Legislative Evaluation Assembly of Minnesota

The Minnesota Legislature’s website offers a wealth of information for an informed citizenry. Video of hearings, the text of bills and statutes, records of actions of the legislature and witness commentary can all be found if you know where to look.

LEA encourages wide distribution of these videos and welcomes feedback.
