Constitutional amendment proposal to allow the lieutenant governor to cast a vote in the house of representatives in case of a tie

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution that would allow the lieutenant governor to cast a tie-breaking vote in the House of Representatives. If approved by voters in the 2028 general election, this change would give the lieutenant governor a vote only when the House is equally divided on a question, and they would not be considered a member of the House for any other reason.
