PROCLAMATION FOR SEVENTH SPECIAL SESSION 2020

Whereas, An extraordinary occasion, as envisioned by the Minnesota Constitution, has arisen, and it is necessary to extend the COVID-19 Peacetime Emergency originally declared on March 13, 2020.

 

Now, Therefore, I, Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota, by the authority vested in me by Article IV, Section 12 of the Minnesota Constitution and Sections 4.03 and 12.31 of the Minnesota Statutes, summon the members of the Legislature to convene in a Seventh Special Session on Monday, December 14, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. at the State Capitol in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
