Gov Signs 3 Bills Including Bill to Honor Melissa Hortman

(Learfield News/St. Paul, MN) – Governor Tim Walz signed three bills into law Tuesday.

One of the new laws honors late Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman by renaming Minnesota’s Community Solar Garden Program after her.

The governor said Hortman was a leader in solar energy and put Minnesota on the path to a clean energy future.

The governor also signed bills that will modernize estate planning by allowing electronic signatures, and allowing more health professionals that can serve as medical consultants for community health boards.
