Rep. Jimmy Gordon

Maddy summaryThis House resolution initiates the formal impeachment process against Keith Ellison, Minnesota's Attorney General, alleging corrupt conduct and crimes while in office. The bill directs the House to adopt six articles of impeachment that accuse Ellison of abusing his office to defend unlawful protest activity, undermining religious liberty protections, failing to enforce laws impartially, engaging in conflicts of interest, and soliciting political support in exchange for favorable treatment. If adopted, the resolution immediately bars Ellison from exercising his duties as Attorney General until the Senate conducts a trial and votes on his acquittal or conviction. The House Speaker must serve notice of the charges to Ellison, and the enrolled resolution must be transmitted to the Governor, Secretary of State, and Senate leadership to begin the constitutional impeachment proceedings.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a new tax in Minnesota that targets individuals and organizations convicted of fraud or those identified by the state revenue commissioner as having obtained money through deceitful means. The tax requires anyone who has successfully defrauded state programs to pay back 100 percent of the stolen amount, regardless of any existing fines or restitution already ordered by courts. The state revenue commissioner is tasked with investigating suspected fraud, setting up a system to collect these payments, and ensuring the recovered funds are used specifically for income and property tax relief. The law applies retroactively to fraud cases determined after December 31, 2019, and also covers people who were paid to help commit the fraud.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies how Minnesota calculates registration taxes for passenger cars and hearses by lowering the tax rate based on the vehicle's manufacturer's suggested retail price. It changes the tax calculation for new vehicles registered on or after November 16, 2020, and reduces the percentage of the vehicle's value taxed for each subsequent year of ownership. The legislation also establishes a process to transfer money from the state's general fund to the highway user tax distribution fund to cover any revenue shortfall caused by these tax reductions.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the state auditor to assign fraud risk scores to Minnesota political subdivisions at least every two years based on their internal controls and financial practices. To qualify for state grants, local governments must meet a minimum benchmark score, though they can submit a plan for improvement if they fall short. The legislation also mandates a public online dashboard to display these scores and establishes a 18-to-24-month pilot program to test the system before full implementation.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a one-time property tax refund program for Minnesota property owners who paid eligible taxes in 2026, affecting residential, agricultural, and commercial property classifications. The program allocates $4 billion from the state general fund to provide refunds based on a percentage calculated by the Department of Revenue, with applications accepted between July 15 and September 15, 2026. Any unclaimed refund amounts will automatically be converted into property tax credits for 2027 on the properties where no refund was requested. The legislation defines specific property categories eligible for the refund and sets clear deadlines for application processing and payment distribution.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a regulated therapeutic use program for psilocybin in Minnesota, allowing adults aged 21 and older with qualifying medical conditions to access the substance under medical supervision. The program requires patients to work with licensed health care practitioners and registered facilitators who oversee preparation, administration, and integration sessions. Key provisions include creating an advisory committee to guide program oversight, setting up registration requirements for patients, suppliers, and facilitators, and establishing civil penalties for violations. The legislation also appropriates funds for program implementation and creates a framework for data collection and public health monitoring.

Maddy summaryHF 3376 repeals Minnesota's existing ban on conversion therapy for minors and vulnerable adults. The bill removes the prohibition in Minnesota Statutes § 214.078, which previously prohibited mental health practitioners from providing conversion therapy to individuals under 18 or vulnerable adults. It also amends § 256B.0625 to delete the reference to the ban, while clarifying that "conversion therapy" is defined as practices seeking to change sexual orientation or gender identity. This change directly affects minors and vulnerable adults who might receive mental health services, as it eliminates the legal restriction on practitioners offering such therapy. The bill does not create new restrictions but reverses a prior policy.

Maddy summaryHF 5 modifies Minnesota's tax structure by repealing the retail delivery fee and establishing an "unlimited Social Security subtraction," allowing taxpayers to subtract all their Social Security benefits from state taxable income. It redirects transportation funding by creating a "transportation advancement account" and requires specific distribution percentages: 36% to metropolitan counties, 28% to county highway funds, 23% to larger cities, 34% to small cities, 15% to town roads, and 1% to food delivery support. The bill also mandates tax analysis and reporting requirements for transportation funding impacts and modifies several tax statutes, including those governing Social Security benefit subtractions. These changes directly affect Minnesota taxpayers, local governments, and transportation agencies, effective July 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryThis bill expands eligibility criteria for water-use permits from the Mt. Simon-Hinckley aquifer in Minnesota, directly affecting water resource management and permit applicants. It requires that new permits only be issued for potable water or agricultural irrigation outside metropolitan counties, ensures no feasible alternatives to this water source exist, and mandates inclusion of a water conservation plan with each permit. The changes modify existing state statutes to add these specific conditions that must be met before the commissioner can approve new water appropriations from this aquifer.

Maddy summaryHF 3687 modifies Minnesota's medical assistance and MinnesotaCare coverage for chiropractic services. The bill removes the previous age restriction (limiting coverage to those under 21) and establishes new rules: chiropractic care for spinal pain, chronic conditions, and related services is covered for all ages, but limited to 24 visits per year without prior authorization. It also restricts x-ray coverage to specific spine examinations necessary for diagnosing subluxation. This affects all MinnesotaCare and medical assistance recipients seeking chiropractic care, changing coverage from age-limited to broadly applicable with visit and x-ray restrictions. The changes take effect January 1, 2027, or after federal approval.
