This 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. These leadership positions are eligible to receive compensation of up to 140 percent of what other members earn. The bill also outlines the process for designating the majority and minority leaders at the beginning of each biennial legislative session, specifying that the majority leader is elected by the largest political caucus and the minority leader by the second largest.

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.
