House DFL leader Melissa Hortman was the lone Democrat in the tied state House to cross over on Monday and vote for a bill to repeal a recent law which gave illegal alien adults access to a public health insurance program.
Following a four-hour debate on the House floor, the first bill of a one-day special session passed by a vote of 68-65, as Hortman, DFL-Brooklyn Park, voted with 67 Republicans on a standalone bill to repeal most of a 2023 law that expanded MinnesotaCare access to illegal immigrants.
Sixty-five Democrats in the House voted against the repeal, which applies to adults only. Rep. Peter Fischer, DFL-Maplewood, didn’t cast a vote.
