New Laws
Several new laws went into effect on July 1st. They included licensing for athletic trainers, changes to the Taconite Economic Development Fund, adjustments to the legislative budget office, and personal claims against the state. You can read more about the new laws here.
Last Update Until November
This is my last update until after the election. Due to campaign finance laws, legislators cannot use state resources for unsolicited communications during an election period because it might create an unfair advantage. Despite hitting the pause button on my legislative updates, I am still available to meet, answer questions, and discuss issues important to our community. You are always welcome to contact me at 651-296-7153 or rep.jamie.becker-finn@house.mn. I look forward to hearing from you! |

Thank you!
I’d also like to thank you for the opportunity to serve our community at the State Capitol. My top priority as your voice has been to ensure the things our community values are at the forefront here at the Capitol. By working together we can build a better future for all Minnesotans. That includes making health care accessible and affordable; guaranteeing our kids have a first-class education; making higher education and job training a reality for Minnesotans; and keeping our communities safe and healthy for everyone.
