# Chapter 167 *Session law (Minnesota), the 2012 Voter ID constitutional amendment as passed by the Legislature.* **Chapter 167** is, according to the project's at-issue record, the session-law chapter under which the [[Minnesota]] [[Legislature]] passed the 2012 [[Voter ID constitutional amendment]]. The same record states that voters rejected the amendment in November 2012.[^1] The at-issue record names [[Mary Kiffmeyer]], a former Secretary of State, as the amendment's lead House author.[^1] The Sherburne County package that carries the entry links it to a March 2025 White House presidential action on information silos.[^2] ## What - The at-issue record identifies Chapter 167 as the 2012 Voter ID constitutional amendment. It passed the Legislature under that chapter number, and voters rejected it in November 2012.[^1] - The record lists the Legislative Reference Library (lrl.mn.gov) and the Revisor of Statutes (revisor.mn.gov) as its sources. The pack does not supply the text or URL of either, so the chapter's content, the vote tallies, and the election count are not stated here.[^1] ## Who - The at-issue record names Mary Kiffmeyer as the lead House author of the amendment.[^1] - According to the same record, Kiffmeyer:[^1] - was Secretary of State from 1999 to 2007; - then served in the House; - then served eight years in the Senate, becoming President Pro Tempore; - lives in [[Big Lake]], Sherburne County. ## In the at-issue record The entry is row AI-Sherburne-056 of the Sherburne package. It is ranked 56 in the package's section "II. THE TWO OFFICES (31–60)."[^1] The row's anchor is the White House presidential action *Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos* (March 2025).[^2] The package explains the anchor by describing Kiffmeyer as "the verification argument's Minnesota author."[^1] The pack carries no text from the presidential action. The record therefore does not establish how the action relates to Chapter 167; the link is the package's own framing.[^2] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota wiki project, Sherburne politics brief, *at-issue row AI-Sherburne-056* (rank 56; year 1999) — states the Chapter 167 designation, the November 2012 rejection by voters, Kiffmeyer's role as lead House author, and her offices and residence. The row names lrl.mn.gov and revisor.mn.gov as its sources, but the pack supplies no URL for them.
