Summary:
Members met to review a budget bill agreement using a nonpartisan spreadsheet and summary materials. Chairs and members thanked fiscal, research, revisers, and agency staff for the collaborative process, noting the bill had been difficult and that the final product reflected compromise. The chair also said only minor technical changes were expected before final enactment, and the spreadsheet walkthrough was then turned over to fiscal staff.
Fiscal staff explained that the agreement met the overall budget target and walked through major human services provisions. Key items included nursing facility payment changes, including a phased PDPM change, APS inflation, modified single-bed incentives, and a CPI-U capped payment cap; a nursing facility surcharge; workforce standards board rule costs; continuation of certain nursing facility property tax rates; regulation of for-profit acquisitions of nursing homes and assisted living facilities; repurposing assisted living special project funds; funding the SEIU self-directed worker agreement; CFSS reimbursement in acute care hospital settings; and multiple disability waiver rate and authorization changes, including CPI-U inflation caps, waiver authorization reforms, and a waiver reimagined advisory task force.
The agreement also included family residential service rate increases, a temporary extension of customized living disproportionate share payments, tribal eligibility for targeted case management, positive supports training changes, out-of-home respite modifications, swimming lessons as an allowable service for certain children with disabilities, a provisional EID provider license, and program integrity services funded by licensing fee increases. Additional provisions covered MinnChoices studies and assumed savings, behavioral health fund changes, substance use disorder treatment billing and rate changes, supportive recovery housing, housing support supplemental rates for specific providers, disability determinations, enteral nutrition payment timing, temporary funding for Boundary Waters Care Center, several one-time human services grants, senior nutrition funding, and grant reductions and extensions. No formal vote was described in the transcript; the discussion focused on explaining the agreement and its fiscal effects.

Summary:
The meeting focused on delays in finalizing major budget bills, especially the health and human services bills, which speakers said are highly complex and require extensive review by the revisor, legislative chairs, and agency staff. Transportation was described as nearly complete, with technical language issues slowing its posting. Leaders said the special session agreement would not be negotiated until the bills are posted in final form, and that the agreement will likely specify the items of business for the session.
Speakers emphasized that the extra time is being used to carefully review the legislation and avoid mistakes, noting the bills cover large portions of the state budget and affect vulnerable populations. They also said they want to preserve some previously agreed-to technical, non-money provisions from the tax bill. There was discussion of unresolved policy items, including a question about a non-compete rollback, which was said not to be under discussion.
On timing, one speaker said the special session was unlikely to happen the next day, gave only a small chance of Thursday, and said Saturday was the most realistic target. The urgency was tied to avoiding additional layoff notices for state employees before June 10. Leaders said the special session would ideally last one day, with enough votes to pass bills and suspend rules in both chambers, and noted that the tied legislature has made cooperation more necessary than in the prior session, when a majority-minority conflict led to a long filibuster.

- have the closest split in any legislature maybe ever, with a tie in the House and one vote in the Senate
Summary:
A state leader briefed reporters on ongoing budget negotiations, saying talks were still active and that he remained optimistic a responsible Minnesota budget could be completed soon. He emphasized the legislature’s narrow margins, the need to finish the remaining bills, and the goal of producing a budget that leaves money on the bottom line, invests in priorities that improve Minnesotans’ lives, and reduces a projected structural imbalance in 2028-29.
A major focus was the risk of a government shutdown and the possibility of a special session. He said state agencies, including MMB, had already prepared contingency plans, with essential 24/7 operations such as corrections and state patrol continuing if a shutdown occurred. He noted that if no agreement is reached by Monday, he is contractually obligated to send out more than 28,000 potential layoff notices, which he said would create unnecessary uncertainty and chaos. He said he wanted a one-day special session and that the bills had already gone to revisers, with the remaining work centered on final amendments, votes, and agreement on procedure.
When asked about policy sticking points, he declined to go into specifics because the negotiations were fragile, but acknowledged that the talks covered a wide range of issues, including transportation funding, undocumented immigrants, and non-competes. He said the challenge was not one issue alone but the fact that every legislator could effectively become a veto point on the overall deal. He described the process as difficult but collaborative, said the bills were nearly finished and would be posted for public review, and expressed confidence that lawmakers would reach a budget agreement in the next few days.
