Overview

• The Legislature finished a special session on June 9 by passing a $66 billion two-year budget to avert a partial government shutdown.
• The deal includes a $700 million bonding package for roads, bridges, dams and water systems statewide.
• It revokes MinnesotaCare coverage for adult undocumented immigrants starting at the end of the year while preserving enrollment for children.
• Electric vehicle registration surcharges have increased to at least $150 with new fees for plug-in hybrids and a future per-kilowatt-hour charging fee.
• Lawmakers faced criticism for negotiating the budget behind closed doors and DFL leaders cautioned that potential federal Medicaid cuts might require another special session later this year.
