HF 3579: Eggs allowed to be donated past their quality assurance date.

This bill (HF 3579) amends Minnesota statutes to allow grocery stores and processors to donate eggs past their "quality assurance date" to charitable food programs under specific conditions. It directly affects retailers with eggs nearing expiration and charitable organizations distributing food assistance. Key provisions require donated eggs to remain in original packaging, be previously graded, continuously refrigerated, distributed within 30 days of the quality assurance date, and labeled with a "Donated Eggs - Not for Resale" notice. The bill updates Minnesota Statutes sections 29.21 (defining quality assurance date) and 29.26 (retail egg handling rules) to create this donation pathway while maintaining safety standards.

HF 1849: Term limits provided for governor and lieutenant governor, and constitutional amendment proposed.

HF 1849 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit Minnesota's governor and lieutenant governor to two terms each. If approved by voters in 2026, the amendment would change the state constitution to state that no person may be elected more than twice to either office. The amendment requires a statewide vote at the 2026 general election with a specific ballot question asking voters to approve term limits beginning in 2030. This change would affect all future governors and lieutenant governors, but would not apply to terms served before 2030.

HF 1724: Direct primary care service agreements established.

HF 1724 establishes legal definitions and regulatory exemptions for direct primary care service agreements in Minnesota. The bill clarifies that these agreements - where patients pay a direct fee for primary care services (like check-ups and chronic disease management) instead of using insurance - are not considered insurance or health plans under Minnesota law. This means primary care providers (such as physicians or nurse practitioners) offering these agreements do not need insurance licenses or comply with insurance regulations (chapters 60A, 62A, 62C, 62D, or 62N). The bill directly affects primary care providers seeking to offer subscription-based care and patients choosing this alternative to traditional insurance.

SF 390: Safe routes to school grant program bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $10 million in state bond proceeds to fund grants for "safe routes to school" projects under Minnesota Statutes §174.40.

The state will sell bonds up to $10 million to finance this program, following standard bond procedures outlined in Minnesota law.

SF 2827: Library construction grant program renaming provision and library construction project grants bond issuance and appropriation

This bill renames Minnesota's library construction grant program to the "Mary C. Murphy Library Construction Grants Program" and appropriates $1 million in state bond funds for library improvements. It allows public library jurisdictions (cities, counties, or regional library systems) to apply for grants covering up to 50% of costs for accessibility renovations ($450,000 max) or new construction/renovations ($1 million max), requiring local matching funds. The program prioritizes projects based on collaboration, tax burden, feasibility, and need, while prohibiting grants for libraries without internet obscenity policies. The funds are sourced from state bonds issued under existing bond procedures.

HF 2133: Income tax; pass-through entity tax technical correction made.

HF 2133 makes a technical correction to Minnesota's tax law regarding credits for pass-through entity taxes paid to other states. The bill clarifies that businesses structured as pass-through entities (such as partnerships, LLCs, and S corporations) and their owners can claim a credit for taxes paid to another state, specifying how this credit must be claimed per tax commissioner rules. It also aligns the credit's expiration with a federal tax provision without affecting the state's authority to audit or assess claims. This amendment corrects a technical error in existing law to ensure the credit is applied as intended, without changing tax rates or eligibility.

HF 2354: Medical assistance fraud governing provisions added and modified, attorney general provided subpoena and enforcement authority, criminal penalties provided, conforming changes made, and money appropriated.

HF 2354 strengthens Minnesota's response to Medicaid fraud by expanding the Attorney General's authority to subpoena records from entities like phone companies, financial institutions, and healthcare providers. It establishes criminal penalties for submitting false Medicaid claims, including fines up to $100,000 and up to 20 years in prison for fraud exceeding $35,000, with lesser penalties for smaller amounts. The bill directly affects Medicaid providers and individuals who submit fraudulent claims for medical assistance funds. Key mechanisms include new subpoena powers for investigations and tiered penalties based on the value of the fraudulent claims. The law amends existing statutes (256B.12, 609.467) and repeals outdated provisions.

SF 1943: Pet shops prohibition from selling cats and dogs

Minnesota Senate File 1943 prohibits pet shops (physical retail stores selling animals to the public) from selling or transferring ownership of cats and dogs, effective August 1, 2026. The bill allows pet shops to provide space for nonprofit animal shelters, humane societies, or 501(c)(3) rescue groups to offer animals for adoption, but pet shops cannot own the animals or charge fees for this space. It does not affect breeders, direct sales from breeders, or nonprofit adoption organizations themselves. The law aims to shift pet sales toward adoption-focused organizations while maintaining transparency requirements for pet dealers.

SF 5274: Anonymous threat reporting system grants to schools provision and appropriation

This bill authorizes funding for schools in Minnesota to create anonymous systems where students and staff can report threats without revealing their identities. The state will provide grants to school districts, charter schools, and tribal schools, requiring recipients to contribute at least half of the project costs from their own funds. The money can be used to set up, run, and maintain these reporting tools, as well as to pay staff who respond to the threats received. To ensure fair distribution, the program must award grants to schools across all geographic regions, with at least half going to areas outside the major metropolitan area. Additionally, the bill requires annual reports detailing how the grant money was awarded and spent by each school.
