Legislative Update- April 24, 2023

Dear Neighbors,

I hope this email finds you well. The House continues to move steadily, and we’ve completed our first week of passing budget bills: Higher Education, Legacy, Environment and Clean Energy, Housing, Veterans, K-12 Education,  Agriculture, Transportation, and Early Childhood. 

As the chair of the House State and Local Government Committee, I presented the State and Local Government portion of our Elections, State and Local Government budget. It was an honor to work and develop legislation with committee members on both sides of the aisle; through compromise, shared conversations, and bipartisan collaboration. We passed the bill on Tuesday last week, which invests in core government functions, like cybersecurity and IT infrastructure, that have been underinvested in over the past twenty years, so Minnesotans can be better served with greater efficiencies. 

The next step for our budget bills is a conference committee, in which we’ll meet with the Senators to iron out differences within each version of a bill. Some of those have already been appointed by Speaker Hortman and Senate Majority Leader Dziedzic and work will begin on those very soon. 

Our state constitution requires us to adjourn by May 22, and we’re fulfilling our duty expeditiously to deliver the results Minnesotans expect of their legislature.
