House recalls HF 2990 from workforce committee and reassigns it to Judiciary Finance and Civil Law
Summary
On April 1, 2025, the Minnesota House approved a motion to recall House File 2990 from the Committee on Workforce, Labor, and Economic Development, Finance and Policy and re-refer it to the Committee on Judiciary Finance and Civil Law after Representative Frasier said the bill addresses items that belong in judiciary review.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota House on April 1 approved a motion to recall House File 2990 from the Committee on Workforce, Labor, and Economic Development, Finance and Policy and re-refer it to the Committee on Judiciary Finance and Civil Law.
Representative Frasier, the member from Hennepin County, made the motion on the floor, saying the file is “a clone bill just to deal with specific items in the DLI policy bill that needs to go to judiciary and it went to the wrong committee.”
The motion was considered by voice vote. The speaker announced “Aye,” and the motion prevailed. The House took the action during the period of motions and resolutions; members did not record an individual roll-call tally in the transcript.
Frasier framed the reassignment as a procedural fix to place the language where members can “hear those pieces,” referring to provisions tied to the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) policy package. No second was recorded in the spoken record included in the transcript.
The reassignment moves consideration of HF 2990 to the Judiciary Finance and Civil Law Committee so that committee members can review the bill’s provisions alongside other judiciary-related measures. The transcript contains no further debate on the contents of HF 2990 and does not specify amendments or a schedule for committee hearings.
The floor action followed the House’s handling of other routine business that day, including adoption of several noncontroversial committee reports by unanimous consent and the first reading of a batch of introduced bills. The House adjourned later in the day after approving a separate motion to set the next meeting time.
