Electronic Minutes

In 2022, the Minnesota Senate began collecting official minutes in electronic format. Links to Senate minutes from 2022 to the present are included in the table below. The table also includes additional electronic minutes from legislative commissions and other entities, when available.

Note that in 2022, minutes were compiled both electronically and in print by Senate staff, and there may be discrepancies between the electronic and print collections. From 2023 onward, Senate minutes were only compiled electronically.

See the Minnesota Legislative History - Location of Materials page for more details, and please contact the Library if you have questions.
