Join us IN-PERSON at the Capitol on April 20 and help move the business community policy agenda forward! Our legislative leaders need to hear from you, business and community leaders who create jobs and economic prosperity across Minnesota.
AGENDA
9:00 a.m. Accelerating economic growth
How can tax relief make Minnesota competitive? Legislators are discussing several key policies this session to lower costs, conform with federal tax reform and help employers invest in their business and workforce instead of paying more in taxes.
Senator Carla Nelson (R-Rochester), Chair, Senate Taxes Committee
Representative Paul Marquart (DFL – Dilworth), Chair, House Tax Committee
Also, hear an update on the progress toward replenishing the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund with existing funds instead of raising payroll taxes.
Representative Barb Haley (R-Red Wing), Chief author of HF2728
9:45 a.m. Do no harm
Once again this year, lawmakers are debating proposals that would impose one-size-fits-all mandates on businesses pertaining to paid leave for employees. Hear what these proposals would mean for your business, and some commonsense policies that would allow businesses to keep autonomy over offering competitive benefits during a historic workforce shortage.
10:15 a.m. Hot topics and analysis from leadership
What are the other topics that will impact this legislative session? The elections, redistricting, public safety and other key issues will likely shape legislative and public debate this year. Hear from decision-makers the potential outcomes of these policies this year.
Senator Jeremy Miller (R- Winona), Senate Majority Leader
We will meet with our elected officials and enjoy lunch together in the afternoon.
