Minnesota’s 2021 Legislative Session officially began January 5 with Senator Bill Weber (R-Luverne) and 66 other State Senators swearing-into office during a ceremony at the State Capitol.

“I am humbled once again by the trust and support that the people of Cottonwood, Jackson, Lincoln, Lyon, Murray, Nobles, Pipestone, Redwood, and Rock counties have placed in me to represent Senate District 22 in the state legislature,” said Sen. Weber. “With the state reeling from the pandemic and consequent lockdowns, we need to work across the aisle to open Minnesota back up. We need to get our children back and school, our businesses open, and hardworking folks back in their jobs. Together, we can put the darkest days of the pandemic behind us and undo the damage from harmful one-size-fits-all shutdowns and rebuild Minnesota’s economy to increase opportunities for everyone.”

During the first few weeks of the session, most of Sen. Weber’s work will take place in Senate Committees. During the 2021-2022 session, Senator Weber has been appointed to serve on the following committees:

• Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Property Taxes
• Vice-Chair of the Environment and Natural Resources Policy and Legacy Finance Committee
• Rules and Administration Committee
• Taxes Committee
