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 confirmation period from 60 legislative days to 30 legislative days. If the Senate does not confirm an appointment within this timeframe, it is considered rejected. Similarly, for appointments requiring confirmation from both chambers, if neither the Senate nor the House confirms the appointment within 30 legislative days, it is also deemed rejected.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that this section does not apply to appointments 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 made by the state government.
