Bill > HF1362

This bill repeals a specific subdivision (5b) of Minnesota Statutes section 116D.04, which previously required the Environmental Quality Board, Pollution Control Agency, Department of Natural Resources, and Department of Transportation to submit a comprehensive triennial report to the governor and legislative committee chairs. This report had detailed requirements for reviewing environmental assessment worksheets and environmental impact statements, including analyzing the historical purposes of different environmental review categories, their relationship to existing permits, and recommendations for potential modifications. By removing this subdivision, the bill eliminates the mandatory periodic review and reporting process for these environmental review categories, thereby potentially reducing administrative reporting requirements for these state agencies.
