Clean Water Council membership, structure, and duties modified.

HF 2481 modifies the membership and duties of Minnesota's Clean Water Council, which advises on water quality programs. The bill changes the council to have 17 voting members appointed by the governor from specific groups, including two farm organization representatives, two environmental groups, local government representatives (cities, counties, watersheds), tribal governments, and others. The council’s key duties include advising state agencies on water quality priorities, coordinating efforts across agencies, and recommending funding allocations from the Clean Water Fund. This directly affects the council members, state environmental agencies, and local organizations involved in water management across Minnesota.
