Minnesota Legislative & Regulatory

Legislative

The 94th regular session of the Minnesota Legislature adjourned sine die at midnight May 17, 2026. The 95th regular session of the Minnesota Legislature will convene on Tuesday, January 12, 2027.

MRES continuously monitors bills introduced in the Minnesota Legislature that could affect municipal electric utilities in the state.

Once the 2027 session begins, bills that MRES is following can be found by clicking the links labeled "Minnesota 2027 House Bill Introductions" and "Minnesota 2027 Senate Bill Introductions." On each of these two pages, you will find links to the bills and bill history, a status update and other information.

For more information about legislative activity in Minnesota, go to the Members Only section of the website to read the MRES Legislative Line, which breaks down bills and legislative issues for each of Missouri River's four member states — Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.
