Bills prohibited from being amended in a way that changes the original purpose of the bill, and constitutional amendment proposed.

HF 2830 proposes a constitutional amendment to Minnesota's Article IV, Section 17, requiring all laws to address a single subject clearly stated in their title. It prohibits legislative amendments that change a bill's original purpose and mandates courts to interpret these rules narrowly. The amendment would allow any Minnesota resident to sue if a law violates these requirements, with unconstitutional laws deemed void in their entirety. If approved by voters in 2026, this would strengthen Minnesota's single subject clause and add an "original purpose" requirement to legislative processes. The bill aims to prevent omnibus bills with unrelated provisions by ensuring all lawmaking stays focused on a single, clearly defined topic.
