Dedication to the resource management account increase

SF 1082 increases the percentage of solid waste management fees allocated to Minnesota's resource management account over time. Starting in 2026, 7% of these fees will go to the account, rising to 20% in 2027, and 30% annually from 2028 onward. This change shifts funds previously directed to the general fund toward environmental programs, with the money distributed to counties via the Pollution Control Agency under existing rules. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
