The agriculture policy and supplemental budget bill passed in both the Minnesota House and Senate. With the midnight deadline approaching Sunday night, nine bills were combined into one in the House. Majority Leader Jamie Long said the minority has a right to be heard, but the majority has the right to govern and brought the massive bill to a vote. Chaos took over with Republicans upset with the DFL majority. Amid the commotion, the combined bill passed on a 70-50 margin in the House. After adjournment, Republicans filed an ethics complaint against House Speaker Melissa Hortman for pushing the large bill through at the last minute after shutting down the debate. On the Senate side, the ag bill passed with a 36-31 margin.
