Governor Mark Dayton has called for a special legislative session to begin at 3 p.m. today. Under an agreement between Dayton and legislative leaders, no amendments will be allowed to the 12 bills to be considered.
“We worked very hard literally around the clock for the last four days and nights,” Dayton said.

An MPR report attempted to answer a question many MAPE members are asking:
How long will it take for government to re-open? Many of the budget bills say they take effect 'one day after final enactment.' That means state departments and state agencies can start work again one day after Dayton signs the bills into law. Some services won't be up and running right away though. State workers will get three days notice to return to work.”
