OATH OF OFFICE

The oath of office was administered by the Speaker to those elected to the above offices.

Sertich offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:

Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Minnesota that the Temporary Rules of the House for this session, the 85th Regular Session, are the same as the Permanent Rules of the House for the last session, the 84th Regular Session, as they existed on May 21, 2006, with the following exceptions:

Rule 1.01 shall read:

1.01 CONVENING OF THE HOUSE. Unless otherwise ordered, the House convenes at ~~3:00~~ 12:00 p.m. The Speaker must take the chair at the appointed hour and call the House to order.

The call to order is followed by a prayer by the Chaplain or time for a brief meditation, then by the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and then by a call of the roll of members. The names of members present and members excused must be entered in the Journal of the House.

Rule 2.40 shall read:

2.40 ADMITTANCE TO FLOOR. No person other than a member may be admitted to the House Chamber, except: properly authorized employees; the Chief Executive and ex-governors of the State of Minnesota; members of the Senate; heads of departments of the state government; judges of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and District Courts; members of Congress; those persons invited to address the body or a joint convention of the house and senate, and guests for such an address or joint convention; and properly accredited representatives of radio and television stations, newspapers and press associations, as provided for in these Rules.

Any other person may be issued a permit by the Speaker good for the day, but that person must be seated near the Speaker's rostrum, and must not engage in conversation that disturbs the business of the House. Before issuing a permit, the Speaker must make certain that the person does not seek the floor of the House to influence decisions of the House.

The alcoves in the Chambers are for the use of members only, and the Sergeant at Arms must keep them clear of others.

From one hour before the time the House is scheduled to convene until one hour after the House adjourns for the day, the retiring room is reserved for the exclusive use of the members and employees of the House. As long as the Senate prohibits entry of House members into its retiring room, no Senators may enter the House retiring room during the time it is reserved for exclusive use of members and employees. A committee meeting must not be held there except emergency meetings authorized by the Speaker. The Sergeant at Arms must strictly enforce this provision.

Unless an extraordinary condition exists the Speaker must not entertain a request to suspend this Rule or present the request of a member for unanimous consent to suspend this Rule.

Journal of the House - 1st Day - Wednesday, January 3, 2007 - Top of Page 10

Rule 4.10 shall read:

4.10 FINANCE BILLS. Except as provided in Rule 1.15, a House or Senate bill that directly and specifically affects any present or future financial obligation on the part of the State must be referred to the Finance Committee or the appropriate division of the Finance Committee before the bill receives its second reading.

A finance bill reported by a the Finance Committee or a division of the Finance Committee must be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Referral is not required by this Rule if the bill has a negligible fiscal effect, as determined by the chair of the Finance Committee with the concurrence of the chair of the Committee on Ways and Means.

Rule 4.12 shall read:

4.12 BILLS AFFECTING DEBT AND CAPITAL PROJECTS. The Finance Committee Division on Capital Investment has jurisdiction over legislation affecting debt obligations issued by the state and capital projects of the state, including the planning, acquiring and bettering of public lands and buildings and other state projects of a capital nature. Except as provided in Rule 1.15, a House or Senate bill that directly and specifically affects debt obligations or capital projects of the state must be referred to the Finance Committee Division on Capital Investment before the bill receives its second reading.

Referral is not required by this Rule if the bill deals primarily with the financing of state capital facilities using trunk highway funds, with transportation projects financed without debt obligations of the state, or with the local financing of capital facilities of local governments. Referral is not required by this Rule if the bill has a negligible effect on debt obligations and capital projects of the state as determined by the chair of the Committee on Finance, in consultation with the chair of the Division on Capital Investment, with the concurrence of the chair of the Committee on Ways and Means. Referral is not required by this Rule if the bill is a major finance or revenue bill identified in Rule 4.03, unless the bill directly and specifically affects debt obligations of the state, but if a major finance or revenue bill contains a provision that directly and specifically affects capital projects of the state, the chair of the finance or tax committee reporting the bill must notify the chair of the Committee on Finance and the chair of the Division on Capital Investment of the provision before the bill is considered by the House.

The Speaker, by announcement, must assign to each finance committee the appropriate jurisdiction for recommendations on debt obligations and capital projects of the state. Divisions of the Finance Committee must submit recommendations within its jurisdiction to the ~~committee~~ Division on Capital Investment for further disposition. The ~~Committee~~ Division on Capital Investment must enter in the committee record the recommendations of each division of the Finance Committee that submits recommendations. If a recommendation of a division of the Finance Committee with jurisdiction expressly disapproves appropriations or the issuance of debt obligations for a specific capital project, the Division on Capital Investment ~~Committee~~ may not report a bill authorizing appropriations or the issuance of debt for that project.

