93rd Minnesota Legislature

The Ninety-third Minnesota Legislature is the current meeting of the legislative branch of the state of Minnesota, composed of the Minnesota Senate and the Minnesota House of Representatives. It convened in Saint Paul on January 3, 2023.

This was the first legislature to be fully DFL-controlled since the 88th Minnesota Legislature in 2013–15. During the first session (2023), the body passed a number of major reforms to Minnesota law, including requiring paid leave, banning noncompete agreements, cannabis legalization, increased spending on infrastructure and environmental issues, tax modifications, codifying abortion rights, universal free school meals, and universal gun background checks among others. The Star Tribune called it "one of the most consequential" ever in Minnesota, while Governor Tim Walz stated that it was the "most productive session in Minnesota history." Some journalists compared the session to the 67th Minnesota Legislature, which from 1971–1973 enacted major changes to school finance known as the "Minnesota Miracle".

The 2024 legislative session is scheduled to begin in February. The primary agenda for even-year sessions traditionally centered on passing a public construction bill and introducing new policy measures, given the two-year budget was adopted in the previous year. A central task for this session is the assembly of a public construction bill, aimed at financing a range of infrastructure projects across the state. Legislative attention will also be directed towards refining the state's framework for the newly legalized adult-use cannabis market. Efforts will focus on streamlining the licensing process for growers and retailers to facilitate a swift transition from the illicit market to a regulated legal market. Another significant issue is the role and responsibilities of school resource officers, particularly in light of recent legislation concerning student restraints.

Legislative leaders have indicated a more restrained approach to new spending in 2024. The focus will be on implementing and evaluating the effects of the existing $72 billion two-year budget, with new taxes being ruled out for the year.
