AI Generated Summary

This legislative bill proposes changes related to Minnesota's natural resources, specifically focusing on pollinators. It aims to modify how funds are managed within the pollinator account by ending its automatic funding. Instead of funds being directly assigned, they will now require a legal deposit and then will be available for approval for use. Additionally, the bill also seeks to repeal the "Lawns to Legumes" grant program, which was initially designed to help residential lawns support pollinator-friendly environments. The changes are being made to the way pollinator support activities are funded and managed in the state.
