Purpose of the Bill

The bill aims to introduce a new procedure for how leadership positions are assigned within the Minnesota Legislative Coordinating Commission.

Main Provisions

• The bill stipulates that the vice-chair of the Legislative Coordinating Commission will alternate between the Senate and the House of Representatives every two years.
• It amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 3.303, subdivision 3, clarifying that the vice-chair position is held by either the president of the Senate or the speaker of the House when they are not serving as the chair.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• Under this new rule, the rotation of both the chair and vice-chair roles will occur at the beginning of each legislative session in an odd-numbered year, which provides a structured and predictable transition of leadership responsibilities.
