AI Summary
This bill exempts Tribal lands within Minnesota from the regulations that grant electric utilities exclusive rights to serve specific geographic areas, meaning that electric utilities will no longer be restricted from providing service on these lands if another utility is already assigned to that area. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 216B.40, by adding a new provision that clarifies these exclusive rights and assigned service areas do not apply within the boundaries of the 11 sovereign Indian nations in Minnesota, as identified in another section of law, and this change will take effect the day after it is officially enacted.
