Bill > HF3427

This bill modifies conflict of interest rules for members of the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR), a body that makes recommendations on how to spend money from the state's trust fund for natural resources. Specifically, it prevents LCCMR members from serving as a project manager for or receiving any financial or other compensation from a proposal being reviewed by the commission or receiving money from the trust fund, which is a broader restriction than the previous rule that only prohibited voting on land purchases under certain circumstances. The bill also removes a provision that reduced the required number of votes for certain commission actions if a member was prohibited from voting due to a conflict of interest. These changes are intended to ensure that LCCMR members avoid any potential conflicts of interest when making decisions about natural resource projects and funding.
