Maddy summaryHF 3455 renames Minnesota's State Office Building at 100 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in St. Paul as the "Melissa Hortman State Office Building." The bill requires the revisor of statutes to update all official references to the building in Minnesota Statutes and Rules. This is a ceremonial renaming with no policy changes or direct impact on residents or government operations.

Maddy summaryHF 3807 requires Minnesota State High School League member schools to permit live and recorded broadcasts of all extracurricular competitions (like sports and events) for distribution on public, educational, or government access channels. This policy would apply to all member schools and must be adopted by the League, though it cannot override existing contracts signed before the policy takes effect. The bill mandates that schools allow these broadcasts without charging fees for the access. It directly affects high schools participating in the League by changing their broadcasting requirements for public access channels.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates policies and training requirements for assisted living facilities in Minnesota, directly affecting facility operators and unlicensed staff members who work there. It mandates that facilities maintain updated policies covering staff training, emergency procedures, infection control, and supervision of unlicensed personnel performing delegated tasks. The legislation also strengthens penalties for violations by allowing commissioners to assess investigation-related costs and increase fines for serious injuries or deaths caused by egregious conduct. Additionally, the bill requires facilities to ensure emergency-trained personnel are available 24 hours a day and to provide residents with clear information about their rights and facility procedures.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a new Council on Central and Eastern European Affairs in Minnesota to serve as a liaison between state government and Minnesotans from Central and Eastern European countries, including refugees and recent immigrants. The 15-member council will consist of 11 public members appointed by the governor and four legislative members appointed by both parties, with requirements for gender diversity and demographic representation. The council will advise state leaders on issues affecting these communities, recommend policy changes, and receive administrative support and funding from the state.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies how the Minnesota State Board of Investment handles billing, expenses, and reporting for the funds it manages. It requires the board to create policies that allow the public and fund beneficiaries to learn about proposed actions, while exempting these procedures from standard administrative review processes. The legislation also mandates that the board establish performance measurement formulas for public pension funds and include management fees and performance data in annual reports to the governor and legislature. Additionally, the bill updates how the executive director manages administrative functions, including authority to adjust billing procedures and expense apportionment for funds under the board's care. These changes aim to improve transparency and operational flexibility for the state's investment management activities.

Maddy summaryThis bill allocates $1,602,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2027 to the Office of the Attorney General. The funding is specifically designated to hire six additional attorneys to support the office's legal operations. The legislation does not change existing laws or procedures but provides financial resources for staffing expansion. It directly affects the Office of the Attorney General by increasing its budget for attorney positions.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires online platforms operating in Minnesota to disclose information about how they use algorithms to rank or recommend content to users. It mandates that platforms provide design transparency and offer users meaningful choices, including accessible interfaces that minimize unnecessary clicks or taps. Covered businesses, defined as those operating online platforms using personal data to determine content prominence, must also implement long-term user value metrics and maintain holdout groups to test algorithmic changes. The legislation authorizes the Commerce Department to create specific rules and imposes civil penalties for noncompliance.

Maddy summaryHF 3407 prohibits the sale, possession, and distribution of "ghost guns" - firearms without unique serial numbers, undetectable by metal detectors, or made via 3D printing by unlicensed individuals. It restricts 3D printing of firearms to federally licensed manufacturers, bans sharing 3D gun design files, and requires all firearms to have engraved serial numbers. Owners of existing ghost guns must either have a licensed dealer add a serial number, remove the item from Minnesota, make it permanently inoperable, or surrender it within 180 days (or 30/60 days for inheritors/new residents). Violations carry penalties of up to five years in prison or $10,000 fines.

Maddy summaryHF 3401 modifies Minnesota law to clarify that firearms are generally prohibited on school property, even for individuals with permits, except for specific authorized groups like active law enforcement or military personnel on duty. The bill establishes new storage requirements for permitted carry, mandating that firearms must be unloaded, secured in a locked container or trunk, and out of plain sight when not actively on duty or participating in authorized activities. These rules apply to school buildings, grounds, buses, and event facilities with posted signs, but exclude active officers and military personnel. The law aims to balance permitted access with safety by ensuring firearms are secured during non-operational periods.

Maddy summaryHF 3480 requires Minnesota to study the economic effects of the federal "Operation Metro Surge" immigration enforcement operation. The bill appropriates funding to contract a nonpartisan entity to quantify impacts on the state, child care providers, businesses, counties, cities, and school districts. The study must be completed and reported to key legislative committees by February 1, 2027. This is a procedural study bill focused on gathering data, not implementing new policy. The bill was introduced in February 2026 with multiple co-authors.
