Bill > SF467

This bill prohibits local governments in Minnesota from implementing regulations that would ban natural gas hookups in residential construction after July 1, 2025. Specifically, the legislation prevents cities, counties, or other local political subdivisions from creating ordinances that would prevent homeowners or builders from connecting new residential units to natural gas infrastructure. The bill aims to maintain natural gas as a viable energy source for residential buildings by preempting potential local restrictions. By establishing this statewide prohibition, the legislation ensures that homeowners and builders across Minnesota will retain the option to use natural gas for heating, cooking, and other residential energy needs, regardless of local government preferences. The bill becomes effective immediately after it is enacted, which means local governments would be immediately barred from implementing such bans.
