Bill > HF4687

This bill eliminates the automatic confirmation of certain government appointments if the legislature fails to act on them within a specified timeframe. Previously, if the Minnesota Senate, or both the Senate and the House of Representatives, did not reject an appointment within 60 legislative days of receiving the appointment letter, it was considered automatically confirmed. This bill repeals the specific law that established this automatic confirmation process, meaning that appointments requiring legislative confirmation will now only be confirmed if they are explicitly approved or not rejected within the legislative session, rather than being confirmed by default due to inaction. This change applies to most appointments, with an exception for those made to the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board.
