*Beloved Community,*

We passed our first bill of session this Monday! It was a bill I authored making technical corrections to our tax bill last year, making sure that everyone is able to receive the full benefit of our progressive 2023 tax act.

Caucuses are coming next week, on Tuesday February 27, 2024. You can learn more about participating from the Minnesota Secretary of State [ [link removed] ].

*Murdered & Missing Indigenous Relatives Day of Remembrance*

We recently honored Murdered and Missing Indigenous Relatives Day of Remembrance. Our colleagues in the Native American Legislative Caucus took a moment to reflect on this day, its importance, and held a moment of silence. For more information, I encourage you to check out the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Office [ [link removed] ], a first-in-the-nation office we established in 2021.

MMIR

Now available: MMIR specialty license plates. Fees paid by drivers who obtain a plate will be put into the Gaagige-Mikwendaagoziwag reward fund. To order license plates online or find an office to purchase them in-person, visit drive.mn.gov​ [ [link removed] ].

*Lawns to Legumes Program*

Minnesota residents can now apply for fall 2024 Lawns to Legumes funding. The Lawns to Legumes program aims to increase habitat for at-risk pollinators in residential settings across the state by providing people with cost-share funding, workshops, coaching and gardening resources.

Anyone can apply to be reimbursed for up to $400 in costs associated with establishing new pollinator habitat in their yards. Applications will be accepted through May 15, 2024. If you previously applied for the program, you will need to reapply to be considered for fall 2024 funding. Find more information here [ [link removed] ].
