The 349 candidates who received a public subsidy payment represent 78% of the 449 legislative candidates who were on the general election ballot. A list of qualifying candidates and the payments they received is attached. Of the 504 candidates who filed for state legislative office this year, 401 (79.3%) signed voluntary agreements to abide by spending limits and other conditions required to be eligible for public subsidy payments for their campaigns.

  • Legislative Update
    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Welcome to the first Child Care Aware Legislative Update of the 2021 legislative session. This narrative update, along with our Bill Tracker, will be posted each Tuesday (reflecting activity through the previous Friday) on the Child Care Aware of Minnesota website. Each week we will provide a brief overview of bills that have been introduced, action that has been taken at the committee level or on the floor, and any other pertinent news related to early care and education and school-age care issues. If you have additions to recommend to the bill tracker, please contact Ann McCully. OVERVIEW The Legislature convened on Tuesday, January 5 and is off to a quick start. There is no question that the state’s response to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic is the primary issue facing legislators as they begin this session. This also a budget year to set the state’s budget for July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023, and while the economic picture has improved since the initial budget forecast last spring, there is still a projected budget deficit in the coming years, leading to some tough decisions ahead. More information about the budget projections can be found on the State Office of Management and Budget website. COMMITTEE STRUCTURE A new, two-year legislative session brings new members, new committees, and new committee assignments. While early care and education issues may show up in many places during the process, below are a few of the key committees that we will be watching. We encourage you to follow them as well! To find out about committee upcoming committee hearings and topics, visit the Minnesota State Legislature combined calendar page.

  • MACTE Weekly Legislative Update, 2.16.20 Prepared by Cyndy Crist, MACTE Legislative and Policy Liaison 2020 Session Underway. Th
    MACTE Weekly Legislative Update, 2.16.20 Prepared by Cyndy Crist, MACTE Legislative and Policy Liaison 2020 Session Underway. The Minnesota Legislature opened its 2020 session on Tuesday, February 11. As in all even-numbered years, this shorter session will focus on a bonding bill as well as other policy and funding issues it may choose to address. It seems likely that many of the policy issues that were included in omnibus bills last year but ultimately not enacted because of the deep divisions between the House, Senate, and Governor will be brought up again this year. This could include many of the preparation and licensure issues of interest to us in 2019, including changes in the tiered licensure structure and measures to increase the diversity of teachers in our state. In addition, the predicted budget surplus will be much on the minds of legislators as they decide whether to use or save surplus dollars and/or cut planned spending to reflect the additional funding. The committee structure from 2019 remains unchanged, although two new legislators have now been sworn in. In House District 60A, DFLer Sydney Jordan won a special election to fill the seat left vacant by the death of Diane Loeffler. House District 30A will now be represented by Republican Paul Novotny who was elected to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of Nick Zerwas. Since the new members are of the same party as the incumbents they are replacing, there is no change in the balance between the two parties in the House. It is also worth noting that all members of the House and Senate are up for election this year, and to date, approximately 14 current members have announced that they will not be seeking re-election.
