Bill > HF1382

This bill removes two specific sections from Minnesota state law that are now considered obsolete. The first repealed section (116C.04, subdivision 11) related to the Environmental Quality Board's responsibility to coordinate implementation of lead regulations and report to the legislature by January 31, 1992, which is clearly outdated. The second repealed section (116C.991) provided detailed environmental review requirements for silica sand projects, specifying thresholds for when an environmental assessment worksheet or impact statement must be prepared, including specific criteria such as land excavation area, sand storage capacity, and requirements for comprehensive assessments of groundwater, surface water, air quality, traffic impacts, and potential mitigation measures. By repealing these sections, the bill effectively eliminates these specific regulatory provisions, likely because they are no longer relevant or have been superseded by newer regulations or rules. The bill appears to be a routine legislative housekeeping measure to remove outdated statutory language.
