Summary of actions

[edit]

In this Legislature, all acts were approved (signed) by Governor Mark Dayton, with the notable exceptions of H.F. No. 809, an act that would have prohibited public funding of abortions; H.F. No. 812, an act that would have required facilities that perform abortions to be licensed; the first set of acts appropriating money for the state budget; H.F. No. 4, the first 2017 omnibus tax act; H.F. No. 140, an act that would have changed how public school teachers are licensed; 2017, First Special Session S.F. No. 3, an act that would notably have prohibited local governments from setting a higher minimum wage and requiring greater benefits for private sector employees than what is required by state law; H.F. No. 4385, the first 2018 omnibus tax act; H.F. No. 390, an act that would have increased penalties for obstructing freeways, airport public roadways, and interfering with public transit; S.F. No. 3656, the omnibus supplemental appropriations act; H.F. No. 947, the second 2018 omnibus tax act; and S.F. No. 2809, an act that would have changed the composition of the Metropolitan Council from gubernatorial appointees to county and city elected officials—all of which were vetoed. In Laws 2017, First Special Session chapter 4, the omnibus state government appropriations act, two appropriations for the Senate and the House of Representatives were line-item vetoed. Chapter 13, the reinsurance act, became law without the governor's signature.

In total, 33 acts were vetoed, three items of appropriation in two acts were line-item vetoed, and two acts became law without the governor's signature.[74] No acts or items were enacted by the Legislature over the governor's veto. After the adjournment of the 2017, First Special Session—legislative leaders sued Governor Dayton over the validity of his line-item vetoes for legislative appropriations. The ensuing court case, Ninetieth Minnesota State Senate v. Dayton, proceeded to the Minnesota Supreme Court; the Court upheld the governor's vetoes.[75]
