Bill > HF5350

This bill provides for gas or oil exploration and production leases and permits on state-owned land in Minnesota. It creates a Minnesota Gas and Oil Resources Technical Advisory Committee to develop recommendations for a temporary regulatory framework to govern permitting before rules are adopted. The bill also authorizes rulemaking by various state agencies related to gas and oil production, requires a report on recommended statutory and policy changes, and appropriates money from the minerals management account to implement the provisions of the bill.
