The bill, introduced by Chair Anderson and drafted with language from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, would allow the MDA to accept payment for a food certificate at the time of application.
The Committee on Agriculture Finance and Policy on Wednesday, March 12, 2025 referred House File 2052 to the General Register after Chair Anderson told members the bill contains language provided by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture that "allows the MDA to accept payment for a food certificate at the time of application."
The motion to refer was moved and renewed by Chair Anderson and approved by voice vote with no public testimony, according to the committee record. Chair Harter presided over the meeting and Representative Lawrence moved the minutes earlier in the session.
Committee members asked no follow-up questions during the short presentation, and the bill was sent forward without amendment. The committee record shows no registered in-person testimony for or against the measure at this meeting.
