Introduction
Each legislative session, dozens of bills are introduced that impact the disability community. Some bills aim to help, while others could have negative consequences for Minnesotans with disabilities. Here you will find a list of disability-related bills introduced during the legislative session.
Note: This list is simply meant to inform the public on disability-related legislation and does not imply support or opposition to the bills. To learn more about the legislative priorities that the Minnesota Council on Disability (MCD) does support, please view our Public Policy Agenda.
Our bill tracking page is updated weekly. To view the most recent bill introductions, visit the following pages:
2023 Bill Deadlines
You can now view which bills have met first or second deadline.
If a bill has met first deadline (March 10), it has been heard in committee in either the house or the senate. If a bill has met second deadline (March 24), it has been heard in committees in both the house and the senate. This legislative session has been historic for disability-related bills. Of the approximately 250 bills (and counting) introduced in 2023, 128 of them have met first or second deadline. In other years, we usually only see about one hundred disability-related bills introduced and about half will meet deadlines.
If a bill does not meet first and second deadline, it likely will not pass the 2023 legislative session; however, the deadline may be waived for some high-priority bills.
For the full status of a bill, follow the linked bill number to its Revisor page.
