2025 LEGISLATIVE REVIEW
Feature
The 2025 legislative session was one for the history books. Following the end of the previous DFL trifecta, the Minnesota House became evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, an event that has occurred only once before in state history, while the Senate saw a narrow one-seat majority. The session faced a delayed start due to a three-week boycott, and despite the May 19th deadline, final budget bills weren’t passed until June 9th and 10th, narrowly avoiding a government shutdown. While key Chamber priorities such as the passage of a bonding bill and modifications to Paid Family Medical Leave did not progress, there are still many successes to celebrate. 2025 LEGISLATIVE REVIEW Hear from local legislators about the 2025 legislative session and the impacts to the business community.
