- House File 2130 (conference report; public safety, driver's license revocations and DWI interlock program amendments): Conference committee report adopted; final passage repassed as amended by conference, 126 ayes, 5 nays.

- House File 3228 (workers' compensation amendments): Passed as amended by Senate, 134 ayes, 0 nays. The bill contained technical clarifications to Minnesota Statutes chapter 176 and changes recommended by the Workers' Compensation Advisory Council.

- Senate File 1740 (education policy, amended with house substitute): Passed as amended, 131 ayes, 3 nays. Multiple floor amendments debated and recorded (start-date amendment adopted 84–46; discipline amendment tied 67–67 and failed).

- House File 2433 (education finance): Passed, 93 ayes, 41 nays. The package links the general education formula to inflation, creates a task force on compensatory revenue, and preserves multiple program grants in the near term.

- House File 1143 (appropriation to reimburse districts for unemployment insurance for hourly school workers): Passed, 131 ayes, 0 nays. Funding reported as $100,000,000 drawn from repurposed NLX contingency and other savings for two summers of reimbursements.

These votes reflect both technical vehicles and major policy debates that will move to conference committee with the Senate when relevant.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Floor Session - part 2 5/16/25","oneSentenceSummary","Summary of final roll-call results and formal actions recorded during the Minnesota House floor session on May 16, 2025.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature MN, Minnesota","taxId",77817,"location","Minnesota","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6545879,"House funds two summers of unemployment insurance for hourly school workers with $100 million allocation",522,15027000,15549000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3355856-c41584de56a17c559efe7a04df1a0e73&start=15027&end=15549","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3355856-c41584de56a17c559efe7a04df1a0e73/thumbnail_15027000.jpg","/articles/6545879/Minnesota/House-funds-two-summers-of-unemployment-insurance-for-hourly-school-workers-with-100-million-allocation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545879-984511aa80f30062ccc245b90386ab1f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771052158&Signature=mmsm6sQQ23Y-kRlGOpv5TVTkqkBgIP563gb9eHzj4jZGJ9lAm30cDpbBWPzubaL8SCDXfUdsTpo2n1PufWFK~4phk8Cy86nkQMhwzQBfXmxKGvUgYRMqUi51x9JrHIZVOc4iuCKptPD3K1aMdpj5-8vG6ZEXHkRJuD~YfDMlrLWwtIVNGn~KBgkpvCO6RCJPtGuPXBrfyePKm60qi~XvCmKT~B563Plk6r3pFacLmnIrf1ZD7Vna6ANwAuLqYEQSufOg7IlbIHwSVcr2Kdp80MfAJJ2ezEeP4YOC3yV~zTv-Ds9cu4bmPxuyM4vA5TaCA7bBVpmz1RdFpJpdgtSxmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House on May 16 adopted House File 1143 to fund two years of unemployment-insurance reimbursements for hourly school workers, including paraprofessionals, bus drivers and food-service employees. The motion to suspend rules and take the bill up as an urgency matter was adopted; the appropriation itself was reported as funded by a $77 million repurposing from the Northern Lights Express contingency plus approximately $22 million in other savings, for a total $100 million appropriation.

Supporters said the measure reimburses districts for UI claims that have flowed through since the change in unemployment eligibility two years earlier, and argued the allocation preserves school budgets and stabilizes workforces that return each fall. Opponents in earlier debates had urged a longer-term fix rather than a sunsets-and-fund approach; proponents said the appropriation holds districts harmless in the next biennium and provides time for a longer-term funding solution.

Representative Greenman described the funding as paid for in the first biennium and producing projected savings in the tails; Representative Reimer noted the allocation shows how policy priorities can be addressed by repurposing funds from projects that are not moving forward.

