This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 1302), authored by Representatives Roach and Lawrence, proposes a requirement for government entities to provide actual notice before using an easement on private property. The notice must be given to the property owner via mail, email, or telephone. If a municipality or state agency fails to provide such notice, they will be subject to a $500 civil penalty per violation. Additionally, property owners affected by a violation can file a lawsuit in district court to recover actual damages, penalties, court costs, and reasonable attorney fees. This bill aims to enhance property owner rights and transparency in government easement usage.
