Senate notifies House it appointed conference committees on two human services bills
Summary
The Minnesota Senate sent messages to the House on May 8 saying it had acceded to requests for conference committees on House File 2115 and House File 2434, both described as acts relating to human services. The Senate messages named senators appointed to each conference committee; the House recorded the messages.
The Minnesota House of Representatives on May 8 received two messages from the Senate announcing the appointment of conference committees to consider amendments the Senate had adopted to two House files described as "an act relating to human services." The messages listed the senators the Senate appointed to each conference committee.
In the first message, the secretary of the Senate said the Senate had appointed senators "Hoffman, Fatai, May Quaid, Rasmussen, and Abler" as the five members of the conference committee on House File 2115. In the second message, the secretary announced appointments for House File 2434, listing senators "Hoffman, Fati, May Quaid, Mohammed, and Abler." Both messages were signed and entered into the House record.
The transcript records those messages but does not show any immediate House action beyond acknowledging and adopting committee reports and entering the messages into the journal. The transcript does not include any floor debate about the substance of either House file, nor does it note any dates for conference committee meetings.
Conference committees are the normal legislative mechanism for reconciling differences between House and Senate versions of bills; the messages indicate the Senate has selected its members for those negotiations. The House transcript does not record whether the House has appointed its matching conferees for those files during the portion of the session provided.
