Representative Heintzeman, the bill’s sponsor, opened floor debate by describing a 2015 crash that left a woman named Macy in a vegetative state and said the alleged offender had been repeatedly caught driving without a license. \"Why aren't we imposing harsher consequences on those that would blatantly and repeatedly disregard Minnesota's law and put others at risk?\" Heintzeman asked on the floor.

A technical amendment (A3) offered at the desk — which sponsors said clarifies the bill’s definition of \"great bodily harm\" to avoid an unintended coverage gap — was presented by Heintzeman and supported by Chair Moller, who described it as closing a loophole. The amendment was adopted.

After debate and adoption of the amendment, the clerk announced the roll call result: \"There being 120 ayes, 14 nays. The bill is passed as amended and its title is agreed to.\" The transcript shows Heintzeman requested recognition of family members in the gallery and closed by urging members’ support.

Why it matters: sponsors said the bill would close a perceived statutory gap that resulted in relatively light treatment of repeat unlicensed drivers even when outcomes have been catastrophic.

Representative Baker, the bill’s author, told colleagues the measure — titled the Bridal Ani and Joseph Anderson Safety Act — responds to two recent deaths and “addresses these gaps with three very straightforward safety measures.” He described the bill as requiring scuba certification, a buoyancy control device and trained supervision, including supervisors trained in CPR. \"There is no requirement for scuba certification...There’s no requirement for safety equipment,\" Baker said on the floor.

Supporters said the bill fills a regulatory gap for a largely unregulated line of work often performed by young seasonal employees. Representative Fisher urged colleagues to \"vote green,\" saying the bill adds “common-sense solutions” and that families and agencies had helped shape the language. Representative Pinto and Representative McDonald also spoke in favor and recounted accounts of inexperienced workers sent into murky water with minimal training.

Baker presented an author’s amendment (A25-0054) that he said aligns language with the companion Senate bill and sets an effective date; he said the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Labor had helped draft implementation steps and that the effective date in the amendment is Oct. 1. Representative Pinto characterized the amendment as making the bill workable; the amendment was adopted.

Baker said families of the two workers — identified in the bill title as Bridal Ani and Joseph Anderson — were present in the gallery and had testified to the committees. On the floor he described the facts the families presented to lawmakers, including short training on site and lack of on-site CPR certification among supervisors. He said the bill was shaped with input from businesses in the industry, the families, and state agencies and that there is a modest fiscal cost that affected businesses have agreed to absorb.

The clerk took the roll for final action after floor debate; the roll call and final tally were not specified in the excerpt of the session transcript provided.

Why it matters: supporters said the bill targets preventable workplace deaths by creating uniform training, equipment and supervision standards where none currently exist for this subset of commercial diving.
