MN Legislature sets fast pace for new policies
Democratic lawmakers have aimed to use Minnesota’s trifecta to push previously stalled bills into law since the session began in January.
The 2022 midterm election results gave the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party control of all three branches of state government for the first time in nearly a decade, allowing Democratic policies to move forward without support from Republicans.
Gov. Tim Walz said the DFL-led Legislature would focus on issues such as public safety, climate change and “defending the rights of individuals” in his acceptance speech for the 2022 election.
Although the DFL holds slim majorities in both the House and Senate, Democrats have seen early successes in advancing bills less than halfway into this year’s session.
