This bill modifies the composition of the Minnesota legislature by changing the number of members in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Specifically, it reduces the number of Senate members from 67 to 45 and the number of House members from 134 to 135. These changes are reflected in the amendments to Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 2.021 and 2.031.
Additionally, the bill includes an effective date provision stating that these changes will take effect on January 3, 2033, and will apply to sessions of the legislature organized on or after that date. This ensures that the new structure of the legislature will be implemented in future legislative sessions following the specified date.
