HF 3732 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Employment and economic development finance and policy bill.

HF 3732 repeals several unfunded programs within the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, including specific sections related to green economy initiatives and redevelopment priorities. The bill removes these programs from state law and makes necessary adjustments to other statutes to eliminate references to them. This action simplifies the department's legal framework by eliminating outdated or unnecessary program requirements without affecting current funding. The repeal does not create new obligations or change existing programs, as the repealed provisions were unfunded and inactive.
