SC 2 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Senate concurrent resolution relating to the adoption of temporary joint rules

This bill is a Senate concurrent resolution that adopts the temporary joint rules from the previous legislative session as the governing rules for the current 94th session. It directly affects the Minnesota House of Representatives and Senate by establishing the procedural framework for their operations until permanent rules are adopted. The primary change updates the rules for conference committees, which resolve disagreements between the two chambers on legislation, by increasing the maximum number of members from five to six and mandating that all meetings be open to the public. Additionally, the resolution imposes specific limits on what these committees can do, such as prohibiting them from creating new government bodies or appropriating extra funds unless explicitly authorized by the bill's original text or by the leaders of both houses.
