Busy Day Today at the Minnesota Capitol
Democrats today (Mon) cue up several of their high-profile initiatives for votes in the Minnesota House:
Bills for free school lunch and breakfast for all students… earned sick and safe time… and allowing felons to vote after they’re released from prison make what could be their final committee stop (1030am start) before a vote in the full House. Later in the day, there’s another hearing in the Senate on legalizing recreational marijuana. Two House committees meet jointly to get input from stakeholders on the proposed merger of the Fairview and Sanford health systems. Attorney General Keith Ellison wraps up his series of statewide listening sessions on that issue tomorrow in Grand Rapids.
This afternoon (330pm), the House debates a controversial bill that would allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a drivers license in Minnesota.
