This bill proposes new legislation in Minnesota that allows for the legislative removal of inferior executive branch officers, specifically those defined as heads, deputy heads, and assistant heads of agencies or departments, as well as directors of divisions within these entities. The bill introduces definitions for key terms such as "agency," "department," "inferior officer," "malfeasance," and "nonfeasance." It establishes a process whereby any member of the legislature can submit a complaint against an inferior officer for alleged malfeasance or nonfeasance, which must then be addressed by a legislative committee through public proceedings.

The legislative committee is required to conduct hearings and determine whether the allegations are substantiated by clear and convincing evidence. If the committee finds that the allegations are valid, it will report its findings and recommendations to the full legislature, which will then vote on whether to remove the officer. A majority vote in both houses is necessary for removal, which would be executed by the governor or their designee. The bill emphasizes transparency, as all proceedings and records related to the complaints are public, and it allows for the possibility of waiving public proceedings by the officer in question.
