This bill establishes that certain commissions created by law in Minnesota are purely advisory in nature. Specifically, it states that any commission formed for a limited purpose and duration will not have decision-making authority, thereby clarifying their role within the state government. This change aims to streamline the functions of these commissions and ensure that their advisory status is clearly understood.

Additionally, the bill proposes new legal language to be codified in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 3, under the section labeled [3.99] COMMISSIONS ARE ADVISORY. The effective date for this provision is set for August 1, 2025, and it will apply to commissions established by law on or after that date. This timeline allows for a transition period for any existing commissions to adjust to the new advisory designation.
