House File No. 843 is a proposed bill which mandates that Minnesota legislators who are members of committees dealing with children and family policies or finances must spend at least 12 hours every two years observing operations at child care facilities. This requirement is aimed at ensuring these legislators have direct exposure to and understanding of the environments affected by their policy decisions. Additionally, the bill instructs both the House of Representatives and the Senate to establish rules to facilitate the implementation of this new requirement. The bill has been assigned to the Committee on State Government Finance and Policy for further deliberation.
