  • 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.
