Committee adopts amendment to HF3217 on payments to bioindustrial facilities, then lays bill over
Summary
The House Workforce, Labor, and Economic Development Finance and Policy Committee adopted amendment H3217A1 to HF3217 and, after testimony from industry representatives, laid the bill over for later consideration on April 9, 2026.
The House Workforce, Labor, and Economic Development Finance and Policy Committee adopted an amendment to HF3217 (Kresha), a bill that would provide payments to bioindustrial facilities, and then laid the amended bill over for future consideration during its April 9, 2026, meeting in Room G3 of the State Capitol.
Committee Chair Representative Dave Baker moved HF3217 before the committee and moved to adopt the H3217A1 amendment; the committee adopted the amendment (the minutes record the outcome as "THE MOTION PREVAILED"). Testimony accompanying the bill included Brendan Jordan, vice president for transportation and fuels at the Great Plains Institute, and Brian Werner, executive director of the Minnesota Biofuels Association. The minutes list those testifiers but do not summarize their remarks.
After the amendment was adopted, Chair Baker laid HF3217 over, as amended; the minutes do not record a roll-call vote tally or a date for the bill’s next consideration. The committee’s action means discussion on HF3217 will continue at a later date or in another forum before a final committee recommendation is rendered.
The committee also handled other business that day, including approval of minutes and a separate re-referral of HF2252 to the Capital Investment Committee. The meeting was adjourned at 9:58 a.m.
