Ways and Means committee recommends House File 2442 to General Register

The Minnesota House Ways and Means Committee voted to recommend House File 2442 to the General Register during a short committee meeting. A committee member presiding made the motion and the committee approved it by voice vote.

The recommendation came with no presentation on the bill; the committee recorded that House File 2442 had been previously heard. A committee member presiding said, “We did previously hear House file 24 42, so we will not have a presentation, on the bill today. We'll just have the motion.” The motion was approved after members responded “Aye.”

Committee business began with a late agenda change noted by the presiding member: “We will not be taking up senate file 18 32, the workforce finance, bill. Apologies, to folks for that late change.” Representative Baker asked whether the removed workforce/labor bill would return to the committee soon. Representative Baker said, “Can we, co chairs and the labor expect us to be maybe back up scheduled on Monday until further notice or can we start understanding when we might see in front of Waze?” The presiding member said he had no timetable and then turned the question to Chair Chokolsohn. Chair Chokolsohn responded that he had nothing to add at that time.

The committee also approved minutes from the April 30 meeting after Representative Robbins moved approval. The minutes motion passed by voice vote.

There were no recorded roll-call tallies or further presentation materials in the transcript. The committee did not take additional substantive actions during the recorded portion of the meeting.
