Outdoor heritage legacy finance bill.
This bill appropriates funds from Minnesota's outdoor heritage fund to support land conservation and wildlife habitat restoration projects for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years. The money is designated for specific initiatives, including acquiring land and conservation easements for the Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge, expanding wildlife management areas through partnerships with organizations like Pheasants Forever, and enhancing prairie chicken habitats in the Red River Valley. These one-time appropriations prioritize the purchase of lands eligible for the state's native prairie bank or those adjacent to existing protected prairie areas. The legislation modifies prior appropriation laws to authorize these specific spending allocations to the commissioner of natural resources.
