The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 3.98, to allow ranking minority members of standing legislative committees to request fiscal notes. Specifically, it modifies subdivision 1 to include the ranking minority member alongside the chair as a party who can request a fiscal note from the head or chief administrative officer of each state department or agency. This change aims to enhance the involvement of minority members in the fiscal analysis process.

Additionally, subdivision 3 is amended to ensure that a copy of the fiscal note is delivered not only to the chair of the relevant committee but also to the ranking minority member. This amendment emphasizes the importance of transparency and accessibility of fiscal information for all committee members, thereby promoting a more inclusive legislative process.
