House approves conference committee on Senate File 4760 after Novotny motion
Summary
On May 4, 2026, the Minnesota House voted by voice to appoint a four-member conference committee to resolve differences with the Senate over Senate File 4760 after the Senate refused to concur in House amendments.
Representative Novotny moved on the House floor May 4 that the House accede to the Senate’s request and that the Speaker appoint a four-member House conference committee to meet with the Senate committee on the disagreeing votes on Senate File 4760. The motion was adopted on a voice vote.
The clerk read a message from the Senate stating it would not concur in the House amendments to Senate File 4760 and naming senators Lats, Umu Verbatin and Limmer to its conference committee. The Speaker announced House appointees as Novotny, Witty and Mueller; a fourth House appointee was not completed in the record and is not specified in the journal excerpt.
The House conducted the action by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript. The chamber also approved routine, noncontroversial motions by unanimous consent earlier in the session, and the daily journal was approved as corrected by the chief clerk.
By rule, a conference committee is convened to reconcile differences between House and Senate versions of a bill; the committee is expected to meet with the Senate’s named members to negotiate compromises on the provisions in dispute. The transcript does not record the committee’s meeting date or additional procedural steps.
The House adjourned for the day and is scheduled to reconvene at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 6, 2026.
