OATH OF OFFICE

 

      The oath of office was administered to the Chief Sergeant at Arms-elect by the Speaker.

 

 

Peppin 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 90th Regular Session, are the same as the Permanent Rules of the House for the last session, the 89th Regular Session, as they existed on Sunday, May 22, 2016, with the following exceptions:

 

Rule 3.33 shall be amended as follows:

 

"3.33 AMENDMENTS MUST BE PREFILED.  (a) An amendment on a bill being considered on the Calendar for the Day or the Fiscal Calendar is out of order unless the amendment has been filed with the Chief Clerk by 12:00 noon on the calendar day prior to the calendar day the bill next can be considered on the Calendar for the Day or the Fiscal Calendar.  If a bill next can be considered by the House on the Calendar for the Day or the Fiscal Calendar on a Monday, an amendment must be filed by 12:00 noon on the prior Friday.  An amendment is not out of order under this Rule if it is a technical or revisor's change to a bill or an amendment.  Whether an amendment is a technical or revisor's change is a question to be decided by the presiding officer, who may put the question to the House.

(b) Paragraph (a) applies to an amendment to a bill only if by 12:00 noon on the day before the deadline for filing amendments the following has occurred:

 

(1) the Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration has designated the bill for inclusion on the Calendar for the Day or a chair has announced intention to place the bill on the Fiscal Calendar; and

 

(2) the version of the bill that will be considered on the Calendar for the Day or the Fiscal Calendar is available to members.

 

(c) Substitution of language in the House version of a bill for language in the Senate companion bill is not an amendment for purposes of this Rule if notice of the chief author's intent to substitute the House language is given when a bill is placed on the Calendar for the Day or when a chair announces intention to place the bill on the Fiscal Calendar.

 

(d) When an amendment is filed with the Chief Clerk, the Chief Clerk must have the amendment posted on the House Web site as soon as is practical.  The Speaker may specify procedures for filing amendments under this Rule.

 

(e) An amendment to a prefiled amendment on a bill is out of order unless the amendment to the amendment has been filed with the Chief Clerk six hours after the prefiling deadline under paragraph (a).  An amendment to a prefiled amendment is not out of order under this Rule if it is a technical or conforming change to a prefiled amendment.  Whether an amendment is a technical or conforming change to a prefiled amendment is a question to be decided by the presiding officer, who may put the question to the House.

 

(f) An amendment to a bill or a prefiled amendment must include a stamp indicating the date and time that the amendment was drafted.

 

(g) This Rule may be waived or the deadlines in this Rule may be extended for an individual bill, or waived for all bills after a certain date, by the Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration.

 

(h) If the Calendar for the Day or the Fiscal Calendar is continued, the prefiling period must be reopened in accordance with paragraphs (a) to (e) of this rule, unless the prefiling period is waived or extended under paragraph (g) of this rule.

 

(i) This prefiling requirement applies when the Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration announces a date sufficiently in advance, for adoption of the permanent House and Joint Rules."

 

Rule 4.03 shall be amended as follows:

 

"4.03 WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE; BUDGET RESOLUTION; EFFECT ON EXPENDITURE AND REVENUE BILLS.  (a) The Committee on Ways and Means must hold hearings as necessary to determine state expenditures and revenues for the fiscal biennium.

 

(b) Within 25 days after the last state general fund revenue and expenditure forecast for the next fiscal biennium becomes available during the regular session in the odd-numbered year, the Committee on Ways and Means must adopt a budget resolution.  The budget resolution:  (1) must set the maximum limit on net expenditures for the next fiscal biennium for the general fund, (2) must set an amount or amounts to be set aside as a budget reserve and a cash flow account, (3) must set net spending limits for each budget category represented by the major finance and revenue bills identified in paragraph (e), and (4) may set limits for expenditures from funds other than the general fund.  The budget resolution must not specify, limit, or prescribe revenues or expenditures by any category other than those specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), and (4).  After the Committee adopts the budget resolution, the limits in the resolution are effective during the regular session in the year in which the resolution is adopted, unless a different or amended resolution is adopted.

(c) During the regular session in the even-numbered year, before the Committee on Ways and Means reports a bill containing net increases or decreases in expenditures as compared to general fund expenditures in the current fiscal biennium estimated by the most recent state budget forecast, the Committee may adopt a budget resolution.  If adopted, the resolution must account for the net changes in expenditures.  The resolution may also (1) set limits for changes in net expenditures for each budget category represented by the major finance and revenue bills identified in paragraph (e), and (2) set limits for expenditures from funds other than the general fund.

 

If the Committee adopts a budget resolution, it is effective during the regular session that year, unless a different or amended resolution is adopted.

 

(d) The major finance or revenue bills may be combined or separated by a majority vote of either the Committee on Ways and Means or the Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration.  Combined or separated bills must conform to the limits in the resolution as those limits apply to the accounts in those bills.

 

(e) Major finance and revenue bills are:

 

the agriculture finance bill;

 

the capital investment bill;

 

the education finance bill;

 

the environment and natural resources finance bill;

 

the health and human services finance bill;

 

the higher education and career readiness finance bill;

 

the job growth and energy affordability finance bill;

 

the legacy finance bill;

 

the public safety and crime prevention security finance bill;

 

the state government finance bill;

 

the tax bill; and

 

the transportation finance bill.

 

(f) After the adoption of a resolution by the Committee on Ways and Means, each finance committee, and the Committee on Taxes must reconcile each bill described in Rule 4.10 with the resolution.  When reporting a finance or revenue bill, each committee or division must provide to the Committee on Ways and Means a fiscal statement reconciling the bill with the resolution.

 

(g) After the adoption of a resolution by the Committee on Ways and Means, the Committee on Ways and Means must reconcile finance and revenue bills with the resolution.  When reporting a bill, the chair of the Committee must certify to the House that the Committee has reconciled the bill with the resolution.

 

(h) After the adoption of a resolution by the Committee on Ways and Means, an amendment to a bill is out of order if it would cause any of the limits specified in the resolution to be exceeded.  Whether an amendment is out of order under this Rule is a question to be decided on the Floor by the Speaker or other presiding officer and in Committee or Division by the person chairing the Committee or Division meeting.  In making the determination, the Speaker or other presiding officer or the Committee or Division chair may consider:  (1) the limits in a resolution; (2) the effect of existing laws on revenues and expenditures; (3) the effect of amendments previously adopted to the bill under consideration; (4) the effect of bills previously recommended by a Committee or Division or bills previously passed in the legislative session by the House or by the legislature; (5) whether expenditure increases or revenue decreases that would result from the amendment are offset by decreases in other expenditures or increases in other revenue specified by the amendment; and (6) other information reasonably related to expenditure and revenue amounts.

 

(i) After a resolution is adopted by the Committee on Ways and Means, the Committee must make available a summary of the estimated fiscal effect on the general fund of each bill that has been referred to the Committee on Ways and Means by a finance committee or a division of a finance committee, or the Committee on Taxes and of each bill that has been reported by the Committee on Ways and Means."

 

Rule 6.01 shall be amended as follows:
