2026 Legislative Update
The annual Legislative Update highlights the current Minnesota legislative session and the issues that are impacting area businesses and organizations. This event connects Chamber members directly with the decision makers in St. Paul for information and discussion on the legislative session.
We are excited to bring back our “Covering the Capitol” segment, which brings together journalists who cover the legislative session. This discussion will offer an inside look at the dynamics shaping policy decisions, the challenges of covering state government, and perspectives on bipartisan collaboration at the Capitol.
