Reading for the Start of Session
Whether you're a brand new or seasoned denizen of the Minnesota Legislature, three useful publications from nonpartisan legislative offices have arrived in time for the start of the 2021-2022 regular legislative session.
A helpful new publication from Senate Counsel, Research, and Fiscal Analysis describes the mechanics of how a bill becomes a law in Minnesota in a clear and succinct outline: Legislative Process in Minnesota. The last section summarizes special procedures and new rules adopted by the House and Senate in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first year of a new biennium is typically referred to as the "budget year," when the House, Senate, and governor's office put forth proposals for the state budget. As lawmakers discuss the state budget, they often request a fiscal note on a bill, which the Legislative Budget Office (LBO) describes as "an objective estimate of the fiscal impact to the state from the implementation of a proposed bill." The LBO's Fiscal Note User Guide, updated in November, outlines how and when fiscal notes are created and best practices used in their creation.
Another new publication offers a historical perspective on a complex policy issue: The Local Government Aid (LGA) Program: A History. This paper, by long-time and recently-retired House Research analyst Pat Dalton, describes how LGA got its start and how it has evolved over the past fifty years.
In addition to state documents and mandated reports, the Library regularly adds books to our collection that are of interest to policy makers and legislative staff. As intensive committee work gets underway, budgets are discussed, and policy options are explored, two new titles may be of interest. In Too Much Information: Understanding What You Don't Want to Know, author Cass Sunstein "examines the effects of information on our lives" with an intriguing argument that when it comes to information, "sometimes less is more." And in Counting: How We Use Numbers to Decide What Matters, author and political scientist Deborah Stone "examines a variety of controversial political issues in her investigation into how numbers are shaped by human perceptions."
