Appointments not confirmed within 30 days refusal
This bill establishes a 30-day deadline for the Minnesota Senate and House of Representatives to confirm certain state appointments. If the Senate does not confirm an appointment within 30 legislative days of receiving it, or if both chambers fail to confirm within 30 days when both are required, the appointment is automatically rejected. The rule applies to most confirmed appointments but excludes positions on the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board. This change shortens the previous 60-day confirmation period to accelerate the appointment process.
