Minnesota legislation·HF 4252

Higher education funding and policy measure passes and heads to governor

By Alex Smith

Minnesota's HF 4252, a higher education finance and policy bill, has passed both chambers of the Legislature and was presented to the governor on May 20, 2026. The bill addresses higher education funding and policy matters in the state.

The bill was sponsored by Wolgamott with one co-sponsor. A conference committee reconciled differences between the two chambers, and on May 16, 2026, both the House and Senate adopted the conference committee report. The House repassed the amended bill by a vote of 101 to 33. (source: https://openstates.org/mn/bills/2025-2026/HF4252/)

The bill now awaits action by the governor, who may sign or veto it. No effective date beyond standard statutory timelines was noted in the available data.
