The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 15.066, subdivision 3, to establish a new time limit for the confirmation of appointments by the Senate and the House of Representatives. Specifically, it reduces the time frame for confirmation from 60 legislative days to 30 legislative days. If the Senate does not confirm an appointment within this 30-day period, the appointment is considered rejected. Similarly, for appointments requiring confirmation from both chambers, if neither the Senate nor the House confirms the appointment within the same 30-day timeframe, the appointment is also deemed rejected.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that this new time limit does not apply to appointments made to the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board under section 10A.02. The changes aim to streamline the appointment process and ensure timely decisions on appointments by the legislature.
