State House

The Minnesota House of Representatives is considering sweeping changes to their decades-old discrimination and sexual harassment policies.

A Minnesota state House committee has passed a bill that would let county attorneys carry guns on the job.

It's now up to voters to decide whether to ban gay marriage in Minnesota. A proposed constitutional amendment that would define marriage as between only a man and a woman was approved Saturday night in the Minnesota House.

The Rules Committee of the Minnesota House has narrowly approved a floor vote on the constitutional gay marriage amendment. The committee voted 13-12 Wednesday to put the issue before the full House. The committee's Republican majority voted in favor, with one defection from Rep. Tim Kelly of Red Wing.

A $900 million package of budget cuts that passed the House is expected to get a vote in the Senate on Thursday. Senate approval would send the bill Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, who has criticized the legislation as a piecemeal approach to Minnesota's $6.2 billion deficit.

A stalemate-induced Minnesota government shutdown has gotten a fresh look from a House committee before the real budget debate even begins at the Capitol.

Minnesota state senators will soon have to get by on a little less meal money.
