AI Summary

This bill, proposing new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 115, allows government entities like state agencies, cities, counties, and special government units that set water quality rules to permit the use of untreated rainwater and stormwater for outdoor purposes, provided there's a low or no chance of humans or animals consuming it or immersing themselves in it. Importantly, this allowance specifically excludes using the water for drinking or swimming, and it does not impact the use of rainwater and stormwater in farming for food crops.
