Minnesota Senate Passes $216M Virus Aid Package for Businesses, Workers

Minnesota Senate Passes $216M Virus Aid Package for Businesses, Workers The Minnesota Senate has voted on Dec. 14 to pass a $216 million relief package aimed at businesses and workers who took the biggest hit from a four-week “pause” ordered by Gov. Tim Walz as increasing coronavirus cases threatened to overload hospitals. The Senate voted 62-4 to approve the bill and send it to the House, which passed it on a vote of 117-13 and sent it to the governor for his signature. Legislative leaders from both parties agreed last week on a key component of the package, a grant program for businesses such as bars and restaurants that the governor shut down last month for all but takeout and delivery service. They agreed Dec. 13 on the other major component of the bill, extending unemployment insurance for affected workers for 13 weeks starting Dec. 27.
