Acquisition provisions modification

This bill modifies how Minnesota acquires state lands and adjusts certain state park boundaries. It establishes new procedures for purchasing land and easements, including specific payment formulas for stream easements based on agricultural and forest market values, and allows the commissioner to acquire access easements to native prairie at up to 50% of the standard payment rate. The legislation also adds specific parcels to Frontenac and Great River Bluffs State Parks while removing a portion of land from Mille Lacs Kathio State Park. These changes affect the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and landowners whose properties may be acquired or whose land boundaries will change.
