ST. PAUL, Minn. – A committee in the Democrat-controlled House debates a bill Tuesday to ban nearly all no-knock search warrants by police.
At the same time, a Senate committee debates a bill that would eliminate state income tax on Social Security benefits — something that has little chance of passing the House. There’s a House committee discussion of making slots for four-thousand pre-kindergarten students permanent in Minnesota.
Senate Republicans roll out their proposal to dedicate sales tax on auto parts totally to roads and bridges. And a House panel hears a bill to limit the use of “non-compete” employment agreements, which Democratic backers say are hurting low- and medium-wage earners.
