A Senate resolution relating to conduct of Senate business during the interim between Sessions

This Senate resolution outlines how the Minnesota Senate will operate during the break between the 2024 and 2025 legislative sessions. It authorizes the Committee on Rules and Administration to assign study tasks to committees, fill vacancies in appointed groups, and manage staff hiring and compensation. The Secretary of the Senate is given specific duties to maintain records, handle contracts for building repairs and supplies, and oversee employee benefits while ensuring expenses for active members are reimbursed. Essentially, the bill provides the rules and funding mechanisms needed to keep Senate operations running smoothly when the legislature is not in regular session.
