The Minnesota Senate on Jan. 27, 2025, adopted committee reports, approved two resolutions recognizing Senate employees, and completed first readings and committee referrals for several bills listed on the introduction calendar.

Senator Murphy moved adoption of the committee reports and the motion prevailed after members voted "aye." The secretary reported a quorum present earlier in the session.

The secretary reported Senate Resolution No. 5, introduced by Senators Johnson, Murphy, Champion and Miller, "a Senate resolution recognizing Minnesota Senate employees for their years of dedicated service." Senator Murphy moved its adoption; the motion prevailed on voice vote. Later the secretary reported Senate Resolution No. 6, also introduced by the same group, and Senator Murphy moved adoption; that resolution likewise prevailed on voice vote.

On bills and referrals, the secretary read Senate File 3334 (second reading) and then the introduction calendar listed Senate File 645 (referred to State and Local Government), Senate File 684 (referred to Health and Human Services) and Senate File 700 (referred to Health and Human Services) as first readings with referrals as indicated. The body adopted the author's motion to treat the listed introduction items as one motion; the motion prevailed on voice vote.

Senator Marty moved that Senate File 567 be withdrawn from the Committee on State and Local Government and re‑referred to the Committee on Elections; the motion prevailed on voice vote.

Other routine actions recorded on the Jan. 27 floor included the secretary’s roll call confirming a quorum, multiple procedural motions to place items on the agenda, and a motion by Senator Murphy to adjourn the Senate until Thursday, Jan. 30, 2025, at 11 a.m.; that adjournment motion prevailed.
