HF 2156 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Closed and abandoned town roads maintenance provision eliminated.

HF 2156 repeals a Minnesota statute that allowed town boards to decide whether to maintain town roads abandoned for 25 years or more. This change removes a specific exception that previously prevented certain general road maintenance rules from applying to these abandoned roads. Town boards and voters will no longer have this option to bypass standard maintenance procedures for roads that haven't been maintained for a quarter-century. The bill directly affects local town governance by eliminating this administrative provision regarding road maintenance obligations.
