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.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that when the president of the Senate or the speaker of the House is not serving as chair, they will take on the role of vice-chair. The language also removes the phrase "of representatives" from the description of the chair's position, streamlining the title to simply refer to the "speaker of the house." Overall, these amendments are intended to enhance the operational dynamics of the commission by ensuring a more balanced leadership structure.
