An Update from the MN Special Legislative Session

The Minnesota Legislature has until the end of the month to finalize the budget. The agriculture and transportation bills have passed both chambers and are awaiting the governor’s signature. The Senate passed the environment bill Tuesday night and the House will take it up later today. Lawmakers must finish the state budget before June 30 to avoid a government shutdown.
