Members of legislative committees on education policy and education finance observation of teacher or administrator each year requirement provision

This bill requires members of Minnesota's education policy and finance committees to observe teachers or administrators in K-12 schools for at least 12 hours over two years. It mandates that legislators report specific details (dates, educator names, school locations, and grade levels observed) to legislative leadership and the Legislative Reference Library, which must publish these reports online. The requirement applies only to committee members focused on K-12 education policy or funding. The rule takes effect July 1, 2025, and does not change education funding or curriculum.
