Minnesota House approves journal, advances bill readings and recesses

The Minnesota House of Representatives convened in Saint Paul on May 6, 2025. After a prayer by the chaplain, the chamber approved the journal of the preceding day as corrected by the chief clerk, took up second readings of House File 2730 and Senate File 1832, received first readings for House Files 3304–3308, and recessed on a motion by Representative Nyska.

The journal of the previous day was approved “as corrected by the chief clerk” without objection, the clerk announced. The approval was disposed of by unanimous consent; no roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript. The clerk then read that House File 2730 and Senate File 1832 were at second reading, and that House Files 3304 through 3308 were given their first reading and introduced.

Representative Heintzeman (Crow Wing) made a brief announcement reminding members of a scheduled Ducks Unlimited banquet that evening; Representative Long (Hennepin) advised members of a rules committee meeting to follow recess. Representative Nyska moved a recess to the call of the speaker; the motion was agreed to by voice vote and the House stood in recess.

Reverend Kenneth L. Beal Jr. of the Fort Snelling Memorial Chapel delivered the opening prayer prior to the clerk’s role call and business. The formal items recorded in the transcript for this portion of the session were procedural (journal approval, readings and introductions, and a recess motion) and did not include debate on contents of the listed bills.

The session paused after the recess vote; no further legislative action or recorded votes on the listed bills appear in the provided transcript segment.
