Three weeks after the 2025 legislative session ended, the legislature held a one-day special session to take up and pass the remaining pieces of the state’s biennial budget and avert the looming partial government shutdown that would have started July 1st.

Earlier today, Gov. Tim Walz formally called the Minnesota Legislature back to the State Capitol for a special legislative session, beginning Monday, June 9, 2025, at 10:00 am.

While the Minnesota legislature may have adjourned the 2025 legislative session at midnight on May 19, 2025, most legislators remained around the State Capitol last week in anticipation of a possible special legislative session.
