Page added to House website for special session working group information

With a special session needed for the Legislature to finish its work, it can be hard to follow what is going on in working groups.

To help, a page has been created on the House website to track documents, such as spreadsheets, policy trackers and bill drafts.

Working group meetings are to be posted on the combined legislative schedule.

House leaders said May 22 that lawmakers were nearing agreements on unfinished bills.

At a May 23 signing of the pension law, Gov. Tim Walz said he is “very confident” a special session will be completed before June 1 when preparations for a partial state government shutdown would begin.
