  • This is a tax conformity bill to move the Trump accounts, removing the law that excludes from gross income
Keywords: 919, house, all
Summary: Representative Joy moved House File 3754, describing it as a tax conformity bill related to “Trump accounts.” He said the bill would remove a state law excluding up to $2,500 in employer contributions to those accounts from gross income, and argued it had little fiscal cost and should be advanced to signal conformity to the federal government. No witnesses or public testimony were offered, and there were no substantive member questions. Representative Joy briefly closed on the bill, saying he appreciated the hearing and hoped it would be included in the year-end tax bill. The chair then renewed the motion that House File 3754 be included in the omnibus tax bill. No vote or final action was stated in the transcript excerpt.

Summary: The Senate Elections Committee met on February 6, 2025, and first considered the reappointment of Steven Swanson to the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board. Swanson described his background in legal aid, lobbying, judging, and international rule-of-law work, and said he wanted to continue serving the public. Committee members praised his experience and discussed the importance of campaign finance oversight, including preventing corporate participation in Minnesota elections. Senator Wosinski moved to recommend Swanson’s confirmation, and the motion was adopted. The committee then heard Senate File 529, a proposed constitutional amendment to state that elections shall be free, fair, and equal, and that no civil or military power may interfere with the free exercise of the right to vote. Senator Dibble presented the bill as a way to strengthen voting rights and provide a constitutional basis to challenge voter suppression, gerrymandering, and unfair campaign practices. Testimony in support came from David Fischer of Clean Elections Minnesota and Jean Massie of Fair Vote Minnesota, both of whom argued the amendment would protect access to voting, increase confidence in elections, and align Minnesota with other states that have similar language. Members discussed whether the amendment’s broad language could invite judicial interpretation or affect future election laws. Senator Koran questioned how the proposal would improve Minnesota’s already high turnout, while Senator Grant raised concerns that the terms “free, fair, and equal” were undefined and could shift power to the courts. Senator Lucero proposed an oral amendment to add “ensuring one eligible citizen, one vote” after the word “equal,” saying it would address concerns about future voter ID laws. The amendment was restated by counsel and discussed, with Senator Dibble saying it did not significantly harm the bill but suggesting it might imply a requirement he did not intend. The transcript ends during discussion of that oral amendment, and no final vote on the bill itself is shown.

  • As a standard, with any piece of policymaking, that product may change as it moves through our process
  • the possibility that there may be other districts in the current map that may have been drawn to conform
Summary: The Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting held its first meeting, established a quorum, and opened with remarks from the chair outlining the committee’s purpose and scope. The chair said the committee will focus only on congressional redistricting, will not take public comment at this introductory meeting, and may consider whether to propose a new congressional map ahead of the 2026 session. He emphasized that the work would rely on the 2020 census data, the current congressional map, and the House’s map-drawing software, and he stressed transparency, record retention, and compliance with constitutional prohibitions on drawing districts to favor or disfavor a party or incumbent. House outside counsel Andy Bartos then gave an educational presentation on redistricting basics and legal standards. He distinguished reapportionment from redistricting, explained that Florida was apportioned 28 congressional seats after the 2020 census, and reviewed the one-person, one-vote rule, noting that congressional districts must be drawn with near-exact population equality. He also described census geography and how counties, tracts, block groups, and blocks are used to build districts, and explained that congressional redistricting follows the ordinary legislative process rather than the special process used for state legislative districts. Bartos also covered contiguity, explaining that districts must be one connected piece and that mere point-touching is not enough, while bodies of water within a district do not necessarily break contiguity. No questions were asked after the presentation, no votes were taken, and no public testimony was heard. The meeting ended after the chair thanked attendees and said the committee would meet again the following week.

Summary: The Appropriations Conference Committee on Transportation, Tourism, and Economic Development/Transportation and Economic Development convened, organized itself by electing Senator DiCeglie as chair and Representative Schofield as vice chair, and noted that Representative Schofield was excused from the meeting. Members were directed to conference materials on the meeting webpage, including the budget spreadsheet, projects, proviso, back of the bill, implementing bill, and conforming bill, which show each chamber’s starting positions.

A separate offer was also presented for general revenue local funding initiatives, with black-highlighted rows marking the Senate position.

Representative Snyder responded that the House would review the offer and continue working under Chair Schofield’s leadership to resolve budget issues and move toward a balanced, responsible budget. No public comment was offered. The meeting was then adjourned, and members were told to watch for the next meeting notice, with the committee now on one-hour notice.
