2026 Bill Tracker

About the Bill Tracker

Each year, the Minnesota Legislature introduces dozens of bills that impact the lives of people with disabilities—sometimes positively, sometimes not.

Here, you’ll find up-to-date information on key disability-related legislation introduced during the 2026 session.

Note: This tracker is for informational purposes only. It does not indicate MCD’s support or opposition to any bill. For positions on certain bills, refer to our Public Policy Letters. For overall priorities, refer to our 2026 Legislative Agenda.

Using This Tracker

Use the tracker to:

  • Browse bills by category (e.g., transportation, health care, education, civil rights)
  • Check bill status to know where it is in the legislative process
  • Select a bill number to read full details on the Minnesota Revisor’s website
  • Return often to track changes as bills move through the legislative process

Tip: Use your browser’s “Find” function (CTRL + F or equivalent) to search for a particular bill.

Understanding Bill Status

Each bill listed in the tracker includes a brief status update. Use them to follow bills and engage at the right time.

  • Introduced: The bill has been officially filed and is waiting to be heard in a legislative committee.
  • Active: The bill is currently scheduled for a hearing or has already been heard.
  • Held Over: The bill has not advanced on its own but may be folded into a larger bill later in session known as an omnibus bill.

Learn more about our Bill Tracking System.

Staying Engaged

We encourage you to follow the bills that matter most to you—and to have your say when they are debated. Whether you choose to testify at a hearing, contact your legislator, or share your experience online, your advocacy helps shape inclusive policies.
