Rep. Ginny Klevorn

Maddy summaryThis bill's title indicates it contains multiple provisions related to state/local government operations and elections, but the provided context does not include specific policy details or provisions. The timeline shows it passed the Senate on May 19, 2025, was approved by the governor on May 23, 2025, and became law. Without additional information on the bill's actual content, such as specific funding amounts, new requirements, or affected groups, a substantive summary cannot be provided. The context only confirms its procedural status and enactment date.

Maddy summaryThis is a procedural resolution (not a bill with policy changes), passed by the Minnesota House. It urges Congress to exercise its constitutional authority to oversee the Executive branch and defend the Constitution. The resolution specifically cites concerns about the Executive branch allegedly bypassing courts, impounding funds, and infringing on free speech, and asks Congress to "assert its constitutional oversight authority." It directs Minnesota's Secretary of State to send copies to Congress and Minnesota's federal representatives.

Maddy summaryHF 1837 updates Minnesota's state government administrative procedures. It amends statutes to clarify the Department of Administration's role in implementing the federal 21st Century Assistive Technology Act, ensuring the Minnesota Assistive Technology Advisory Council remains permanent and properly staffed with experts from key agencies. The bill also requires state agencies to notify legislative committees before starting most capital projects (excluding ADA compliance or preservation work), and revises reimbursement processes for state revolving funds used by agencies. These changes directly affect state agencies managing capital projects, assistive technology programs, and administrative funding systems, with no new programs or funding created.

Maddy summaryHF 3294 is a non-binding resolution passed by the Minnesota House of Representatives. It urges the President and Congress to fully fund Medicaid and oppose federal funding cuts, directly affecting Minnesota's 1.2 million Medicaid beneficiaries - including children (41% covered), seniors, people with disabilities, and communities of color (covering 80-90% of Black and American Indian births). The resolution has no new funding mechanisms or state policy changes; it solely requests federal action. It does not impose new requirements or alter existing Medicaid programs.

Maddy summaryHF 2289 requires Minnesota hospitals to maintain registered nurse staffing levels consistent with nationally accepted standards, ensuring adequate care for patients. Hospitals must create and implement staffing plans specifying maximum patient-to-nurse ratios for each unit, developed with input from direct-care registered nurses, and report these levels to the state. The bill prohibits retaliation against nurses who raise staffing concerns and imposes civil penalties for noncompliance. It directly affects all licensed Minnesota hospitals, their nursing staff, and patients by mandating safer staffing practices. The law appropriates funding to support implementation of these requirements.

Maddy summaryHF 2725 establishes a Healthy Aging Subcabinet within Minnesota Management and Budget and a Citizens' Engagement Council to develop a statewide Minnesota Healthy Aging Plan. The bill requires a director (appointed by the governor with public health and aging expertise) to lead the Subcabinet, coordinate community input from older adults, caregivers, and Tribal Nations, and integrate aging considerations into state agency planning. Key provisions mandate analyzing healthcare access (including oral health and chronic conditions), family caregiving needs, and funding opportunities to support aging in place. The bill appropriates funds for the Office of Healthy Aging and its planning process, directly affecting older Minnesotans, caregivers, and state agencies delivering aging services.

Maddy summaryHF 3222 amends Minnesota law to exclude for-profit colleges from receiving state financial aid grants. It changes the definition of "eligible institution" in higher education funding rules to require private institutions to operate as not-for-profits. This means for-profit colleges in Minnesota would no longer qualify for state grant programs starting fall 2026. The bill directly affects for-profit higher education institutions seeking state financial support.

Maddy summaryHF 2783 is a state budget bill that allocates funding for Minnesota's government operations during fiscal years 2026-2027. It provides specific appropriations for key entities including $123 million total for the Legislature (split between Senate, House, and related offices), $9.2 million for the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, $14.5 million for the State Auditor, and $47.4 million for the Attorney General. The bill also includes additional provisions such as establishing a legislative ethics code, allowing payment withholding for fraud allegations, and modifying insulin repayment accounts. These funds are primarily drawn from the general fund and other designated state funds to support ongoing state government functions.

Maddy summaryHF 2407 requires Minnesota long-term care facilities to allow residents to have one designated support person (chosen by the resident) physically present while they are at the facility. This applies to both nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Facilities may restrict this right only during medical procedures (like surgeries), or if the support person is violent or threatening, and must follow written grievance procedures if a resident's request is denied. The bill directly affects residents in these facilities by expanding their right to personal support during care.

Maddy summaryHF 479 modifies Minnesota's higher education grant program by establishing a tuition and fee maximum for eligible students. It sets this maximum at the highest tuition and fees charged by public Minnesota universities for each school year, applying specifically to students enrolled at an eligible institution during the 2025-2026 academic year or earlier. This policy change, effective for the 2026-2027 school year through fiscal year 2032, ensures state grant funds cover tuition up to this established maximum. The bill directly affects students receiving state grants at public Minnesota universities who were enrolled before 2026.
