3:07:44Now PlayingOn a party-line vote, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced a bill that would provide two-year funding for the judiciary and public safety agencies and programs. The plan, SF 802, sponsored by Chair Warren Limmer, R-Maple Grove, would provide an additional $25 million to base spending as compared to Governor Walz's proposed $224.5 million dollar increase.
With members from both parties expressing disappointment over the size of the funding package, committee members rejected amendments to add more funds to hire correctional officers, strengthen public safety efforts or expand human rights services throughout the state. Chair Limmer explained to committee members that he is open to further discussions with the House and Governor Walz about shaping a plan that better meets the growing demand for public safety services.
The bill was sent to the full Finance Committee for further review.
