As part of a collaboration with the Minnesota Women’s Press, we recently covered a public safety-related press conference out of the Minnesota House.

The three bills discussed were:

• House File 16 banning conversion therapy from Rep. Athena Hollins (DFL–District 66B);
• House File 55, which would create the first-ever-in-the-nation Office of Missing and Murdered Black Women and Girls, authored by Rep. Ruth Richardson (DFL–District 52B);
• House File 30 addressing catalytic converter thefts, also authored by Rep. Richardson.
