Environment and natural resources supplemental budget bill.
HF 3911 is a supplemental budget bill that provides funding and updates laws for Minnesota's environment and natural resources agencies for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years. The legislation appropriates money to various departments, including the Pollution Control Agency, and modifies existing statutes to establish new programs, adjust fees, and set rules for activities like gas exploration, forestry management, and water law enforcement. Specific provisions include creating a Packaging Waste and Cost Reduction Act, banning certain mercury-containing lights, and establishing a boat wrap product stewardship program. Additionally, the bill creates new accounts and task forces while repealing older sections of state law to align with current environmental and resource management needs.
