32:07Now PlayingThe Minnesota Senate gave its final approval Monday, June 21, to two budget bills that have cleared the House: the Legacy finance bill and the omnibus higher education finance and policy bill.
The first bill, HF 13, allocates $645.6 million via the 2008 Legacy Amendment in support of Minnesota’s outdoor heritage, clean water, parks and trails, and arts and cultural heritage. Senator Carrie Ruud, R-Breezy Point, chair of the Senate Legacy Committee, said to the Senate during the initial debate on the bill that she was especially proud of the work to ensure inclusiveness for cultural heritage grants. “The Legacy is for all Minnesotans,” she said.
The second bill, HF 7, sponosred by Senator David Tomassoni, I-Chisolm, provides a $3.5 billion investment in the state’s higher education system that will increase college affordability by providing stability and funding operations. In addition, more grant funding will be available for low and middle income families and the zero-textbook cost degrees (Z-degrees) will be expanded. The bill further provides support for hunger-free campuses and mental health services for students.
