Governor Walz Signs Nine More Bills

(Learfield News/St. Paul, MN) — With 12 days to go in the legislative session, Governor Tim Walz signed another group of bills into law.

They include raising the legal age to buy kratom to 21 , banning cryptocurrency kiosks in Minnesota, and protecting homeowners for actions by peace officers when damage is caused or chemical irritants are used in their home.

That last bill was inspired by the son of late House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, who wanted to remediate and take care of their home following the political shootings of his parents almost a year ago.

In all, the governor signed nine new laws Tuesday at the Capitol.
