Minnesota’s 2023 Legislative Session Wrap Up

The Minnesota Legislature adjourned its 2023 session, leaving small business owners with burdensome mandates, higher taxes, and more headaches. A quick breakdown of the disappointments passed by the Minnesota legislature include:
  • Higher labor costs and more burdensome regulations from new laws like the $1.5 billion, 20-week per year PFML mandate, the 10-day per year paid sick time mandate, and additional employment regulations;
  • Higher taxes and fees, making it more expensive to purchase and register vehicles (MVST and registration fee increases), send and receive retail deliveries (50 cent retail delivery tax), and more expensive to purchase supplies and equipment (1% metro area sales tax increase);
  • More expensive healthcare from new insurance mandates and more government interference from a state-controlled public option health plan; and
  • Higher electric bills from new energy mandates and new utility taxes to fund electric vehicle subsidies.
