HF 5086 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Governor required to deliver a state of the state address to the legislature no later than 30 days after the regular legislative session convenes each year.

This bill requires the Governor of Minnesota to deliver a State of the State address to the legislature within 30 days after the regular legislative session begins each year. The law applies to the Governor and sets a specific deadline for presenting this annual message to lawmakers. By establishing this timeline, the bill ensures the address occurs early in the legislative session, allowing legislators to consider the Governor's priorities without delay. The change is codified in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 4, and does not alter the content or format of the address itself.
