Maddy summaryThis bill officially designates the Michael Gau Memorial Bridge over U.S. Highway 169 in Plymouth, Minnesota. It requires the state transportation commissioner to create a suitable design and install signs to mark the bridge with this new name. The change updates Minnesota statutes to reflect the official title of the structure, which is located on Hennepin County State-Aid Highway 9.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates the Bail Abatement Nonprofit Exclusion (BANE) Act to prohibit nonprofit organizations from using their funds to pay bail on behalf of individuals arrested. Under the new law, nonprofits are barred from organizing or registering specifically to make payments to courts to satisfy bail conditions. The measure directly affects charitable groups and other nonprofit entities by restricting their ability to engage in bail-related financial activities.
