Summary: The Senate Ways and Means Committee met in executive session on Proposed Substitute Senate Bill 5998, the operating budget, and received a staff briefing on 39 proposed amendments. The amendments covered a wide range of budget items, including technical corrections; court truancy funding; public defense; humanities and reading programs; shellfish program audit funding; tribal and cultural resource planning; agritourism; transmission authority implementation; paid family and medical leave; developmental disabilities services; nursing home rate add-ons; TANF workforce services; food bank language; oral health access; behavioral health and partnership access line funding; health technology assessment funding; sexual assault nurse examiner training; Department of Corrections security measures; child welfare staffing; pediatric interim care centers; child care, local effort assistance, and transition to kindergarten; range rider funding; Chinese American history month materials; Running Start; retiree health subsidies; people transportation language; charter school enrichment; arts grants; and a tribal liaison at the Eastern Washington State Historical Society. The committee adopted several amendments, including the technical packet, public defense savings correction, humanities reading program funding, shellfish audit funding, cultural resource model ordinance work, transmission authority implementation funding, oral health foundation support, health technology assessment funding, governor errata corrections, sexual assault nurse examiner training, DOC policy language on canine use, child welfare staffing correction, people transportation language, charter school enrichment reallocation to transition to kindergarten, and tribal liaison funding. Some amendments were withdrawn, including the truancy funding increase, Blake-related public defense funding, the DD waiver wait list expansion, one nursing home add-on restoration, one LEA-related amendment, and the DOC K-9 minimum camp amendment. Other amendments were rejected, including agritourism, paid leave study, DD waiver expansion, nursing home add-on restoration, range rider funding, Chinese American history month materials, Running Start restoration, and arts grant restoration. Several amendments drew substantive debate over budget priorities and fiscal sustainability, especially those involving developmental disabilities services, long-term care, child care, Running Start, LEA enhancement, and the use of one-time funds versus ongoing obligations. Supporters argued for restoring services, protecting vulnerable populations, and funding programs with strong public benefit; opponents emphasized the need to balance the budget, avoid ongoing commitments without stable revenue, and reserve some issues for collective bargaining or future negotiations. The committee ultimately rolled the adopted amendments into a new substitute version of SB 5998 and voted to send it to the Rules Committee with a do pass recommendation, subject to signatures. Several members stated they would vote no on the budget, while the chair noted the process had been collaborative.

Summary: The committee approved the March 3 minutes and then heard a presentation from the Minnesota Judicial Branch on House File 3874, which was laid over for possible inclusion in a finance bill. State Court Administrator Jeff Shorba and Chief Judge Michael Fritz testified in support of a supplemental funding request focused on judicial branch safety and security, along with funding to cover the employer share of Minnesota Paid Leave costs. Shorba said the branch is seeking help because it did not receive funding for paid leave in the last session and is having to hold positions open to absorb the cost. The safety and security request included five parts: personal data protection for judges and court administrators, home security, two additional staff positions for threat assessment and coordination, security for the chief justice at public events, and a revived courthouse security grant program for counties. Testimony emphasized rising threats and incidents involving judges and court staff, including examples of doxing, home surveillance, and threats involving litigants, and cited increases in reported incidents, threats, and disturbances. Fritz said the branch’s current response system is stretched and that more law-enforcement-trained staff would improve coordination and response. Members questioned why the judicial branch should receive state funding for paid leave when private employers must absorb the cost, and Shorba responded that the branch was excluded from end-of-session funding decisions and that the mandate should be funded for all branches of government. Members also asked about the threat-response process and whether local law enforcement should be used more directly. Another concern raised was whether State Patrol troopers assigned to judicial security would have the training needed for criminal-code enforcement, and Shorba said the branch is discussing that issue with the State Patrol. No vote on the bill was taken in the portion provided.
