Public water inventory modifications temporary prohibition
This bill temporarily halts modifications to Minnesota's public waters inventory (a state list of water bodies like lakes and rivers) until July 1, 2027. It directly affects the commissioner of natural resources, who cannot update the inventory during this period. The bill requires the commissioner to submit a detailed report by January 15, 2027, outlining how future modifications should include local government input and public comment. The report must be developed with input from counties, cities, and other local stakeholders to improve the process. This is a temporary freeze focused on procedural reforms, not a permanent policy change.
