University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum providing free access to a guest of a disabled veteran request provision

Minnesota Senate Bill 3302, introduced on April 7, 2025, by Senators Julia Coleman and Jim Abeler, proposed that the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum provide free admission to a guest accompanying a disabled veteran. The bill was referred to the Agriculture, Veterans, Broadband, and Rural Development Committee but did not progress further.

While there is no specific media coverage on Senate Bill 3302, the proposal aligns with existing policies at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, which offers free admission to permanent service-connected disabled veterans and one guest. ([arb.umn.edu](https://arb.umn.edu/visit/accessibility?utm_source=openai)) This consistency suggests that the bill's intent was in line with the Arboretum's established practices.

There is no available media coverage indicating opposition to Senate Bill 3302. The bill's failure to progress may reflect a lack of significant public or legislative support, but without specific media reports, this remains speculative.
