HF 3475 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Per diem compensation modified for Minnesota Agricultural Education Leadership Council officers and Agricultural Utilization Research Institute board of directors.

HF 3475 modifies per diem compensation for non-legislative members of two Minnesota agricultural bodies: the Agricultural Education Leadership Council and the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute board. The bill sets a maximum daily rate of $125 for these members, subject to approval by their respective council or board, replacing previous unspecified compensation rules. This change applies to members who are not state legislators, while legislative members remain governed by existing provisions. The amendment to Minnesota Statutes 41D.01 and the addition to 116V.01 both take effect July 1, 2027. The bill directly affects council/board members who serve in non-official legislative roles.
