SF 1446 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain commissions established by law are advisory clarification

SF 1446 clarifies that commissions created by law for limited purposes and timeframes are purely advisory, meaning they cannot make binding decisions. This bill applies only to new commissions established on or after August 1, 2025, and does not affect existing commissions. The key provision removes any implied decision-making authority, ensuring these bodies can only provide recommendations. The change is procedural, focusing on defining the role of future commissions without altering current governance structures.
