Counties permitted to provide administrative penalties for certain violations of park ordinances.

HF 2917 allows Minnesota counties to impose administrative fines (instead of criminal misdemeanor charges) for specific violations of park ordinances through county-level rules. Counties adopting this system would collect fines from violators and deposit them into local park funds. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 398.34 to clarify that county ordinances on park violations can use this penalty approach, while remaining supplementary to city park rules. This policy change takes effect August 1, 2025.
