HF 1362 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Reporting requirements for certain environmental reviews modified.

HF 1362 repeals a Minnesota law requiring state environmental agencies to submit biennial reports to the governor and legislative committees about mandatory environmental review categories. The repealed provision (Minnesota Statutes § 116D.04, subd. 5b) mandated agencies to document the historical purpose of each review category, assess overlaps with other permits, and recommend changes. This bill directly affects agencies like the Pollution Control Agency, Department of Natural Resources, and Department of Transportation, which previously had to comply with these reporting requirements. The change eliminates a specific administrative obligation without altering environmental review processes or standards.
