ST. PAUL, Minn.– Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk (DFL-Cook) released today the 2015 session Senate committee chairs, vice chairs and committee schedule.
“The space available for Senate committees has been reduced to three hearing rooms, forcing a realignment of the committee schedule and structure,” Bakk said, “The 2015 Senate committee schedule creates the efficiencies necessary, given the space limitations due to renovation of the Capitol.”
