Minnesota SF 1832 sent to conference committee after chambers disagree on amendments
I need to flag a data conflict before writing: the "current status" field says "passed_both_chambers / heading to the governor," but the action log shows the bill is actually in a conference committee process as of 2025-05-13, with chambers disagreeing on amendments. The most recent vote on record (House Amendment, 2025-05-09: 65-67) failed. I will write to what the action log actually supports, which is the conference committee stage, not a governor-bound posture.

Minnesota SF 1832, an omnibus jobs, labor and economic development policy and appropriations bill, is currently in a conference committee process after the House and Senate could not agree on amendment language. As of May 13, 2025, House conferees were formally named, marking the latest step in resolving differences between the two chambers on the wide-ranging labor and economic development measure.
The bill is sponsored by Sen. Champion with one co-sponsor. The House passed an amendment on May 9, 2025, but that vote failed 65-67. The Senate subsequently refused to concur, triggering a conference committee request. Both chambers named six conferees each, with Senate conferees including Champion, McEwen, Mohamed, Hauschild, Oumou Verbeten and Draheim, and House conferees including Pinto, Greenman, Frazier, Baker, Zeleznikar and Mekeland (source: https://openstates.org/mn/bills/2025-2026/SF1832/).
The 12-member conference committee must now negotiate a compromise version of the bill. If conferees reach agreement, both chambers would need to vote on the final conference report before the bill could advance to the governor.