A bill with a fiscal effect reported by the ~~Committee~~ Division on Capital Investment must be accompanied by a statement of its fiscal effect, is exempt from the referral required by Rule 4.10, and must be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. This referral is not required if the bill has a negligible fiscal effect, as determined by the chair of the ~~Committee~~ Division on Capital Investment with the concurrence of the chair of the Committee on Ways and Means.

Journal of the House - 1st Day - Wednesday, January 3, 2007 - Top of Page 11

Rule 4.13 shall read:

4.13 BILLS AFFECTING STATE GOVERNMENT POWERS AND STRUCTURE. The Committee on Governmental Operations ~~and Veterans Affairs~~, Reform, Technology and Elections has jurisdiction over a House or Senate bill that:

(a) establishes or reestablishes a department, agency, commission, board, task force, advisory committee or council, or bureau, or other like entity;

(b) delegates rulemaking authority to, or exempts from rulemaking, a department or agency of state government; or

(c) substantially changes the organization of a department or agency of state government or substantially changes, vests or divests the official rights, powers, or duties of an official, department or agency of state government or an institution under its control.

Except as otherwise provided in this Rule and Rule 1.15, a bill that is within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Governmental Operations ~~and Veterans Affairs~~, Reform, Technology and Elections must be referred to that Committee before it receives its second reading. A committee (other than the Committee on Governmental Operations ~~and Veterans Affairs~~, Reform, Technology and Elections) reporting such a bill must recommend its re-referral to the Committee on Governmental Operations ~~and Veterans Affairs~~, Reform, Technology and Elections if reporting before the deadline for action on the bill by that Committee; if reporting after the deadline, the committee must recommend re-referral to the Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration.

The re-referral requirements of this Rule do not apply to the major finance and revenue bills identified in Rule 4.03. If a major finance or revenue bill contains a provision specified in ~~clauses~~ clause (a) or (b) of the definition in this Rule, the chair of the finance or tax committee reporting the bill must notify the chair of the Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration before the bill is considered by the House.

The re-referral requirements of this Rule do not apply to other bills reported by a finance committee or the tax committee, except bills that contain a provision specified in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition in this Rule.

Rule 4.31 shall read:

4.31 TIME LIMIT TO CONSIDER BILLS. If 20 legislative days after a bill has been referred to a committee or division (other than the Committee on Ways and Means, the Committee on Taxes, a the Finance Committee, or a division of one of those committees) a report has not been made on it by the committee or division, its chief author may request that it be returned to the House. The request must be entered in the Journal.

The committee or division must vote on the bill requested within ten calendar days after the day of the request.

If the committee or division fails to vote on it within ten days, the chief author may present a written demand to the Speaker for its immediate return to the House. The demand must be presented within five calendar days after the day that the committee or division is required to vote. If the demand is presented in the time allowed, it must be entered in the Journal and is the demand of the House. The bill is then considered to be in the possession of the House and must be given its second reading and placed on the General Register.

The bill may be re-referred by a majority vote of the whole House. If the motion to re-refer is made on the day of the demand or on the next House legislative day, the motion takes precedence over all other motions except privileged motions and is in order at any time.

Journal of the House - 1st Day - Wednesday, January 3, 2007 - Top of Page 14

A committee of the House must not have exclusive membership from one profession, occupation or vocation.

A member must not serve as the chair of the same standing committee, or a standing committee with substantially the same jurisdiction, during more than the three immediately prior consecutive regular biennial sessions ~~that the member's caucus is in the majority, even if the sessions are not otherwise consecutive~~. This Rule does not apply to service as chair of the Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration.

Rule 6.05 shall read:

6.05 DIVISIONS. (a) If the Speaker or the House refers a bill to a division, the bill remains in that division until the House moves the bill from the division or approves a report from the division that moved the bill from that division. A division report under this paragraph is subject to Rule 6.30.

(b) The chair of a committee may refer a bill within the possession of the committee to a division of that committee. When the chair refers a bill to a division under this paragraph, the chair may recall the bill from the division. A committee chair referring or recalling a bill under this paragraph must give written notice of the referral or recall as soon as possible to the Chief Clerk for publication. To the extent practical, the Chief Clerk must attempt to provide notice on the House Web site of referrals and recalls of bills under this paragraph.

The Temporary Rules of the House for the 85th Regular Session apply until the Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration, to be appointed by the Speaker, has made its report and the House has adopted new Permanent Rules.
