Purpose

It also directs an update to signs in the Capitol complex to reflect the new name and provides a funding source for that signage change. Additionally, it instructs the state’s revisor to update references to the building’s name in state statutes and rules.

Main Provisions

• Renaming the building: The Minnesota Senate Building, located at 95 University Avenue West in St. Paul, would be renamed the Kari Dziedzic Senate Building.

• Revisor instruction: The revisor of statutes would replace every occurrence of “Minnesota Senate Building” with “Kari Dziedzic Senate Building” in Minnesota Statutes and Minnesota Rules.

Significant Changes and Impact
