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 president of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives every two years. This change aims to ensure a more balanced representation from both legislative chambers in the commission's leadership.
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 collaborative governance of the commission by formalizing the alternating leadership roles.
