Agriculture department principal offices required to be located in Blue Earth or Nicollet County.

HF 2166 requires the Minnesota Department of Agriculture to relocate its main offices to either Blue Earth County or Nicollet County by June 1, 2028. This procedural bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 17.01, changing the location requirement for the department's principal offices. The bill directly affects the Department of Agriculture's operational headquarters and does not create new programs or funding. It is a straightforward location mandate with no additional policy provisions.
