Automatic appointment confirmation eliminated when the legislature does not take up a confirmation.

Summary

The bill removes Minnesota Statutes 15.066, subdivision 3, which currently auto‑confirms appointments if the Senate or both chambers do not reject them within 60 legislative days. It means all such appointments will stay pending until the legislature takes explicit action. The change applies to most appointments requiring Senate or joint Senate‑House confirmation, except those to the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board.
