AGENDA
9:00 a.m. Accelerating economic growth
How can tax relief make Minnesota competitive? Legislators are discussing several key policies this session to lower costs, conform with federal tax reform and help employers invest in their business and workforce instead of paying more in taxes.

• Senator Carla Nelson (R-Rochester), Chair, Senate Taxes Committee 
• Representative Paul Marquart (DFL – Dilworth), Chair, House Taxes Committee 

Also, hear an update on the progress toward replenishing the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund with existing funds instead of raising payroll taxes.

• Representative Barb Haley (R-Red Wing), Chief author of HF2728

9:45 a.m. Do no harm
Once again this year, lawmakers are debating proposals that would impose one-size-fits-all mandates on businesses pertaining to paid leave for employees. Hear what these proposals would mean for your business, and some commonsense policies that would allow businesses to keep autonomy over offering competitive benefits during a historic workforce shortage.

• Senator Rich Draheim (R - Madison Lake), Chair, Senate Housing Finance and Policy Committee

10:15 a.m. Hot topics and analysis from leadership
What are the other topics that will impact this legislative session? The elections, redistricting, public safety and other key issues will likely shape legislative and public debate this year. Hear from decision-makers the potential outcomes of these policies this year.
