Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called the seventh special session of the Legislature beginning December 14.
This session will focus on extending the COVID-19 peacetime emergency by 30 days.
Additionally, Walz will urge lawmakers to pass a COVID-19 relief package for small businesses, workers, and families.
Walz is obligated by law to call a special session for the Legislature to approve the extension of his emergency rule-making powers in response to the pandemic.
The Legislature will, then, determine the length of the session.
