Summary:
The Housing, Agriculture, and Tourism Subcommittee met for its final meeting of the session and heard two bills. HB 1245, the Hunger-Free Campus Pilot Program, would create a pilot program in the Department of Agriculture for selected public postsecondary institutions with high Pell Grant populations to form hunger task forces, help students enroll in SNAP, provide on-campus food assistance, and develop meal-credit donation programs. The bill also directs OPPAGA to study food insecurity at public postsecondary institutions and recommend policy changes. Representative Franklin spoke in support, emphasizing student food insecurity and the impact of inflation on college completion. The bill had no amendments, no public opposition, and passed unanimously.
The committee then heard HB 983 on homeowners associations, which would expand enforcement and oversight tools related to HOAs, including allowing local law enforcement and sheriffs to investigate, inspect, and audit associations, adding realtor disclosure requirements, and revising recall provisions to make it easier for homeowners to remove boards. An amendment was adopted to prohibit nominating committees in HOAs, aligning the statute with condominium law and preventing those committees from blocking candidates. Public testimony on the amendment and bill was in support, including from a Miami-Dade Sheriff representative and others. Members from both parties praised the bill as a homeowner-rights measure, and the bill passed unanimously as amended.
After the bills, members offered closing remarks thanking Chair Salsman, the vice chair, ranking member, staff, and each other for a collaborative session. Several members highlighted the committee’s work on housing, agriculture, tourism, and the hemp work group, and the chair reflected that the committee process was intended to be member-driven and inclusive. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary:
The Assembly Appropriations Committee met on July 9, 2025, with a quorum present and opened by taking up its consent and suspense calendars. Several Senate bills were moved on consent, including SB 255, 361, 385, 387, 428, 602, 648, 652, and 693, along with SB 78 on a separate due-pass motion. The suspense calendar was then deemed approved without further discussion.
The committee next heard AB 1533, a claims bill authorizing a General Fund appropriation of $672 million to pay state claims, including $600 to the Franchise Tax Board and $72 million to the DMV for stale claims. Assemblymember Wicks presented the bill as one of the annual claims measures, and the Department of Finance and Department of General Services both supported it. Assemblymember Dixon raised concerns about the age of claims, the cost and efficiency of the process, and whether the state could improve how it verifies and pays claims more quickly.
After brief public comment was invited, the committee held a roll call vote on AB 1533 and the bill was moved out of committee. The meeting then adjourned after a late-arriving member was added to the roll call for the consent calendar and AB 1533.

Summary:
The Committee on Culture and the Arts met on March 12 at 10:00 a.m. and heard two measures concerning Hawaiian observances. SB 614 SD1 would establish La Kua as Hawaiian Independence Day and SB 1051 SD1 would relate to Hawaiian History Month. No members of the public testified in person or on Zoom for either bill, but the chair read into the record written testimony and comments, including support from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Kingdom of Hawaiian Islands, Kumukahi Health and Wellness, the Hawaiian Civics Club, and several individuals, along with comments from state departments such as Human Resources and Budget and Finance.
After recessing for decision-making, the committee voted to advance SB 614 SD1 with amendments and to further adjust the date to July 1st. The vote was unanimous among members present, with Chair and Vice Chair voting aye and Representatives Garrett and Lee also voting aye; Representatives Sayama and Roda were excused. The committee then took up SB 1051 SD1 and similarly recommended it be passed with amendments, also changing the date to July 1st.
The vote on SB 1051 SD1 was likewise adopted without opposition, with the same excused members noted. After both measures were approved for advancement, the committee adjourned.

Summary:
The Senate Rules and Administration Select Subcommittee on Federal Impacts on Minnesotans and Economic Stability met on February 20, 2026, to hear from Minnesota Management and Budget State Budget Director Anna Mingi about federal funding changes affecting the state budget. Before testimony began, Senator Rasmusson objected to a draft committee report that had been prepared in advance of the hearing, arguing it was inappropriate to summarize testimony before it occurred. The chair responded that nonpartisan staff had prepared the draft from Mingi’s submitted presentation and could revise it after the hearing if needed.
Director Mingi explained that federal dollars make up more than one-third of state spending and support about 650 federal awards totaling over $23 billion this year, with more than $15 billion supporting state entitlement programs. She said the federal funding environment had changed significantly since January 2025 through executive orders, pauses, terminations, new grant conditions, delayed awards, and the July 2025 passage of H.R. 1, the federal reconciliation bill. Her main focus was H.R. 1’s effects on health care and food assistance, including work requirements for some adults, changes to eligibility for legal non-citizens, limits on retroactive Medicaid coverage and directed payments, new limits on provider taxes, and SNAP changes that shift some benefit and administrative costs to the state and counties. She estimated H.R. 1 would reduce federal funds to state-administered programs by about $327 million in the current biennium and $1.6 billion in the next, with additional costs to hospitals, counties, and other partners beyond the budget horizon.
Members asked follow-up questions about whether the estimates were relative to the forecast and whether federal Medicaid funding would still rise over time. Mingi said the estimates were based on the November forecast baseline and that Medicaid federal dollars would likely continue growing overall, though the law still creates significant losses relative to prior projections. Senator Rasmusson emphasized that point in remarks to the committee. The discussion then shifted to federal grant pauses and cancellations: MMB’s tracker showed about six awards on hold totaling roughly $491 million, 13 confirmed cancellations across areas including clean energy, education, food assistance, and public health, and additional threatened or litigated cuts not included in those totals. Mingi identified two canceled violence-prevention-related grants, including a FEMA public safety grant and a justice reinvestment grant, and noted that CDC had recently moved to cancel or seek cancellation of several Minnesota public health grants, including a $65 million public health infrastructure award.
