2024 Minnesota Legislative Session Wrap
Key points for Chamber member businesses
Understanding recent legislative changes is crucial for staying informed and adapting to new regulations. We've recapped it for you!
The Minnesota Legislative session ended on May 20. Given the significance of the bills passed, it is vital to understand their implications. The Minnesota Legislature operates on a biennium, meaning bills can carry over from odd-numbered years to the next year. However, if bills do not pass by the end of the two-year session, they must be reintroduced in the next cycle. In the 2023-2024 biennium, 11,023 bills were introduced, with approximately 150 passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
