Committee moves several bills: foreclosure, remediation and data items handled; assault‑weapons bill laid over

The committee handled a number of shorter items alongside the two longer policy debates.

House File 3479: Representative Freiberg moved and the committee adopted an A2 author’s amendment and voted to re‑refer the bill to the general register. Freiberg summarized the bill as clarifying homeowners’ rights to postpone mortgage foreclosure sales and redemption periods and noted stakeholder input from bar and real‑estate groups.

House File 3782: Representative Moller presented HF3782 with an A1 amendment tied to a technical clarification that arose in public safety; the committee adopted the amendment and re‑referred the bill to the general register.

House File 4081: Representative Greenman presented language classifying certification data generated under a firearm‑certification process as private under Minnesota’s data‑practices framework. Anna Lini (director of government relations for the governor’s caucus) said the privacy classification was appropriate but urged opposition to the bill overall; the committee laid HF4081 over, meaning it remains in committee and was not reported out today.

Committee adjourned a few minutes early.
