Number of members of the house of representatives and the senate modifications
This bill would reduce the number of members in Minnesota's state legislature, decreasing the Senate from 67 to 45 members and the House of Representatives from 134 to 135 members. The changes would take effect on January 3, 2033, and apply to legislative sessions organized on or after that date. The bill also updates the apportionment rules to reflect the new district counts, with each district continuing to elect one representative or senator. Minnesota Statutes sections 2.021 and 2.031 would be amended to codify these membership changes.
