The Minnesota House of Representatives convened in Saint Paul on May 16, 2025. The clerk reported a quorum present, the House approved the journal of the preceding day as corrected by the chief clerk, the chief clerk announced first reading of House Files 3331 through 3336, and the House recessed to the call of the Speaker after Representative Niska moved the recess and the motion carried.
The clerk opened the session with roll call and closed the roll, then read the journal entry for Friday, May 16, 2025. The journal was approved "as corrected by the chief clerk," the clerk reported. The chief clerk then announced introductions: "first reading, House Files 3331 through 3336." The clerk did not specify the subject matter of those files during the floor announcement.
During announcements, Representative Long (Hennepin County) said House Democrats would caucus in their caucus room upon recess. Representative Niska said House Republicans would caucus in their caucus room upon recess and moved a recess to the call of the Speaker. The presiding officer put the question: "All those in favor, aye." Following the response, the presiding officer said, "Those opposed, nay," and the chair declared, "The motion stands in recess." The transcript records the motion carrying on that voice vote; no individual recorded roll-call votes were given on the motion in the floor transcript.
First reading is a procedural floor action that formally places bills on the day's calendar for subsequent consideration; the transcript contained no floor description, committee referral, sponsor names, or bill subjects for House Files 3331 6 through 3336. The day's immediate business otherwise consisted of routine procedural items and announcements; no substantive debate on the introduced House Files was recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
The House recessed following the voice vote and caucus announcements. Additional details about the introduced bills, including titles, sponsors, committee referrals, or subsequent action, were not specified in the provided transcript segment.
