The Minnesota Supreme Court on Friday sided with Democrats in their interpretation of quorum question at the center of a power dispute in the state House, ruling that the 68 members need to be present to meet that threshold.

The order should force Republicans back to the table for a power-sharing agreement, likely similar to the state Senate, which is also tied between Democrats and Republicans during what has become a contentious 2025 state House session.

The Court said the Minnesota Constitution requires 68 members present to conduct business, one more than the GOP's 67 members holding sessions without the DFL.
