Bill > HF3428

This bill repeals Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 116P.17, which previously required recipients of appropriations from a specific trust fund to obtain written approval from the commissioner of natural resources before acquiring certain interests in real property, unless the acquisition fell under specific exemptions like conservation easements or metropolitan regional recreation open space systems. The repealed law also mandated that recipients submit acquisition plans and value assessments to both the commissioner and a commission at least ten business days before a proposed purchase. The repeal of this requirement means that these land acquisitions will no longer need prior approval from the commissioner of natural resources, simplifying the process for those using these trust fund appropriations.
