Commissioner of natural resources made responsible for the maintenance and use of the Old Williams School property, and report required.

This bill transfers responsibility for the Old Williams School property from Lake of the Woods County to Minnesota's Commissioner of Natural Resources, who must maintain and use the site. The Commissioner must consult with the Pollution Control Agency and submit a report by February 1, 2026, detailing cleanup, maintenance, and usage options to relevant legislative committees. The bill directly affects Lake of the Woods County (removing its management duties) and the Natural Resources Commissioner (assigning new responsibilities).
