The Minnesota House on March 3, 2025, approved a motion to recall House File 1771 from the Committee on Education Policy and re-refer it to the Committee on Education Finance.
Representative Fagan moved the re-referral; the motion "prevails," according to the clerk's announcement on the record. Representative Perez Vega spoke in support of the change, saying the measure is "a bill that is a grant relating for learning music," and that Representative West "has signed on to be co author." Perez Vega added, "As a musician, as a youth worker that strives to early education, to be able to provide literacy for our youngest Minnesotans, I ask that ... the committee of education finance, referred this HF 1771."
The re-referral transfers consideration of HF 1771 to the committee that handles education funding. No roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript; the clerk reported the motion "prevails" after the voice vote. The bill will now be considered by the Committee on Education Finance.
