HF 3282 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Naming of laws after people precluded.

HF 3282 prohibits naming new Minnesota state laws, public buildings, roads, or other government facilities after living people. It amends Minnesota Statutes section 10.49 to ban such naming for all state government designations enacted after July 1, 2025. The law applies directly to state legislators, government agencies, and local entities creating new laws or designating public spaces. This change takes effect the day after final enactment, affecting future legislation and facility naming decisions.
