According to FOX 9, several significant Minnesota laws take effect January 1, 2026, including a new Paid Family and Medical Leave program offering up to 20 weeks of paid benefits, stricter absentee ballot ID requirements, and changes to hunting rules as the long-standing shotgun-only zone in parts of southern Minnesota is repealed, leaving counties to decide any local limits. FOX 9 notes employers will also face updated break requirements, mandating at least a 30-minute meal break for every six consecutive hours worked.
At the Capitol, the Minnesota Legislature continues interim work ahead of the 2026 session, with joint working groups such as the Electricity as Vehicle Fuel Working Group meeting to shape future transportation and energy policy, according to the official Minnesota Legislature calendar. Representative Jamie Long reports in a recent legislative update that the latest state budget and economic forecast from Minnesota Management and Budget shows continued stability but flags long-term structural pressures that lawmakers will need to address in the coming session.
In business and the broader economy, Finance & Commerce reports that St. Paul-based North Wind has closed on land at UMore Park in Rosemount for a 1 billion dollar Minnesota Aerospace Complex, billed as one of the nation’s most advanced ground testing centers and backed in part by a Minnesota Forward Fund appropriation from the Legislature. Clean Energy Economy Minnesota highlights that the state added nearly 1,700 clean energy jobs last year, with clean energy employment growing about twice as fast as the overall economy, though upcoming federal policy changes could slow that momentum.
Community infrastructure and education projects remain a visible sign of investment. Spaces4Learning reports that Highland Park Middle School in St. Paul has completed a 23.5 million dollar addition and remodel, expanding connections to the adjacent high school and upgrading cafeterias, gyms, and special education spaces. South Washington County Schools also detail ongoing construction at multiple high schools and middle schools funded by voter-approved bonds, reflecting local support for long-term facility upgrades.
Weather is again front and center. Minnesota Public Radio News reports that a recent winter storm brought heavy snow and howling winds, forcing dozens of school districts to dismiss classes early and significantly worsening travel conditions across much of the state.
Looking ahead, listeners can expect continued debate over implementation of the new paid leave and election laws, legislative positioning before the 2026 session, early site work on the Rosemount aerospace complex, and more winter storm systems that could test infrastructure and emergency preparedness statewide.
