19:49Now PlayingThe Minnesota Senate passed a bill Tuesday, March 17, providing $200 million dollars in emergency funding for hospitals and other health organizations under stress due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Sponsored by Health and Human Services Chair Michelle Benson, R - Ham Lake, the bipartisan measure was approved by the House of Representatives and sent to Governor Tim Walz for his anticipated signature.
The action by the Senate follows an earlier $21 million dollar package aiding the Department of Health in addressing the pandemic. The legislature is following health guidelines by suspending committee and floor action between March 17 and April 14, unless leaders have agreed-upon legislation that needs to be acted upon.
