    87Th LEGISLATIVE SESSION and COVID RESTRICTIONS On

    87th LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND COVID RESTRICTIONS On January 12, 2021, lawmakers from across the state will convene the 87th Texas Legislative Session, meeting for the Regular Session over the following 140 days through May 31. This will be the first time that all 181 legislators will come together since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the virus is top-of-mind for everyone involved. While the Governor recently announced the re-opening of the Capitol building on January 4, we have minimal knowledge of the health and safety protocols the members, staff and Capitol visitors will have to follow when they enter the building next week. It will surely be a much different environment than previous sessions. We know the following requirements will be in place as of today, per a memo released by the State Preservation Board last week: • The Capitol building will only be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; it will be closed Saturday and Sunday for cleaning. • The public may only enter through the North Capitol entrance. • Covid testing will be encouraged and provided on the North Plaza at no expense. • A mask will be required to be worn inside the building at all times. • All deliveries to the Capitol, including food and beverage, must be left at the loading dock; no delivery personnel will be allowed beyond the loading dock or through the public entrance. • No public tours or groups or sponsored event space will be available. • The House and Senate will manage public access to their offices once convened and rules are adopted, and the public will need to check with the offices directly for specific guidelines.

    2021 Legislative Wrap up Document

    UTAH LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS LEGISLATIVE2021 WRAP UP #Cities Work INTRODUCTION 2021 was a legislative session like no other: new Governor, new legislators, COVID-19, Zoom voting, and an earlier start date after several 2020 special sessions. ULCT successfully nav- igated the 2021 General Session by relying on the League’s pillars: respecting the roles of state and local government, collaborating with stake- holders, and targeting policy-focused outcomes. ULCT took a hands-on approach with over 60 bills—testifying, negoti- ating, writing language, 245 and other advocacy BILLS TRACKED work—in addition to the INTRODUCTION 245 bills we tracked. Despite many bills preempt- ing local government authority, ULCT effectively defeated legislation mandating digital billboards, expanding short-term rentals, and increasing bureaucracy around fees, to name a few. ULCT invested significant resources negotiating and amending two preemptive land use bills, and will continue discussions with legislators on inspec- tions, building design elements, and internal ac- cessory dwelling units. Several bills supporting and improving law enforcement were passed due to the efforts of the Love, Listen, Lead Task Force, a joint ULCT and Utah Chiefs of Police Association endeavor. The Legislature also passed an unprec- edented investment in transit and transportation projects, efforts supported by the ULCT Board. Ultimately, our success comes back to the unpar- alleled involvement by our members. Thank you! Of course, the session also created plenty of is- sues for the 2021 interim, including continuing discussions on water, land use, public safety, and much more. We encourage members to engage with the League through the Legislative Policy Committee, ULCT conferences, and League com- munications.

The idea behind the pro­ gram was to give one hundred and twenty Minnesota high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to see Minnesota government in operation. With a grant from the Minnesota Bicentennial Commission and the Minnesota Government Learning Center, URBAN CONCERNS WORKSHOPS INC. took six groups of twenty students to the Minnesota Capitol during the 1976 Legislative Session. The students had the opportunity to observe the Legislature in opera­ tion for one week, meet with state elected officials, Congressmen, Legislators, lobbyists, reporters, and legislative staff members. Representatives of both political parties talked with the stu­ dents and mock precinct caucuses were conducted. Each student also had the chance to visit with his or her legislator. With the success of the 1976 program, URBAN CONCERNS decided to continue the program even after the Bicentennial Celebration was over. Funded by the Minnesota Government Learning Center and individual contributors, the 1977 program was expanded. Even though the name remains PROJECT 120, one hundred and sixty Minne­ sota high school juniors and seniors will go to the Capitol in 1977. Instead of six weeks the program will run eight. More emphasis will be placed on what the students can do when they return home.

    Inside the Minnesota Senate Frequently Asked Questions This booklet was prepared by the staff of the Secretary of the Senate as a response to the many questions from Senate staff and from the public regarding internal operations of the Minnesota Senate. We hope that it will be a valuable source of information for those who wish to have a better understanding of how the laws of Minnesota are made. Your suggestions for making this booklet more useful and complete are welcome. Cal R. Ludeman Secretary of the Senate Updated February 2019 This document can be made available in alternative formats. To make a request, please call (voice) 651-296-0504 or toll free 1-888-234-1112. 1 1. What is the state Legislature and what is its purpose? There are three branches of state government: the executive, the judicial and the legislative. In Minnesota, the legislative branch consists of two bodies with members elected by the citizens of the state. These two bodies are called the Senate and the House of Representatives. Upon election, each Senator and Representative must take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of this state, and to discharge faithfully the duties of the office to the best of the member’s judgment and ability. These duties include the consideration and passage of laws that affect all of us. Among other things, laws passed by the Legislature provide for education, protect our individual freedoms, regulate commerce, provide for the welfare of those in need, establish and maintain our system of highways, and attempt to create a system of taxation that is fair and equitable.
