Bill > HF1198

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to increase the number of leadership positions that can receive up to 140 percent of standard member compensation in both the Minnesota Senate and House of Representatives. Specifically, the bill changes the current limit from five to six leadership positions for each legislative body. The bill clarifies that leadership positions are determined by the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration for the Senate and the House Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration for the House. It also reaffirms that the majority leader is elected by the largest caucus in each chamber, and the minority leader is elected by the second-largest caucus. An important detail is the effective date, which makes this change retroactive to January 14, 2025, meaning the additional leadership position can be designated from that date forward. This modification provides more flexibility for legislative leadership in both chambers by allowing one additional high-compensation leadership role.
