STATE OF MINNESOTA

SPECIAL SESSION -- 2003

_____________________

FIRST DAY

Saint Paul, Minnesota, Tuesday, May 20, 2003

In obedience to the Proclamation of the Honorable Tim Pawlenty, Governor of the State of Minnesota, summoning the two houses of the Legislature to meet in Special Session, the members of the House of Representatives assembled in the Chamber of the House of Representatives at the Capitol in Saint Paul on Tuesday, the twentieth day of May 2003 at 11:00 a.m.

PROCLAMATION FOR SPECIAL SESSION 2003

Whereas, The Eighty-Third Legislature adjourned without enacting legislation essential to the health, well-being and safety of the citizens of Minnesota; and

Whereas, The unfinished matters of the Legislature include essential laws regarding the operation of state government, the operation of local governments, education, public safety, transportation, tax reform, energy management, health, human services, economic development and natural resources; and

Whereas, The time permitted by law for passage of such legislation during the 2003 session for the Legislature has expired, and an extraordinary occasion as envisioned by Article IV, Section 12 of the Minnesota Constitution is thereby created; and

Whereas, The people of Minnesota are best served by avoidance of a government shutdown and a prompt conclusion of legislative business, with a limited agenda and, to the extent possible prior agreement on laws to be enacted.

Now Therefore, I, Tim Pawlenty, Governor of Minnesota, do hereby summon you members of the Legislature, to convene in Special Session on Tuesday, May 20, 2003, at 11:00 a.m. at the State Capitol in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Minnesota to be affixed at the State Capitol this 20th day of May in the year of our Lord two thousand and three, and of the State the one hundred forty-fifth.

Mary Kiffmeyer Tim Pawlenty
