The governor has again extended his peacetime emergency declaration, and since we were not in session at the time, he was required to bring the legislature back for a special session.
I have heard from many people in our community who are opposed to this expansion of the governor’s executive authority. House Republicans brought a resolution during the session today to end the governor’s peacetime emergency powers, but despite receiving bipartisan support, the resolution, unfortunately, did not pass.
If you would like to follow along with the special session, you can watch committee hearings and legislative sessions, and find the legislative schedule, on the MN House of Representatives website here.
If you have thoughts on any issue that may come in front of the legislature during the special session, please feel free to contact me.
It’s an honor and privilege to work for you at the Capitol. Don’t hesitate to contact my office at any time this session to share your thoughts, concerns, or ideas. I am here to serve you!
