HF 1864 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Approval of the use of state money required to acquire real property in fee.

HF 1864 requires state agencies or entities using state funds to buy land (acquiring property "in fee") to obtain two specific approvals before proceeding: (1) formal approval from the Minnesota legislature during a regular session, and (2) approval from the county board of commissioners where the land is located. If the land spans multiple counties, approval from every affected county board is required. This bill directly affects state agencies, universities, or other public entities that use state money to purchase land. It creates a mandatory review process to ensure both state legislative and local county oversight for such acquisitions.
