The Minnesota Legislature is the bicameral legislature of the U.S. state of Minnesota, composed of a Senate and a House of Representatives. The legislature originally met at the old Territorial Capitol in Saint Paul and now convenes at the Minnesota State Capitol. The Senate currently has 67 members and the House has 134 members, a configuration in place since the 1970s. Minnesota legislators serve without term limits. House members are elected to two-year terms and Senators to four-year terms in years ending in 2 and 6 and two-year terms in years ending in 0, with all Senate seats up for election after each decennial redistricting.
Both houses of the legislature meet between January and the first Monday following the third Saturday in May each year, not to exceed 120 legislative days per biennium. Floor sessions are held in the Minnesota State Capitol in Saint Paul.
