A Senate resolution relating to standing committees; setting the schedule of standing committee meetings

Minnesota Senate Resolution 10 (SR10) is a resolution that establishes the schedule for standing committee meetings in the Minnesota Senate. Sponsored by Senator Erin Murphy, the resolution was introduced and adopted by voice vote on February 3, 2025. The resolution outlines the specific times and days when each standing committee will meet during the legislative session, ensuring an organized and efficient legislative process.

The adoption of SR10 has been viewed positively for its role in promoting legislative efficiency and transparency. By clearly defining committee meeting schedules, the resolution helps legislators, staff, and the public plan and participate effectively in the legislative process. This structured approach is seen as a step toward more organized governance.

While SR10 primarily focuses on procedural aspects, some critics argue that rigid committee schedules may limit flexibility in addressing urgent or unforeseen issues. There is concern that a fixed timetable could hinder the legislature's ability to respond promptly to emerging matters requiring immediate attention.
