Bill > SF3457

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes by modifying the existing law about naming legislation and public entities, specifically updating the prohibition on naming laws, facilities, or other entities after people. The key change extends the existing restriction by removing the word "living" from the original text, which means laws enacted on or after July 1, 2025, cannot be named after any person (whether living or deceased), and public entities like councils, buildings, and roads are also prohibited from being named after individuals. The bill aims to create a more consistent standard for naming laws and public infrastructure, ensuring that personal recognition does not become a primary method of identifying legislative acts or public spaces. The amendment will become effective the day after it receives final enactment, providing a clear and immediate implementation of the new naming restrictions.
