House rules panel sets pre-filing requirement, places several bills on April 30 calendar
Summary
The House’s Rules and Legislative Administration Committee designated multiple bills for placement on the April 30, 2026 calendar and established a pre-filing requirement for amendments to those bills, the committee reported to the full House on April 27 in Saint Paul.
Long, from the Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration, told the Minnesota House on April 27 that the committee designated a set of bills to be placed on the calendar for Thursday, April 30, 2026, and established a pre-filing requirement for any amendments offered to those measures.
The clerk read the items the committee designated for the April 30 calendar and the pre-filing requirement for amendments. The committee listed the following house files as read: 34 26, 41 51, 40 63, and 37 0 9; and the following senate files as read: 41 71, 47 60, 29 71, 38 88, and 17 50. Long said the designations were made pursuant to House rules 1.21 and 3.33.
Why this matters: setting a pre-filing requirement for amendments narrows how and when members can offer changes to those bills on the floor, which can speed consideration by limiting last-minute amendment activity. The committee report was read in the House and entered into the record; there was no recorded objection when the report was presented.
The rules committee report was announced as a formal item of business; members may still seek to offer amendments consistent with the pre-filing requirement before the bills reach floor debate. The House proceeded to other routine business after the announcement.
