The MN Legislature is in session from Jan - May 22, 2023.
Legislators propose bills. Committee chairs prioritize which bills get heard first. Then the MN House and the MN Senate debate and pass bills. Approved bills are bundled into an "Omnibus Bill" from each Committee, which then gets negotiated and re-approved by the MN House, MN Senate and gets signed by the Governor.
