SF 656 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Amendment proposal to the Minnesota Constitution by making technical changes to certain terms in Article I to be consistent with language in Minnesota Statutes

This bill proposes a technical amendment to the Minnesota Constitution to update specific language in Article I for consistency with current Minnesota Statutes. It corrects minor grammatical inconsistencies and outdated phrasing (e.g., changing "his the member's peers" to "his peers" in Section 2) without altering any substantive rights or legal protections. The amendment directly affects the wording of the state constitution itself, aligning it with modern statutory drafting standards. It has no direct impact on citizens, policies, or voting rights, as it only addresses technical language. This is a procedural update, not a policy change.
