Overview
- The gun package, which remained sidelined Sunday, saw no House floor vote as the session’s midnight deadline approached.
- SF 4067 would ban certain semiautomatic rifles, cap magazine size, restrict ghost guns and binary triggers, require safe storage, and fund school mental-health support.
- DFL lawmakers held a roughly 36-hour sit-in and, following Saturday’s rally, families from Annunciation Catholic School urged leaders to hold a vote.
- Speaker Lisa Demuth says the measures failed on party-line votes in House committees, while Republicans urge a vote on school-safety pieces without the gun bans.
- Even as the gun bill stalled, both chambers passed a Capitol security plan that keeps weapons screening and creates a State Patrol unit to investigate threats to lawmakers.
