Press Conference: Republican Members Introduce Tax Relief Bills - 03/02/26
Transcript Highlights:
- I'm State Senator Mark Johnson, Republican Leader in the Minnesota Senate.
- Senator Kunesh. Thank you, Leader Johnson. Uh, my name is Senator Michael Kunesh.
- And up next will be Senator Housley. Thank you, Senator Kroon. Good bill. I like it.

Summary:
Minnesota Senate Republicans held a press conference unveiling a package of affordability and tax-relief bills aimed at property taxes, taxes on tips and overtime, and vehicle registration costs. Leader Mark Johnson said the proposals were meant to counter rising costs for wages, homeownership, and driving, and argued that Democrats’ policies had made life more expensive. Several senators echoed that theme, saying Minnesotans need immediate relief and that the state has room to act because of a reported surplus.
Senator Michael Kunesh described a property-tax cap bill that would limit increases for cities and counties to inflation plus 50% of population growth, with higher increases requiring voter approval. He said constituents, including seniors, a disabled veteran, and young people, are seeing unsustainable property-tax hikes, and he argued that state and federal mandates have driven local costs. In response to a question about added county workload from federal SNAP and Medicaid changes, he said the solution is both to pause new mandates and to cap property-tax growth.
Senator Karin Housley outlined a proposal to end state taxes on tips and overtime, with deductions up to $25,000 for tips and $12,500 for overtime, phased out at $150,000 for individuals and $300,000 for families. She said the measure would help workers keep more of what they earn and would not cost small businesses directly. Senator John Jasinski proposed rolling back vehicle registration tab fees to pre-2023 levels, saying Minnesota’s fees are far higher than neighboring states and that the change would save drivers money over time. Senator Julia Coleman also supported the package, saying the bills would provide practical relief for families facing high housing, driving, and work-related costs. No votes were taken; the event ended with questions from reporters about fiscal impacts, offsets, and whether the proposals would worsen the state’s structural budget imbalance.

Summary:
The Senate convened under call, completed prayer and the pledge, and the secretary confirmed a quorum was present. The chamber then adopted the committee reports and gave second reading to Senate Files 3589, 3597, 1251, 3402, and 3644. On the introduction calendar, Senate File 4065 was noted as being referred to the Committee on Transportation.
During motions and resolutions, the Senate approved several committee re-referrals: SF 2634 was moved from Education Policy to Education Finance, SF 3238 from State and Local Government to Human Services, SF 3755 from Health and Human Services to Human Services, SF 3780 from Health and Human Services to Human Services, and SF 3946 from Judiciary and Public Safety to Transportation. In each case, the author or sponsoring senator said the change had been discussed with the relevant committee chairs, and the motions prevailed without recorded opposition.
Under announcements, Senator Pappas invited members to the retiring room for the annual Purim hamantaschen cookie. The Senate then adjourned on motion of Senator Murphy until Wednesday, March 4, at 11:00 a.m.
