Major Appropriation and Finance Bills and Laws, 1977-present

Compiled by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library

This is a list of major appropriation and finance bills and laws from 1977 to the present, and is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all bills or laws containing appropriations. Bills and laws were identified using reports from the House Fiscal Analysis Department, Senate Counsel, Research and Fiscal Analysis, and the Legislative Reference Library's vetoes database.

To identify other appropriation or finance bills and laws not included here, use the bill search system, Minnesota Session Laws, Senate Counsel, Research and Fiscal Analysis' Fiscal Review publications and omnibus budget and policy bills page, the House Research Department's recent budget legislation page, or the House Fiscal Analysis Department's tracking spreadsheets.

Search major appropriation bills and laws by subject, description, or year. Keep in mind these searching tips and limitations:

• Subject searching: One or more broad subjects are assigned to every law/bill in the database. These subject assignments may not capture one-off appropriations in an omnibus bill on an unrelated subject.
• Description searching: Descriptions are typically taken from the “short subject” assigned to a bill by House or Senate Index offices, or are summarized from the law/bill title. Laws/bills may contain appropriations not represented in the description.

While efforts have been made to verify this information, errors or omissions are possible. Please report any errors to the library staff.
