Residents of Woodbury may want to follow a Minnesota legislative proposal concerning here’s what’s in the ’s public safety.
The House passed a conference report on a public safety and judiciary bill on Monday that contains a number of controversial provisions.
On Monday night the House DFL majority voted 69-63 to adopt the conference committee report for SF2909.
Dave Lislegard from Aurora, voted against it.
That comes after the Senate voted 34-33 on Friday to adopt the report, which also includes controversial language surrounding a Human Rights statute, a provision that gives prosecutors the ability to decrease a judge’s sentence, and the creation of an Office for Restorative Justice.
House DFL leaders are doubling down on their promises in recent weeks to finish their work by Thursday, May 18.
But Republicans say ending the session four days early will shortchange the public as several omnibus bill conference reports are being agreed upon outside of those committees and are being rushed to the House and Senate floors before all legislators have enough time to vet them.
“We have days left in this legislative session and the public deserves to hear what is being talked about, what is going to potentially become law,” House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring, told media on Friday.
As the measure advances, residents of Woodbury can follow amendments and contact Amanda H. Hemmingsen-Jaeger regarding the final language.
