HF 5156: Price for prescription drugs subject to the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program established.

This bill establishes a price ceiling for specific prescription drugs in Minnesota that are subject to federal Medicare drug price negotiations. It requires drug manufacturers to stop accepting payments higher than the federal "maximum fair price" for these medications, while also ensuring pharmacies receive at least that amount or the national average cost, whichever is higher. To enforce these rules, the law prohibits manufacturers from removing drugs from the market to evade price limits unless they provide advance notice, and it mandates that health plans and pharmacy benefit managers share detailed financial data with the state's Prescription Drug Affordability Board. The provisions will take effect on January 1, 2027, impacting drug manufacturers, health insurance plans, pharmacy benefit managers, and pharmacies operating in the state.

SF 5307: Requirements of prorated rent modification to include an incomplete first month of rent

This bill requires landlords and tenants in Minnesota to calculate rent for partial months based on the actual number of days a unit is occupied. It specifically mandates that when a lease starts or ends before the month concludes, rent must be prorated using an average daily rate rather than requiring a full month's payment. The law makes these requirements mandatory and unwaivable, meaning any lease clause attempting to bypass this calculation or limit tenant legal remedies is automatically invalid. This change applies to all residential leases entered into on or after the day following the bill's final enactment.
Topics ✓ HousingSupports HousingBill strengthens tenant protections by mandating fair prorated rent calculations, preventing landlords from charging full rent for partial occupancy.90% confidence

HF 4102: State Patrol compensation study requirements modified, and volunteer chaplains allowed within the state patrol.

This bill modifies Minnesota State Patrol compensation requirements by updating how salary surveys are conducted and how certain expenses are reimbursed. It requires the legislative auditor to perform a compensation and benefits survey every odd-numbered year for police departments in cities with over 25,000 residents in metropolitan counties, first-class cities, and the State Patrol. The survey must include base salary, overtime wages, premium pay, and all benefits like insurance and retirement contributions, with results reported to relevant legislative committees. Additionally, the bill clarifies that salary adjustments for supervisory ranks must be proportionate to those made for patrol troopers based on survey findings. The legislation also updates the definition of patrol troopers to include lieutenants and removes the 2030 survey deadline, extending the requirement to every odd-numbered year thereafter.

The bill also establishes a video presentation resource for training and sets an effective date of January 1, 2027, for these new requirements.
