Votes and committee actions: House sends Senate file 1360 to Senate; Senate adopts committee reports
Summary
The Minnesota House returned Senate File 1360 to the Senate after passage; the Senate adopted committee reports and referred several bills to committees during its April 7 session.
The Minnesota Senate on April 7 received notice that the House of Representatives passed Senate File 1360, a bill to raise the speed limit for implements of husbandry to 35 miles per hour, and returned the bill to the Senate. The secretary read the House message on the floor.
Separately, the Senate adopted committee reports printed in the agenda addendum after a motion from Senator Murphy. "I move the committee reports printed in the agenda, addendum, and read by the secretary be adopted," Murphy said; the motion prevailed on voice vote.
The floor also recorded committee referrals and second readings for a number of bills. Senator Murphy reported Rule Committee recommendations that several Senate files be re-referred to subject committees including housing and homelessness prevention, environment, climate and legacy, health and human services, and finance.
