Legislator compensation prohibited.

HF 1026 proposes a constitutional amendment to Minnesota's Constitution that would prohibit state legislators from receiving pay on days when their chamber (Senate or House) fails to organize on the legally required convening date. The amendment specifies that legislators must not be compensated for any day the house is not "duly organized" as required by law. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, this change would directly affect Minnesota legislators' compensation during unorganized sessions. The bill requires voter approval at the 2026 election and does not change current pay schedules for properly convened sessions.
