The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 3.303, subdivision 3, to establish a new structure for the leadership of the Legislative Coordinating Commission. It specifies that the vice-chair position will alternate between the Senate and 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. This amendment replaces the previous language that only mentioned the chair's role, thereby enhancing the leadership framework within the commission by explicitly defining the vice-chair's responsibilities and the alternating nature of the position.
