Bill > SF3913

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 changes the existing law to prevent commission 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 or final recommendations if the member had a direct financial interest in the organization involved. The bill also amends the section of law concerning land purchases from the trust fund to remove a clause that allowed for a reduced number of affirmative votes needed for approval if a member was ineligible to vote due to a conflict of interest.
