Rules Committee adopts concurrent resolution setting Feb. 17, 2026 reconvening date
Summary
The Minnesota House Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration approved minutes from May 15, 2025 and adopted Concurrent Resolution 2 permitting the legislature to adjourn for more than three days and setting Feb. 17, 2026 as the date to reconvene; the measures passed by voice vote following minimal discussion.
The Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration adopted Concurrent Resolution 2, which permits the legislature to adjourn for more than three days and sets Feb. 17, 2026, as the date to reconvene. The committee approved the resolution by voice vote after brief remarks and no recorded roll-call totals.
The action followed a separate procedural motion to approve the committee minutes. Representative Steer moved to approve the minutes from May 15, 2025; that motion was approved by voice vote.
Committee discussion on the resolution was minimal. Representative Long urged support, saying, “I urge members support.” There was no further debate recorded and the committee chair put the question; members responded “aye,” and the chair declared the resolution adopted. The chair then recessed the meeting "until the call of the chair" in case the committee needed to reconvene.
The resolution’s adoption authorizes a formal adjournment period exceeding three days and fixes the specified reconvening date. The transcript notes that the Feb. 17, 2026 date had been discussed among caucus leaders of both chambers, but the committee record does not include additional details about those discussions or any vote counts beyond the voice vote.
The committee took no other substantive actions during the brief session recorded in the transcript.
