MN Chamber Legislative Updates
|
In partnership with the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and other Chambers throughout the State,
we made real progress on addressing employer needs on several fronts from taxes, transportation and health care, education/workforce development, environmental regulations and energy costs.
-Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce
BUSINESS TAX RELIEF
The Legislature delivered the biggest tax relief bill for all Minnesotans since 2001. We have worked for years to reverse a number of tax laws that are a drag on our state's economy and potential growth. Specific to business, our victories:
Property tax:The automatic annual inflator in the statewide property tax was eliminated, and the first $100,000 of a property's market will be exempt from the state levy and the overall levy was reduced. This critical tax change will benefit every business located in our state by lowering this uncompetitive fixed cost of doing business.
Research-and-development credit:The tax credit will be enhanced by increasing the second-tier percent from 2.5% to 4%. This will ensure continued competitiveness for the innovation segment of Minnesota's economy.
Estate tax:The threshold for this tax will be increased from the current $2 million to $3 million by 2020. The federal level is $5.49 million. While we fell short of the goal of full conformity, this change is an important step toward encouraging successful individuals to retire in Minnesota and continue to invest in their communities and our state.
Residency factors:An individual's use of Minnesota financial advisers, accountants, etc., will no longer be used to determining residency for tax purposes. This is another critical consideration for highly mobile successful individuals and the professional service sector they rely on.
LAWSUIT REFORM
Minnesota has experienced a wave of abusive lawsuits by a small group of attorneys targeting small businesses by alleging technical violations of federal American with Disabilities Act and Minnesota Human Rights Act in order to achieve settlements and attorney fees. Working with a number of important partners including the Minnesota State Council on Disability, Legal Aid and the Department of Human Rights, the Minnesota Chamber led the way in addressing these abusive lawsuits and ensuring disabled individuals are able to gain access to businesses while mitigating the potential for lawsuit abuse. Minnesota businesses want to be accessible to all customers, but many of these lawsuits are not about access but instead about technical violations such as height and color of parking signs.
Mandatory notice to businesses: Plaintiffs represented by an attorney must provide a notice of an alleged accessibility violation and give businesses 60 days to respond (30 days longer for weather conditions) before a lawsuit can be filed for state claims under the Minnesota Human Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
