Английская Википедия:71st Minnesota Legislature
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox legislative session The seventy-first Minnesota Legislature first convened on January 3, 1979. The 67 members of the Minnesota Senate were elected during the General Election of November 2, 1976, and the 134 members of the Minnesota House of Representatives were elected during the General Election of November 7, 1978.
The seventy-first legislature is noteworthy for the partisan composition of the House of Representatives. Until Bob Pavlak was unseated for unfair campaign practices,[1] the House was equally divided between the DFL and the Independent-Republicans.[2] Due to the tie, the DFL and the Independent-Republicans were forced to forge a compromise by which the Independent-Republicans were to elect the Speaker from among their own ranks, while the DFL would be given the chairmanship of, and one-vote majorities on, the rules and tax committees. This agreement was superseded for the 1980 continuation of the regular session, by which time the DFL had gained a slim majority in the House.
Sessions
The legislature met in a regular session from January 3, 1979, to May 24, 1979. A special session was convened on May 24, 1979, to consider three bills regarding workers' compensation, energy, and transportation appropriations.[3]
A continuation of the regular session was held between January 22, 1980, and April 12, 1980. No special sessions were held in 1980. The legislature met for a total of 99 legislative days during the 1979-80 biennium.[3]

Notes
- ↑ Due to the fact that the DFL and the Independent-Republicans were evenly divided in the House when the seventy-first legislature convened, neither party could claim a majority and, instead, the two parties reached a compromise by which the Independent-Republicans would elect the Speaker from their own ranks, while the DFL would hold the chairmanship of, and one-vote majorities on, the rules and tax committees. The Independent-Republicans elected Rod Searle as Speaker.[2]
- ↑ When Bob Pavlak was expelled for unfair campaign practices, the DFL gained control of the House. In the process of selecting a Speaker, the DFL split into factions, with 26 DFLers supporting Fred C. Norton and 42 supporting Irv Anderson; however, 49 Independent-Republicans sided with the pro-Norton faction, and Norton became Speaker for the 1980 session.[8]
- ↑ Due to the fact that the House was evenly divided, the floor leaders of the DFL and Independent-Republican caucuses in the House—Irv Anderson and Jerry Knickerbocker, respectively—shared the role of Majority Leader during the 1979 sessions. In the 1980 session, Anderson was the sole Majority Leader.
- ↑ Since neither party held a majority in the House, and hence there was no minority, there was no House Minority Leader during the 1979 sessions.
- ↑ Anne K. Stokowski was the widow of Eugene E. Stokowski.[13][14]
