Bill > HF1430

This bill modifies the requirements for well disclosure certificates when selling real property in Minnesota. The bill introduces several key changes, including a new $50 fee for submitting a well disclosure certificate to the Department of Health, a requirement to electronically submit certificate information, and the creation of an information technology system to manage these certificates. Sellers must now provide more detailed information about wells on their property, including the legal description and location, when transferring real estate. The bill establishes that the new electronic submission process will be implemented no later than June 30, 2028, with county recorders and registrars of titles required to verify certificate information using the new system. Additionally, the bill specifies that after a property sale, the new property owner becomes responsible for any wells located on the property. The legislation also includes a one-time appropriation to develop the electronic well disclosure certificate system, with ongoing costs to be managed through a service-level agreement with the Department of Information Technology Services. The changes aim to improve the tracking and documentation of wells during real estate transactions while providing a more streamlined and technologically advanced process for well disclosure.
