The Minnesota Senate on May 17, 2026 took up messages from the House transmitting several bills for the Senate’s information and referral. Secretary (reading) announced the messages on the floor, saying, “I have the honor to announce the passage by the house of the following senate files herewith returned.”
The secretary read the first two Senate files transmitted from the House: “Senate file number 38 91, a bill for an act relating to agriculture, allowing eggs to be donated past their quality assurance date,” and “Senate file number 43 39, a bill for an act relating to utilities, modifying certain requirements governing the excavation notice system, including to require electronic positive response.” The reading included the clerk’s signature line, recorded in the message as “Signed, Patrick Duffy Murphy, chief clerk, house of representatives.”
The secretary also reported the House adopted the conference committee recommendation and repassed Senate file number 42 82 (relating to forecast adjustments) and repassed Senate file number 34 32 (a public safety bill requiring removal of identifying equipment and insignia from emergency vehicles sold to the public). For each of these messages the presiding officer noted no immediate Senate action was required.
House files were also transmitted: House file number 2354 and House file number 4384 were noted on the message calendar. The secretary read House file 2354 by title as “a bill for an act relating to consumer protection adding and modifying provisions governing medical assistance fraud,” and the presiding officer announced that the house files had been given their first reading and that house file 2354 was referred to the Finance Committee as indicated on the calendar.
These readings were routine transmissions from the House; the Senate’s presiding officer repeatedly directed that no immediate action was required on the returned bills. Further committee referrals and any subsequent Senate action will be reflected in future proceedings.
