SF941 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))

Constitutional amendment proposal providing for staggered terms for senators

AI Generated Summary

The bill S.F. No. 941 proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution to establish staggered terms for state senators. If passed, this amendment would change election cycles such that senators from even-numbered districts would serve two-year terms following each new legislative redistricting, while senators from odd-numbered districts would serve two-year terms just before redistricting. This alteration aims to ensure that not all senators are elected at the same time. The amendment will be presented to voters in the 2026 general election, asking whether they agree to implement these staggered terms for state senators.
