This Senate concurrent resolution establishes specific deadlines for the 2026 regular session of the Minnesota legislature. It outlines that the first two deadlines, set for March 27, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., pertain to committees acting favorably on all bills except for major appropriation and finance bills. The third deadline, on April 17, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., is designated for finance committees to act favorably on major appropriation and finance bills. Notably, these deadlines do not apply to certain House and Senate committees, including those focused on Capital Investment, Ways and Means, Taxes, and Rules and Legislative Administration.

Additionally, the resolution stipulates that if a committee acts favorably on a bill after the established deadlines, the bill must be referred to the respective Rules and Administration committees in the Senate or House for further action. These committees have the authority to waive the application of the resolution for subsequent actions on the bill by other committees. The resolution aims to streamline the legislative process and ensure timely consideration of bills during the session.
