Pollinator account statutory appropriation elimination and lawns to legumes grant program repealer
This bill repeals two key provisions related to pollinator conservation in Minnesota. It eliminates the statutory funding for the "Pollinator Account" (ending annual appropriations for habitat projects) and repeals the "Lawns to Legumes" grant program (which provided financial assistance for planting pollinator-friendly native vegetation in residential and community spaces). The law removes both the funding mechanism and the program, effective July 1, 2025. These changes directly affect the Board of Water and Soil Resources (which managed the programs) and communities or individuals previously eligible for the grants. The bill makes no new policy changes but removes existing funding and program structures.
