Joint legislative studies governing provisions modifications

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes §3.305, subdivision 9, to clarify how the Legislative Coordinating Commission manages joint legislative studies. It specifies that the Commission must oversee all such studies required by the legislature and can mandate progress reports to relevant committees. Funding for most studies (excluding those assigned to existing offices/commissions) will flow to the Commission, which may then delegate responsibility to other entities like committees, agencies, or staff offices. The bill makes no substantive policy changes but streamlines administrative procedures for legislative research.
