Legislative removal of inferior executive branch officers provided.

HF 3578 allows Minnesota's legislature to remove state agency leaders (including heads, deputies, and division directors) for misconduct. The bill establishes a process where a legislator can file a complaint alleging "malfeasance" (willful unlawful act) or "nonfeasance" (willful failure to act), triggering a public hearing before a legislative committee. The committee must determine if the allegations are proven by "clear and convincing evidence" before recommending removal. This change directly affects over 100 executive branch officials across state agencies, adding a new legislative oversight tool for accountability.
