SF 5049: Requirement modification to collect tax on certain undivided interest

This bill modifies Minnesota law to clarify how property taxes are collected on undivided interests in real estate, such as those held by mortgage lenders or lessees. It allows these individuals to pay taxes specifically on their portion of the property and receive official receipts for that payment. The update ensures that once taxes are paid for a specific interest, that portion is protected from enforcement actions related to unpaid taxes on the rest of the property. The changes apply immediately upon the bill's final enactment.

SF 5031: Require state-funded playgrounds to use inclusive design standards

This bill requires playgrounds built or significantly renovated with state money in Minnesota to follow inclusive design standards that welcome children with and without disabilities. To comply, projects must incorporate features like accessible paths, varied play equipment for different abilities, sensory activities, and comfortable seating areas, while also being reviewed by an expert in accessibility. The law defines "substantial renovation" as replacing half the equipment or changing the main play area and mandates the use of established universal design principles. Additionally, the Department of Natural Resources is authorized to create guidance documents in partnership with the Minnesota Council on Disability to help implement these requirements.

SF 5022: Obstructing legal process crime expansion

This bill expands Minnesota's obstructing legal process crime to include interfering with federal immigration officers and prohibits local governments from passing rules that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. It requires county sheriffs to enter into agreements with federal agencies to assist with immigration enforcement without needing approval from local county boards. Additionally, the law makes it a crime to approach or stay near a peace officer, including federal officers, while they are actively making an arrest or investigating a crime, provided the person received a warning to back away. These changes apply to all municipalities and counties and are set to take effect on August 1, 2026.

SF 5043: Statute of limitations elimination for causes of action on gender-affirming care for minor children

This bill removes the standard four-year time limit for filing medical malpractice lawsuits involving gender-affirming care for minors in Minnesota. It defines gender-affirming care specifically as medical or surgical interventions, such as hormone therapy or puberty blockers, intended to affirm a minor's perceived gender identity. Consequently, patients or former patients can file these specific claims at any time, regardless of when the alleged error occurred. The law applies only to cases involving minor children and does not change the statute of limitations for other types of medical malpractice.

SF 4940: Coverage of medical services and prescription medications requirement for the treatment of dementia

This bill requires health insurance plans in Minnesota to cover all FDA-approved medical services and prescription medications used to treat or slow the progression of dementia, including diagnostic tests to evaluate their effectiveness. To ensure patients can access these treatments without unnecessary hurdles, the law prohibits insurers from using step therapy protocols, which typically require trying cheaper or less effective options first, before approving coverage for dementia care. The legislation also modifies rules on prior authorization for other drugs, mandating public comment periods and streamlined processes for specific medications, such as those used by patients with enteral feeding tubes. These changes are set to take effect on January 1, 2027, applying to health plans that are offered, issued, or renewed on or after that date.

The legislation also requires hospitals to create policies for interactions with law enforcement and prohibits denying education based on immigration status.
