SAINT PAUL- On March 24th, 2016, the Minnesota House of Representatives passed a bill, HF3178, that would take a portion of the Unemployment Insurance Fund surplus, and provide a refund to businesses throughout the state. Governor Dayton signed the bill into law later in the day on March 24th. Rep. Pat Garofalo (R-Farmington) sponsored this legislation in the House of Representatives.
"I am proud that we were able to join together and enact this relief for businesses across the state of Minnesota," said Rep. Pat Garofalo. "This will provide employers with the opportunity to invest more in their businesses, and create additional well-paying jobs throughout the state as a result."
