SF 3800 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Community solar garden program named for Melissa Hortman

SF 3800 names Minnesota's community solar garden program after former state representative Melissa Hortman. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 216B.1641, to establish "Melissa Hortman Community Solar Garden Program" as the official short title for the existing program. This is a ceremonial renaming with no changes to program rules, funding, or eligibility requirements. The bill does not alter how the community solar program operates or who can participate. It solely honors Melissa Hortman's contributions to energy policy.