The bill passed on final action after the House voted to take the measure up; the separate technical steps to take HF1143 from the table and give it third reading preceded final passage on a recorded roll call at 131–0 for the later bill actions where recorded.","The House approved House File 1143, allocating $100 million to reimburse school districts for unemployment insurance claims by hourly education workers for two summers; funding was drawn from a previously earmarked transportation project contingency and passed unanimously in the final roll calls on the floor action to take up the bill.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":46,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6545884,"House passes education finance bill with indexing, compensatory task force and contested unemployment provision",3081,8818000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3355856-c41584de56a17c559efe7a04df1a0e73&start=8818&end=11899","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3355856-c41584de56a17c559efe7a04df1a0e73/thumbnail_8818000.jpg","/articles/6545884/Minnesota/House-passes-education-finance-bill-with-indexing-compensatory-task-force-and-contested-unemployment-provision","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545884-71176a05c510487119ea3be473b6e6ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1771052158&Signature=iKegpfJ9cnJdYm9F6xNGojKUtOP6uH360kbDZoNL8W7HWYJQZPXJ0rIqqSQZgyXMzPFQl2gBaYPYiBAsjlrQHF0GjwDeFGoy6IH9z5MRA66HVQQk7RodDd6XCrv853SKpM~uSfCISdJyRGe-SvaaSoICfSAUvynulE-xim8YJ0SOvuVJHyoGOzIvpi3bNkolTp2Bsa0x9iMFQpUudckRx43s6pxkwi0rgCJgXiCIxk-sO-GnulEJ56COcnhhy2BQJ6qxtXAwQ6YcFC-oi8l2WUf09qXX8GMbIpuQLuovyv3ZhtFmAx34rQtZ8jqjv4PQr4TYSQLo3FaoDYdbA85USQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House passed House File 2433 on May 16 by a 93–41 margin, a multi-part education finance bill that links general education formula growth to inflation, creates a task force to review compensatory revenue, and adjusts several grants and program funding streams.

Lawmakers described the measure as a compromise crafted under a constrained revenue target: an initial allocation aimed at supporting early-literacy investments (the READ Act) and basic supplemental aid to give districts more flexible resources. The bill includes funding for Math Corps, student-support personnel aid, long-term facilities maintenance, and other targeted items. Several legislatively appointed nonprofit grants were preserved for the first biennium but removed from the tails pending further review.

The bill also creates a task force to review and recommend changes to the compensatory revenue formula after testimony showed some districts would face sudden, large losses under recent data changes. Members from affected districts — including South St. Paul and Columbia Heights — described looming “compensatory cliffs” where per-student allocations could fall sharply because of changes in counting methods.

One of the most contested provisions in the House finance package is the repeal date tied to a seasonal unemployment-insurance eligibility policy for certain hourly school employees. Supporters said the change is necessary to hold the line on long-term state spending and to preserve district budgets; opponents said the repeal would remove an earned benefit from paraprofessionals, bus drivers and food-service workers and undermine workforce stability.

Lawmakers emphasized this bill represents an attempt to balance increased flexibility for districts, protection of previously enacted programs and limited new funding under a tight fiscal target. Several speakers urged the Senate and governor to preserve indexation and protect key investments during conference negotiations.

