Minnesota House introduces five bills; Senate names conference committees for two House files
Summary
At its May 13, 2025, session in St. Paul, the Minnesota House gave first readings to five House files, approved the previous day’s journal, and received Senate messages appointing conference committees for House Files 2130 (public safety) and 2563 (legacy). The House recessed to the call of the speaker.
The Minnesota House of Representatives convened in St. Paul on May 13, 2025, gave first readings to House Files 3322 through 3326, approved the journal of the preceding day and received messages from the Senate naming conference committees for House File 2130, an act relating to public safety, and House File 2563, an act relating to legacy. Representative Nisga moved a recess to the call of the speaker, and the motion prevailed.
The proceedings opened with a prayer from Pastor Matt Baker of Bethel Evangelical Free Church in Fairmont, Minnesota, followed by the pledge of allegiance and a roll call by the chief clerk. The chief clerk reported a quorum present and read the journal of the House for the preceding day; the clerk reported the journal “approved as corrected by the chief clerk.”
The chief clerk then announced the introduction and first reading of House Files 3322 through 3326. No details about the content of those bills were provided on the floor record reviewed.
The House received two formal messages from the Senate. In one message, Thomas S. Bodern, identified in the transcript as secretary of the Senate, announced that the Senate “accedes to the request of the House for the appointment of a conference committee consisting of three members of the Senate” on amendments to House File 2130 and named senators Lats, Gustafson and Limmer to that committee. In a second message, Bodern announced the Senate’s appointment of five senators—Herr, McEwen, Pah, Mohammed and Pratt—to a conference committee on Senate amendments to House File 2563.
Representative Nisga moved a recess to the call of the speaker; the chamber voted by voice and the motion was agreed to. The House then stood in recess.
No committee reports, floor debate on the content of the introduced bills, or recorded roll-call votes on measures appeared in the reviewed transcript excerpt.
