Number of leadership positions increased in each body.

HF 1198 increases the maximum number of leadership positions in Minnesota's House and Senate from five to six per chamber. It allows these positions to receive up to 140% of regular member compensation and requires each chamber to adopt a resolution designating majority and minority leaders elected by their largest and second-largest political caucuses. The change applies retroactively to January 14, 2025, affecting current and future leadership roles in both legislative bodies. This is a procedural adjustment to internal legislative structure, not a policy affecting the public.