Supporters asked members to approve the package to move to conference committee and to preserve the state’s ability to fund ongoing K–12 needs in a volatile fiscal environment. The bill passed on a roll call of 93 yays and 41 nays.","House passage of House File 2433 provides targeted spending priorities, links the general education formula to inflation, creates a compensatory-revenue task force and includes a repeal date for unemployment insurance eligibility for some hourly school workers that drove floor opposition.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6545887,"Minnesota House adopts education-policy substitute; narrow votes on start-date and discipline amendments",7828,987000,8815000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3355856-c41584de56a17c559efe7a04df1a0e73&start=987&end=8815","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3355856-c41584de56a17c559efe7a04df1a0e73/thumbnail_987000.jpg","/articles/6545887/Minnesota/Minnesota-House-adopts-education-policy-substitute-narrow-votes-on-start-date-and-discipline-amendments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545887-06f6d9426cdc05b7ed44c13147835fe8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771052158&Signature=Zh-ph~OOYS2jbZo~x51QbzkmjX1QsqllTpfA4lK~QEHEQ9okCmaaYq2U~nXd2v7wixIKum6sxcfFI6NsgNLxGZQg9HYXEhrUgbEbBu15B8whnIMjQGwAfEJAytqDcn0kouGnqXOizsbaCIqIX10NcLh-SHoGxSrgHb-RJmcOecd3tqrKoB7~Q4-YQEcOAJjBwFroBnAVSpqRCb3GVgPEtjhqX-9Iw~4wk8sR2Q-I1HqEiCJrHkFxBvmZ66aelNVO3uK-UpDF64ocqGWPBfr-ggxFIT46PMx4k4I~mdmkDGyYwMOUQpq3Kf2Xs8UI1YiCFT9HGXkEvHHcTTKn6GR7Kg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Minnesota House on May 16 passed Senate File 1740 (substituted with House language), an education-policy package that includes temporary calendar flexibility for school districts and a series of technical and programmatic provisions. The final passage was 131 yays to 3 nays.

Members debated several high-profile amendments during third reading. A floor amendment that would allow districts temporary flexibility to start school before the day after Labor Day for the 2026–27 and 2027–28 school years, provided they do not begin before Sept. 1, was adopted 84–46. Two separate amendments that would have restored broader suspension authority for young students and clarified exclusions of nonexclusionary discipline failed on tied votes of 67–67.

The bill as passed keeps multiple committee-level changes and technical fixes. Provisions in the adopted substitute and amendments include a short-term exception to the Labor Day start-date restriction for two school years (not earlier than Sept. 1), expanded language on charter and innovation programs, changes to substitute-teacher rules and pilot authority, and technical updates on special education dispute processes and allowances for stock epinephrine in schools.

Supporters said the temporary calendar flexibility responds to unusual Labor Day dates in two upcoming years and gives districts local control to avoid losing instructional days or pushing school end dates later into June. Representative Joachim, who explained a start-date amendment based on house file 1124 language, described the proposal as “a thoughtful compromise” that preserves the Sept. 1 floor while giving districts options for school years with late Labor Day dates.

Opponents — many representing Greater Minnesota and resort areas — argued the change would harm local economies and family traditions that cluster around the Labor Day weekend, and urged members to protect the long-standing late start. Representative Bliss and others warned the move would take weeks out of short resort seasons and reduce revenue for small businesses.

On school-discipline changes, backers of restoring limited suspension authority for early grades urged that administrators and staff face unsafe classrooms and need a concise tool to remove a student for a short time while teams plan supports. Opponents cited state data on disproportionate suspensions among students of color and students with disabilities and urged continued use of nonexclusionary practices and focused supports. Representative Frasier and others pointed to Department of Human Rights and Department of Education analyses showing large disparities in past suspension patterns and recommended caution before reversing the nonexclusionary approach.

After votes on multiple amendments, the House adopted the substitute and passed the bill. Sponsors said they will continue work in conference committee with the Senate on outstanding fiscal and policy issues.

Votes at a glance: amendment adopting house language (substitute) — adopted; start-date amendment (a1) — adopted 84 ayes, 46 nays; disciplinary amendment a3 (restore K–3 suspension authority) — failed (tie) 67 yeas, 67 nays; amendment a4 (alternate discipline compromise) — failed 67 yeas, 67 nays; final passage — 131 yeas, 3 nays.

The bill’s supporters noted that other education and funding bills remain to be resolved in conference, and they framed SF 1740 as a policy package aimed at local control, innovation authority and technical fixes rather than a large new spending plan.","The House passed Senate File 1740, a substitute education policy bill incorporating House language and several adopted amendments that give districts two-year start-date flexibility; contentious amendments to restore suspensions and broaden disciplinary options failed or were narrowly rejected during floor debate.","actionData","errors"]
