(St. Paul, MN) — A Minnesota legislator plans to introduce a bill in the next legislative session that creates an independent office of inspector general. State Senator Heather Gustafson’s legislation passed in the 2025 session with 60 votes in the Senate, but the measure died in the House without a floor vote. The Vadnais Heights DFLer says taxpayers need the inspector general to oversee and investigate all state agencies because taxpayers have plenty at stake. Gustafson added that new fraud measures have been implemented, but also said an independent inspector general would have the authority to go even further.
