Summary
On March 16, 2026, the Minnesota House approved voice votes to recall House File 3687 and House File 4015 from their current committees and re-refer them to committees the movers said were more appropriate for the bills' subjects.
The Minnesota House on March 16 recalled two House files and re-referred them to different policy committees after brief floor motions and voice votes.
Representative Gilman moved to recall House File 3687 from the Committee on Human Services Finance and Policy and re-refer it to Health Finance and Policy, saying she had discussed the change with committee chairs. The presiding officer called the voice vote and the motion "prevailed," with no recorded roll-call tally.
Soon afterward Representative Duran moved to recall House File 4015 from the Committee on Agriculture Finance and Policy and re-refer it to Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy. Duran argued the bill concerns wetlands and therefore belongs in the environment committee rather than agriculture. The presiding officer again put the motion to a voice vote and it passed.
Both actions were recorded as prevailing on voice votes; no formal roll-call tallies or recorded amendments were entered in the House journal during the floor session in this transcript. The motions were presented and decided as procedural committee-referral actions rather than final dispositions on the measures themselves.
Next steps for each file will follow the committee process in the House; the motions on the floor moved only the bills' committee assignments and did not on their own enact policy.
