Legislature Begins in Unknown Territory 

On Tuesday, January 14, 2025, the Minnesota Legislature convened the 2025 legislative session, but while most first days are largely ceremonial, this year the House of Representatives got off to a rocky start.

The 2025 Minnesota legislative session begins today, January 14, 2025.

This morning Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) released the November budget forecast, detailing the projected changes to the state’s budget since the end of the 2024 legislative session. This yearly forecast is released leading up to the legislative session and then an additional forecast is released in February to assist in the crafting of a biennial budget.
