Language governing State Register updated

Minnesota’s official publication of state government, the State Register, will receive an update to the laws governing its publication.

Sponsored by Rep. Duane Sauke (DFL-Rochester) and Sen. Mark Koran (R-North Branch), a new law reduces the number of copies of each issue that must be provided free of charge to the Legislative Reference Library from 10 to 1. An electronic copy must also be available through the State of Minnesota’s main website. A requirement that a copy be provided to a designated library in each county throughout the stat is eliminated.

The law, effective Aug. 1, 2020, also changes the date when an annual report on the events held at the Capitol building and associated revenues is due from Aug. 1 to Sept. 1.
