    Legislative Update: March 25, 2019 MN Association of Watershed Districts What happened last week (March 18-22)? • The drainage work group bill was amended in the Senate to include a 5-year sunset on the portion of the bill that included the repair cost apportionment option. • The Senate introduced their environmental policy omnibus bill (SF 835) that includes the drainage work group bill and our coordinated watershed management and carp bills. • The Clean Water Fund appropriations bill was amended in the House. Some of the changes from the Clean Water Council recommendations include: technical assistance and research funds were zeroed out for the Department of Agriculture, money for conservation drainage projects ($3M) was zeroed out, the MPCA budget for intensive monitoring was decreased by $1.2M, and the Conservation Reserve and Enhancement Program (CREP) saw a decrease of $12.5M. Increased budgets went to Forever Green ($6.7M), the Targeted Wellhead Protection Program ($5.25M), and the Drinking Water Contaminants of Emerging Concern Program ($7.542M). • The watershed planning modification bill (HF 2011) has a second hearing in the House. • Several bills for flood hazard mitigation bonding were heard in the House. What’s happening this week (March 25-29)? • The second policy committee deadline is March 29th.

    August 26, 2019 Minnesota State Legislature 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. St. Paul, MN 55155 Adele Gagliardi, Administrator Office of Policy Development and Research U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW Room N-5641, Washington, DC 20210 RE: U.S. DOL Industry Recognized Apprenticeship Programs Implementation Proposed Rule - RIN 1205-AB85 Administrator Gagliardi: As Legislators from all across the State of Minnesota, we write to affirm the value of Registered Apprenticeship programs in training the safest, most highly skilled construction workforce for the State of Minnesota, and to express our support for the permanent exemption for the construction industry in the proposed rule: Apprenticeship Programs, Labor Standards for Registration, Amendment of Regulations (1205-AB85). There are currently over 10,000 Registered Apprentices in Minnesota in more than 50 privately funded construction Registered Apprenticeship Programs training to be our State’s future plumbers, electricians, iron workers, crane operators, laborers, carpenters and other highly skilled trades workers. Registered Apprenticeships have been the pathway for more women and minorities to enter the construction trades and Minnesota contractors, business owners, and communities rely on Registered Apprenticeship programs to train our future construction workers to grow our State’s economy and ensure our safety. Unfortunately, if expanded to include the construction industry, the proposed rules would undermine the integrity and drive down the training and labor standards in construction Registered Apprenticeship programs, setting off a race to the bottom in Minnesota’s construction industry. Minnesota is not willing to jeopardize the quality of its construction and the safety and security of its construction workforce.

  • Senate File 959 (EAB Provisions, Senate/House Environment
    MEMORANDUM May 6, 2021 Senator Bill Ingebrigtsen Representative Rick Hansen Senator Carrie Ruud Representative Ami Wazlawik Senator Justin Eichorn Representative Kelly Morrison Senator David Tomassoni Representative Peter Fischer Senator Torrey Westrom Representative Josh Heintzeman Dear Members of the Environment and Natural Resources Conference Committee (SF959): The Partnership on Waste and Energy (Partnership) is a Joint Powers Board of Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington counties. We seek to end waste, promote renewable energy and enhance the health and resiliency of communities we serve while advancing equity and responding to the challenges of a changing climate. In a separate letter addressed to the committee, the Partnership included support for certain Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) provisions amidst comments on several other provisions in the Senate and House omnibus bills currently being deliberated in the committee. We would like to call specific attention to these EAB provisions and emphasize our strong support. EAB is now established in at least 27 Minnesota counties and continues to spread. Communities are removing and replacing ash trees as quickly as funding will allow to slow the spread of EAB. The challenge of properly managing the surge of waste wood created as we battle EAB is one of the urgent concerns of the Partnership. State law prohibits landfilling wood waste. Wood waste cannot be sent to MSW waste-to-energy facilities. Open burning, even if it were allowed, creates fire dangers and poor air quality, adversely impacting human health. The Partnership urges the conferees to adopt the following provisions to increase efforts to slow the spread of EAB and slow the rate of increase of wood waste.
