The 2024 legislative session has wrapped up and this year we built on the success of the transformative 2023 session to help Minnesotans thrive.

The Human Service Policy [ [link removed] ] legislation passed unanimously. As chair of the Human Services Policy Committee, I was proud to be the author of the final bill and was pleased the bill passed with such bipartisan support. It shows how we all share goals to help the most vulnerable Minnesotans.
