This bill proposes the repeal of Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 15.066, subdivision 3, which currently establishes a time limit for the Senate and House of Representatives to confirm appointments. Under the existing law, if the Senate does not reject an appointment within 60 legislative days, it is automatically considered consented. Similarly, for appointments requiring confirmation from both chambers, if neither chamber rejects the appointment within the specified timeframe, it is also deemed consented.

By eliminating this provision, the bill removes the automatic confirmation process, meaning that appointments will no longer be automatically approved if the legislature does not act within the designated time. The effective date of this repeal will be the day following final enactment.
