This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 3.303, subdivision 3, to establish a new structure for the leadership of the Legislative Coordinating Commission. The bill specifies that the vice-chair of the commission will alternate between the Senate and the House of Representatives every two years. This change aims to promote equal representation and collaboration between the two legislative bodies.
In the amended language, the role of the vice-chair is clarified, stating that when not serving as chair, either the president of the Senate or the speaker of the House will serve as vice-chair. Additionally, the bill removes the phrase "of representatives" from the description of the chair's role, streamlining the language to focus on the leadership positions of the Senate and House.
