House Rules Committee approves March 20 minutes, sets March 27 calendar and prefiling requirement
Summary
At a March 25 meeting, the Minnesota House Rules Committee approved March 20 minutes and adopted a calendar for March 27 listing four bills and establishing a prefiling requirement for amendments under rules 1.21 and 3.33. The committee also announced schedule adjustments for the coming week.
The Minnesota House Rules Committee on March 25 approved the minutes from its March 20 meeting and adopted the calendar for the March 27 floor session, listing House File 11 63, House File 12 55, House File 12 95 and Senate File 8 23 (substituting the House language), and establishing a prefiling requirement for amendments under rules 1.21 and 3.33.
The action to approve the minutes was moved by Representative Purcell, who said, "I have, mister chair, and I move their approval." The committee adopted the minutes by voice vote. The committee later moved to adopt the calendar for the day "pursuant to rule 1.21 and 3.33" and established the prefiling requirement for any amendments to the listed bills; that motion was approved by voice vote.
Committee members were told there will be no House floor session next Monday because of the Eid holiday, and the rules committee will not meet this Thursday. The committee noted Co-chair Nisga will preside when the committee reconvenes next Tuesday.
The meeting record does not include roll-call vote tallies for the two actions; both were approved by voice vote with no counts specified in the transcript.
The calendar item as read names four bill files by number but does not include bill titles, sponsors beyond the representative names read with each file, or further detail about the bills' contents. The transcript identifies the bills in this order: "House File 11 63, Representative Akeem; House File 12 55, Representative Novotny; House File 12 95, Representative Johnson P; and Senate File 8 23, substituting the House language, Representative Bakeberg."
