Secretary of state required to place questions on 2024 state general election ballot related to approval of state flag and state seal designs adopted by State Emblems Redesign Commission.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the Minnesota Secretary of State to put two questions on the 2024 general election ballot asking voters to approve or reject new designs for the state flag and the state seal. These designs were previously selected by the State Emblems Redesign Commission, and the bill mandates that the changes take effect on May 11, 2025, only if voters vote "yes" on both questions. If the proposals are rejected by the public, the existing flag and seal designs will remain in place. Additionally, the bill updates state laws to clarify how agencies should handle the transition between the old and new emblems and directs unused seal-making tools to the Minnesota Historical Society.

Tax provisions modified, and business exemptions provided.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies Minnesota's corporate and individual income tax laws to provide temporary exemptions for businesses that received Paycheck Protection Program loans. Under the new rules, corporations and individual taxpayers who took out these loans will not have to pay state income tax starting in the year after their total tax payments match the total amount of their PPP loans. The exemption applies to all other businesses and individuals for tax years beginning after December 31, 2023, regardless of whether they received PPP funding. The legislation also defines how to calculate taxable business income and gives the state revenue commissioner authority to request necessary documentation to enforce these changes.
