Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to state government; precluding naming laws after people; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 10.49.

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing Minnesota state law regarding the naming of laws, facilities, and entities by prohibiting the practice of naming laws, councils, buildings, roads, or other facilities after people, specifically focusing on living individuals. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 10.49, changing the effective date from July 1, 2009, to July 1, 2025, and extends the prohibition on naming to all people, not just living people. The purpose of this legislation appears to be establishing a standard practice that prevents personalization of laws and public infrastructure by naming them after specific individuals. The bill will become effective the day after it receives final enactment, ensuring that going forward, Minnesota will not create new named laws or facilities that are associated with individual people, regardless of their status (living or deceased).
