SF25

The bill proposed in the Minnesota Senate, identified as SF No 25, aims to restrict the acquisition of land for flood control or water retention projects. Specifically, it prohibits any state agency or nonprofit organization from acquiring land, whether through complete ownership or easement, for the purpose of flood control or water retention if the state already owns land within the area designated for the project. The legislation is intended to regulate how land is used for managing floodwaters and retaining water, ensuring that new acquisitions are not made in areas where the state already has land holdings that could be used for these purposes.
