Summary��

Technical summaries of bills sent to the governor

Editor’s Note: The Summary section of New Laws 2004 includes information about all 163 bills the Legislature (House and Senate) approved during the 2004 regular session. Of the bills the Legislature approved, Gov. Tim Pawlenty vetoed four in full and line-item vetoed portions of one. The 2004 Legislature did not override any of the governor’s vetoes. Most of the bills in this section are categorized numerically by chapter number under the House committee of origin (the committee to which the speaker of the House first referred them). Each entry includes: a brief title; House file, Senate file, and chapter numbers; chief authors; the official technical title as it appeared on the version of the bill the governor considered; the enactment date; and the effective date(s). The following term definitions will be helpful in reading this section:• Enactment date — The date the governor signed the bill into law.

• † — The bill was filed or became law without the governor’s signature.

• Vetoed — The governor did not approve the bill.

• Line-item veto — The governor signed the appropriations bill but vetoed individual item(s) to which he objected.

• * — An asterisk marks the version of the bill the House and Senate approved and passed on to the governor.

• Effective date — Each act takes effect at 12:01 a.m. on the day it becomes effective,unless the act specifies a different time.

• Aug. 1, 2004 — Each act the governor signs into law, except for those that make ap-propriations, takes effect on Aug. 1 following its final enactment, unless the act specifies a different date.

• July 1, 2004 — An appropriations act, or an act having appropriations items, takes effect at the beginning of the first day of July following its final enactment, unless the act speci-fies a different date.

• Upon local approval — A special law requiring approval from the local government unit it affects becomes effective the day after the local governing body files a certificate with the secretary of state, unless the act specifies a later date.

• Various dates — Different articles or sections of the act have different effective dates which are cited at the end of each article.

• With exceptions — An act is effective, for the most part, on one particular date, but there are some minor exceptions.

• With qualifications — The act adds conditions to the effective date.

• Retroactive — The act or parts of the act go into effect as of a specified date in the past.

If you would like a copy of a bill, call the House Chief Clerk’s Office, (651) 296-2314 or the Senate Information Office, (651) 296-2343. Ask for the bill by chapter number or by the House or Senate file number if no chapter number appears. Bills also are available on the Legislature’s Web site (http://www.leg.mn).
