As the legislative session wraps up, Minnesota Republicans have laid out their end-of-session demands. They’re pushing for $30 million to help emergency medical services in Greater Minnesota but say their support for a bonding bill isn’t tied to this funding. They’re also against putting an Equal Rights constitutional amendment on the 2026 ballot, saying it infringes on religious liberties. When it comes to gun laws, Republicans want to see tougher penalties for “straw purchasing” firearms for felons, but they’re not on board with banning binary triggers or a new gun “safe storage” law.
