About the Bill Tracker
The Minnesota Legislature introduces dozens of bills each session that affect people with disabilities. Some bills aim to improve lives, while others may negatively impact the disability community. To help you stay informed, we maintain this list of disability-related bills.
This tracker provides information about legislation introduced during session. It does not indicate MCD’s support or opposition to any bill. To learn more about the legislative priorities we support, please read our 2025 Public Policy Agenda.

Understanding Bill Status
Each bill listing includes a status indicator:
INTRODUCED: The bill has been introduced this session, but no hearings are scheduled. Bills without committee hearings before the committee deadlines are unlikely to pass this session.
ACTIVE: The bill has been heard or is scheduled for a committee hearing. It is under consideration for passage during the 2025 legislative session.
