Per diem payments prohibition during a regular session of the legislature

SF 1316 prohibits Minnesota state legislators from receiving per diem payments during regular legislative sessions, which directly affects all elected members of the Minnesota Legislature. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 3.099, by adding a specific provision (subdivision 1(c)) stating members "are prohibited from receiving per diem payments during a regular session." It also clarifies that legislators may only receive certain specified compensation types, such as salary, insurance contributions, and retirement plan contributions, excluding per diem during regular sessions. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
