21:10Now PlayingFollowing breakfast with the four caucus leaders, Governor Mark Dayton spoke to the press in the Governor's Reception Room Tuesday, March 20, regarding legislative action to improve the Minnesota Licensing and Registration System, referred to as MNLARS. Dayton requested $10 million dollars for the Department of Public Safety's ongoing efforts to fix the state's struggling DMV licensing and registration system. On Monday, the Senate and the House approved differing bills to fund the project.
The Governor said the Senate's proposal is acceptable while the House language, which requires a transfer of funds from other state agencies, is unacceptable and would be vetoed if it reaches his desk. The Senate bill transfers $9.65 million dollars from existing funds for driver and vehicle services for fixing the IT problems within MNLARS.
A conference committee will resolve the differences between the Senate and House bills.
The Governor also took questions from the press on other topics, including tax conformity and school safety.
