The LMC 2023 City Policies publication was created with member input and approved by the LMC Board of Directors on Nov. 10. It is the only comprehensive statewide advocacy agenda for all Minnesota cities.
The policies cover the League’s legislative initiatives and defensive positions on a wide array of issues. The 2023 publication contains new policies on several issues, including city fundraising authority, regulation of cannabinoid products, collateral consequences and expungements, remote participation under the open meeting law, homestead market value exclusion, as well as changes to existing policies.
These policies will be referenced throughout the 2023 legislative session to guide the advocacy efforts of the League and individual Minnesota cities.
