28:31Now PlayingA long-fought initiative to provide diabetics access to both emergency and long-term insulin passed the legislature and was signed into law by Governor Walz. Senator Scott Jensen, R-Chaska, has been credited with finding the compromise that pushed the bill over the finish line. He joins Capitol Report moderator Shannon Loehrke to explain the new law that will help diabetics obtain and keep the life-sustaining drug.
Also on the program, Wisconsin’s handling of its recent presidential primary has Minnesota lawmakers considering what, if any, accommodations should be made. Senator Mary Kiffmeyer, chair of the State Government and Elections Subcommittee and a former Secretary of State, joins Capitol Report moderator Shannon Loehrke to offer her perspective on the best process for Minnesota to vote this fall. Plus, the uncertainty of the pandemic’s length is prompting some states to consider enacting vote-by-mail. Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Utah already do allow voters to mail in ballots. Senator Nick Frentz, DFL - North Mankato, supports the concept, and he joins Capitol Report Shannon Loehrke to discuss his proposed "Defending Democracy" proposal.
