Minnesota legislators prepare for start of session

Minnesota’s 2026 legislative session begins in just a few weeks, and legislators are preparing to tackle a wide range of topics.

Last year brought a myriad of challenges for Minnesota — a federal government shutdown, federal funding uncertainty and fraud investigations. In early fall, the state Senate formed the Subcommittee on the Federal Impact on Minnesotans and Economic Stability to better understand how communities around the state were faring.

The committee traveled across Minnesota, releasing nonpartisan reports in January based on community testimonies and research, Chair Sen. Lindsey Port (DFL-Burnsville) said. The reports are intended to help inform legislative action this session.
