Bill > SF126

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 93.001 to explicitly declare Minnesota as a "mining-friendly state" and reinforce the state's existing policy of supporting mineral development. Specifically, the bill adds language that directly states "Minnesota is a mining-friendly state" and maintains the existing policy language that emphasizes the state's commitment to diversifying its mineral economy. The added language underscores the state's support for various aspects of mineral industry activities, including exploration, environmental research, development, production, and commercialization. By making this declaration, the bill appears to signal a strong legislative stance in favor of mining activities and aims to provide clarity and encouragement for mineral-related economic development in Minnesota.
