1:20:13Now PlayingThe Senate Finance Committee advanced a bill Thursday, May 16, that would continue to fund state government operations over the coming two fiscal years should budget negotiations fail.
Sponsored by Senator Roger Chamberlain, R-Lino Lakes, the bill would fund agency services and state employees at the projected amounts required according to the latest state budget forecast.
Chamberlain said the bill is "protecting state workers, protecting the people who depend on those services and protecting the people who pay the bills." Speaking in opposition to the measure, Senator John Marty, DFL-Roseville, said, "I think this is premature...I think this puts things on auto pilot."
The Legislature must adjourn by midnight on Monday, June 20th. Following the adjournment, only the governor is empowered to call them back into special session to complete a budget.
