In a crammed special session, Minnesota lawmakers successfully passed a $66 billion budget, averting a government shutdown. However, the budget includes controversial measures, such as repealing MinnesotaCare for undocumented adults, which significantly impacts healthcare access for immigrant communities. Governor Walz acknowledged the compromises made to secure the deal, which was delivered to his desk with hours to spare. This legislative session, marked by intense debates, also addressed funding for K-12 education and environmental initiatives, but the exclusion of healthcare for undocumented immigrants has drawn criticism from various advocacy groups.
