Vote threshold established for certain bills heard in a standing committee of the legislature.

HF 3037 requires a two-thirds vote by a standing committee's membership to delay (or "lay over") certain bills for possible inclusion in major finance or policy omnibus bills. This directly affects Minnesota legislative committees handling such bills, as chairpersons cannot bypass this vote threshold. If the two-thirds vote fails, the committee must choose an alternative action like sending the bill to another committee, the full legislature, or tabling it. The bill also prevents tabled bills from being added to future omnibus bills unless specific amendments are adopted by committee vote.
