Number of members of the house of representatives and the senate modified.
This bill proposes reducing the number of Minnesota state legislators from 134 representatives and 67 senators to 135 representatives and 45 senators. The changes would take effect on January 3, 2033, and would apply to legislative sessions organized on or after that date. The bill requires redrawing legislative district boundaries to match the new seat counts, with each district electing one representative or senator. This legislation directly affects Minnesota's state legislature structure and the process for future redistricting.
