The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 3.099, subdivision 3, to increase the number of designated leadership positions in both the Senate and the House of Representatives from five to six. This change allows each body to designate up to six leadership positions that will receive compensation of up to 140 percent of the standard member compensation. The bill also outlines the process for designating the majority and minority leaders at the beginning of each biennial legislative session.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the changes will take effect retroactively from January 14, 2025. This retroactive effective date ensures that the new leadership structure and compensation adjustments will be recognized from the specified date, aligning with the legislative session's timeline.
