SF 3250 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain taxes imposition during a shutdown period prohibition provision

SF 3250 prohibits certain taxes during government shutdown periods in Minnesota. It amends Minnesota Statutes to prevent wage tax deductions (under section 290.92) and consumption taxes (under sections 295, 296A, etc.) from being imposed on wages paid or transactions occurring during a "shutdown period" or a short grace period after it ends. A "shutdown period" is defined as the time when appropriations for executive, legislative, or judicial branches haven't been enacted for the upcoming biennium, starting July 1 of an odd-numbered year. The bill directly affects employers who withhold wage taxes and businesses/individuals subject to consumption taxes during these defined shutdown windows.
