SF 3769: 340B prescription drugs delivery restrictions prohibition

This bill prohibits drug manufacturers from restricting how 340B prescription drugs are delivered to participating hospitals and clinics. It directly affects healthcare facilities enrolled in the federal 340B program, which provides discounted drugs to safety-net providers. The key provision bans delivery restrictions and classifies violations as "unfair or deceptive trade practices," allowing the attorney general to enforce the law. The bill also removes an expiration date (previously set for July 2027) that would have ended the restrictions.

HF 3571: Watershed districts allowed to self-insure for certain employee health benefits, and technical changes made.

HF 3571 allows watershed districts in Minnesota to cover their own employee health insurance costs (excluding life insurance) instead of purchasing group policies, a change previously limited to cities, counties, and school districts. The bill requires these self-insurance plans to meet state certification standards, provide all legally required benefits, and involve consultation with employee representatives before implementation or dissolution. It also permits multiple watershed districts to jointly self-insure under shared rules and clarifies that employees represented by unions may opt into the district’s plan at their own expense. The legislation updates existing statutes to include watershed districts in these health benefit options while maintaining key safeguards for employees.

SF 3803: Denial of education based on immigration status prohibition provision

SF 3803 prohibits Minnesota public schools from denying free K-12 education based on a student’s or their parent’s immigration status, aligning with the U.S. Supreme Court’s *Plyler v. Doe* ruling. It bans schools from collecting unnecessary immigration status information, threatening to disclose such details to authorities, or creating policies that effectively exclude students due to immigration concerns. The bill also establishes a civil cause of action, allowing students or families to sue if denied educational access for these reasons. It directly affects all K-12 students and families in Minnesota public schools, charter schools, and districts.

SF 4018: Reimbursement rate parity requirement for clinical trainees providing alcoholism

SF 4018 requires health insurance plans in Minnesota to reimburse clinical trainees (like psychology interns or counseling students) at the same rate paid to independently licensed mental health professionals for identical alcoholism, mental health, and chemical dependency services. This applies to all covered services provided within the trainee's scope of practice under state law. Health plans must pay at least 100% of the rate for these services, ensuring no financial disadvantage for trainees delivering care. The requirement takes effect January 1, 2027, for new or renewed health plans.

SF 2634: Relationship-building and de-escalation training in schools access requirement

SF 2634 requires all school personnel in Minnesota public, private, and charter schools (including teachers, administrators, and support staff) to have access to annual training on relationship-building and de-escalation strategies. The training must cover building positive school cultures, preventing conflicts, and responding to escalated situations using evidence-based methods, with specific components like communication skills and restorative discipline practices. Schools that implement this training may receive priority for state professional development funding. The bill also appropriates funds for grants to support school districts in implementing these programs, though staff completion is encouraged but not mandatory.

HF 895: Legislative approval required for adoption of rules.

HF 895 requires Minnesota state agencies to obtain legislative approval before certain rules take effect. The bill amends statutes to mandate that a rule becomes effective only after a law approving it is enacted, following publication of the notice of adoption in the State Register. This directly affects all state agencies that create rules, as they must now seek legislative approval rather than having rules automatically take effect after publication. The key mechanism shifts the effective date from current practice to require a separate legislative act approving the rule after its notice is published.

HF 409: Local optional revenue increased, aid amount increased, and money appropriated.

HF 409 increases funding for Minnesota public school districts by raising local optional revenue allowances. It sets new annual allowance amounts: $250 for first-tier, $300 for second-tier, and $424 for third-tier local revenue starting in fiscal year 2026. School districts calculate their revenue using these allowances multiplied by adjusted pupil units, with levies tied to property values per student. The bill also appropriates additional state funds for general education aid in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. This directly affects all Minnesota school districts receiving state education funding.

HF 2928: Preapplication filings for large water appropriation projects required, permit application information for large water appropriation projects added, level of environmental review for data centers specified, data centers exempted from making financial contributions to an energy conservation and optimization plan, and other data center provisions modified.

HF 2928 requires preapplication discussions with state agencies for large water projects (exceeding 100 million gallons yearly or 250,000 gallons daily) to assess water availability before final site selection. It mandates specific permit details for these projects and specifies that data center expansions of 100 megawatts or more require an environmental impact statement reviewed by the Public Utilities Commission. The bill exempts data centers from contributing to energy conservation plans and imposes a new fee on them, with revenues funding conservation efforts. These provisions directly affect developers of large water projects and data center operators in Minnesota.

HF 3181: Waiver case management labor market analysis required, waiver case management rates increased, and reports required.

HF 3181 requires Minnesota counties to collect and submit detailed data on waiver case management staff (including wages, hours, turnover, and vacancies) to the state commissioner annually for public analysis. It increases case management service rates by 27.5% for programs supporting seniors aged 65+ who need community-based care instead of nursing facility placement. The bill mandates annual rate reviews with county input and requires the commissioner to publish statewide and county-level labor market reports. These changes affect seniors receiving essential community supports under Minnesota Statutes 256B.0922 and the providers (county agencies and contracted private firms) delivering these services. The provisions take effect July 1, 2025.

HF 2099: Local government emergency management provided, reports required, and money appropriated.

HF 2099 provides $12 million annually (fiscal years 2026-2027) from the state general fund to support local emergency management in Minnesota. The funds are distributed equally to all 87 counties, 11 federally recognized tribes, and four major cities for planning, training, equipment purchases, and infrastructure improvements related to emergency preparedness. Recipients must submit annual reports by March 15 detailing how funds were used, and all funds are subject to state audit to ensure compliance. The bill explicitly states these state funds cannot replace existing federal emergency management funding.

HF 2901: Allowable uses of funds in the Minnesota housing tax credit contribution account expanded to include funding supportive services in supportive housing.

HF 2901 expands the allowable uses of funds in Minnesota's housing tax credit contribution account to include funding supportive services for residents in existing supportive housing. This bill directly affects housing providers operating supportive housing programs, which assist vulnerable populations like seniors or individuals with disabilities. The key change amends Minnesota Statutes § 462A.40 by adding "funding supportive services in supportive housing" to the list of permitted uses, alongside existing options like construction and rehabilitation. It does not create new funding but allows existing account funds to cover essential services like case management or healthcare coordination within current supportive housing developments.

HF 936: Cost-benefit analysis required for proposed administrative rules, adoption of certain rules prohibited, and notice to legislature upon adoption of exempt rules required.

HF 936 requires Minnesota state agencies to conduct a cost-benefit analysis before adopting most new administrative rules, demonstrating that projected benefits exceed costs. Agencies must publish preliminary and final analyses, explain changes based on public feedback, and use standardized methods developed by the Office of Administrative Hearings. The bill exempts "exempt rules" (under §14.386), "good cause rules" (§14.388), and "expedited rules" (§14.389), but mandates that agencies notify the legislature upon adopting these exempt rules. This applies to all state agencies creating rules affecting stakeholders like businesses, local governments, and citizens.
