From the Desk of Jill Sims: We’ve made it to the final stretch of the legislative session – less than 20 days to go! While the legal situation around Senator Mitchell keeps evolving, the Senate is pushing forward with business. The House and Senate are negotiating final bills, holding long floor debates and passing bills. Read on to learn more about the junk fees legislation, business relief for those impacted by no snow and ice, the tax and labor bills and a quick update on Paid Family Medical Leave.

FYI, on Tuesday, May 7, Hospitality Minnesota will partner with Minnesota Association of Convention and Visitors Bureaus to host lunch for legislators and staff to celebrate National Travel and Tourism week. All are welcome to join – we’ll be in the Capitol Vault from 11:00AM – 1:00PM!
