Bill > HF1612

This bill appropriates $250,000 from the environment and natural resources trust fund to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in fiscal year 2026 for updating a specific geological resource document known as Information Circular 46, which is an aggregate resources inventory for the seven-county metropolitan area. The funding will specifically support updating the inventory with a focus on projecting future aggregate resource needs and estimating how long current aggregate resources are expected to last. The bill also mandates that the commissioner perform duties related to this project under Minnesota Statutes section 84.94. In geological terms, "aggregate" refers to granular materials like sand, gravel, and crushed stone that are essential for construction and infrastructure development, making this inventory update important for urban and regional planning purposes.
