasing penalties for gunstraw purchases.[143]Binary triggers,which allow firearms to fire on both trigger pull and release, were banned.[144]

In social media and child protection, Minnesota became the first state to ban profiting fromsocial mediaaccounts featuring children, requiring profits to be set aside for the children when they turn 18, with exceptions forchild actorsand models.[145][146]

The session allocated $24 million foremergency medical services(EMS) ingreater Minnesota,$6 million for a pilot program in the Northeast, and created a new Office of Emergency Medical Services.[147]Consumer protection saw the passage of the 'Taylor Swift bill,' mandating ticket sellers list full prices upfront, and the Debt Fairness Act, which bans reportingmedical debttocredit bureausand prevents withholding treatment due to unpaid debt.[148][149]

Environmental and health legislation included requiring consultation between theMet Counciland theMnDOTon light rail projects, prioritizing land sales within reservation boundaries to Indian reservations, and allocating $5.8 million for nitrate pollution mitigation.[150][151]The state aims to reduce nitrogen fertilizer purchases by 25% by 2030.[152]Funding was also provided forATVtrail construction and ice rescue operations.[153][154]

Broadband development legislation prioritized grant applications from organizations adhering to specific labor rules, though it faced opposition from the Minnesota Cable Communications Association. Health and education sawmidwivesbeing allowed to administer certain medications,[155]permitting Native Americansmudging ceremoniesin schools,[156]and requiring health plans to cover medically necessarygender-affirming carewith some religious exemptions.[157]Schools must implementcell phone policiesby March 2025, andbook bansbased on viewpoint were prohibited.[158][159]

Energy and waste management legislation required producers to contribute to state recycling programs and aimed to speed up permitting for clean energy projects.[160]The Voting Rights Act added state protections against voter suppression and mandated courts to support voters.[161]Lastly, legislation regulated and banned many so-calledjunk fees,requiring businesses to disclose the full price of products or services upfront.[162]

The African American Family Preservation Act, renamed the Layla Jackson Law, focused initially on addressing the disproportionate number of African American children affected by child welfare practices but was expanded to include any child "disproportionately encountered, engaged, or identified in the child welfare system." The broader scope means that nearly all foster children in Minnesota will receive enhanced protections, similar to those afforded under the federalIndian Child Welfare Act,which applies only to Native American children.

Several key bills did not make it through the 2024 session. These include the Equal Rights Amendment, which aimed to protect gender rights and included provisions for abortion access and gender identity protections, passed the House but did not come to a Senate vote.[163]Sports bettinglegislation was not finalized before the deadline,[164]nor was a measure to allow strongbeer sales in grocery stores.[165]Additional measures that did not pass include: requiring cities to allowduplexesand triplexes in single-family zones;[166]preventing landlords from rejecting tenants based ongovernment rent vouchers;[167][168]making Metropolitan Council members elected instead of appointed;[169]localranked choice votingexpansion;[170][171]establishing a statewide $15minimum wage;[172]and, allowingphysician-assisted suicidein certain cases.[173]
