This year’s legislative session started Jan. 5 and is scheduled to adjourn May 17. Most odd-number years are considered budgeting years for the state government, but that does not preclude bills related to bonding or policy from being passed. Below are bills on which local legislators are listed as chief authors. Not all of the bills will become law, or may not make it past committees. This list is to illustrate what local state legislators are doing at the Capitol this year. The full text of each bill can be found by searching its file number on the state legislature’s website: leg.mn.gov.
Rep. Sondra Erickson (R-Princeton)
