Summary:
Legislative leaders said work on a special session was still ongoing, with no date set but a possibility of being called soon by the governor. They said negotiations had not broken down and were continuing in a bipartisan way, though there were still significant differences to resolve. Leaders also said that if a special session is announced, members would likely be called back on short notice, with enough time to return from their districts.
Several bills were discussed as still being finalized, including the tax, health, human services, transportation, bonding, and non-compete measures. On health and human services, the main unresolved issue was how to handle the undocumented immigrant health insurance provision; one option discussed was moving it into a separate bill, but only if there were a guaranteed contingency to ensure passage and enactment. On taxes, leaders said the current skinny-down version had stripped out several provisions they wanted, including data center-related changes and sustainable aviation fuel language, so final language would determine whether they could support it. They also said discussions on a roughly $700 million bonding bill were still active, with no guarantees.
On the non-compete ban, leaders said changes were still being discussed with committee chairs and the commissioner, and that their caucus wanted changes to Minnesota’s current policy. They also said they were not sure whether members were taking per diem during the delay, and one leader said he personally would not take it in a special session if the work was not done. Overall, the tone of the discussion emphasized continued negotiation and a preference for professional, cooperative talks rather than conflict.

Summary:
Leaders said final drafting was still pending on several major bills, especially the health and human services measures and, to a lesser extent, transportation. They explained that the revisor and nonpartisan staff must circulate lengthy drafts among House and Senate chairs and agencies for technical review, which is causing delays. Because the special session agreement is traditionally negotiated only after the bills are posted in final form, they said the timing of the special session is still being worked out, along with the order of bills and whether some previously agreed-to technical, non-money provisions can be restored.
The discussion emphasized that the bills represent a large share of the state budget and affect vulnerable populations, so leaders said they want more time to review the language carefully and avoid mistakes. They also said they are trying to preserve some bipartisan technical agreements, while noting that a standalone or rolled-back approach to undocumented health care and a rollback of the non-compete ban were not being actively pursued at the leadership level. One leader said the work on health and human services has been fiercely negotiated and should ultimately earn public support.
On timing, the best estimate was that the special session would likely begin Saturday, with tomorrow unlikely and Thursday only a very small possibility. Leaders said they are trying to finish before June 10 to avoid additional layoff notices for state employees; they noted that 750 to 950 nurses already received notices and that 10,000 to 20,000 employees could be affected by another round. They said the special session agreement will likely limit the session to one day, and they discussed the vote thresholds needed: 68 in the House and 34 in the Senate to pass bills, plus 90 in the House and 45 in the Senate to suspend the rules and speed proceedings.
No formal votes were taken in this exchange. The speakers also reflected on procedure, saying they want reasonable debate without late-night floor sessions, and contrasted this year’s tied chambers and bipartisan cooperation with last year’s prolonged filibuster and partisan conflict.
