Legislative Time Capsule

Compiled by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library

The Legislative Time Capsule pages consolidate important statistics and materials for each biennial session of the Legislature, beginning with the first territorial session. You can quickly find information for each legislative session on members, bills, laws, vetoes, dates, special sessions, leadership, and more.

The Minnesota Legislative Reference Library has tracked legislative statistics for decades. What first started as typewritten lists in notebooks have become pages on our website as we work toward more widely sharing our unique collections. In addition to Library compilations, the data come from the House and Senate, the Office of the Revisor of Statutes, and Legislative Manuals.
