A resolution urging Congress to reject proposals that would diminish the strength of Medicare and Social Security

This is a non-binding resolution passed by the Minnesota State Senate. It urges Congress to reject any federal proposals that would reduce Medicare or Social Security benefits, citing concerns about impacts on Minnesota seniors (over 1 million residents), disabled individuals, and veterans. The resolution specifically condemns actions that would diminish these programs and directs the Secretary of State to send it to congressional leaders. It does not create new law or alter program benefits, but formally expresses the Senate's support for maintaining these programs' current strength.
