Conference committee adopts Minnesota housing omnibus, debates manufactured‑housing protections and private‑equity limits

A bipartisan conference committee approved a conference report on House File 1141 on May 12, 2026, directing staff to prepare a conference committee report that incorporates a funding spreadsheet and policy language. Members debated amendments on manufactured‑housing protections, flags in HOAs, private‑equity ownership caps and a rent‑control preemption; several failed to secure the three‑caucus majority required on roll calls.
