A $3.3 billion public safety and judiciary budget bill, which includes a pair of gun control measures, passed Monday in the Minnesota House.

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Senate DFL majority passed new gun safety measures late Friday, punctuating a historically productive 2023 session by successfully wrangling one of the toughest issues in U.S.

A key DFL leader in the Senate says his caucus has the votes to pass a public safety package that includes two gun policy reforms.

Both were priorities of DFL leaders including Gov. Tim Walz, and Democrats hold narrow majorities in the House and Senate. Republicans appear united in opposition, so all DFL senators would need to support the measures. It’s been unclear for months if the party has enough votes.

Background checks for gun shows and red flag provisions are in the $880 million public safety bill.
