Deadlines for establishment of special service districts and housing improvement districts repealed.
This bill removes existing deadlines that previously required special laws to establish new special service districts and housing improvement districts in Minnesota after June 30, 2028. By repealing sections 428A.101 and 428A.21 of the Minnesota Statutes, the legislation allows local governments to create these districts under general law without needing separate state authorization. The change directly affects local municipalities and counties that might want to form these districts for purposes like infrastructure improvements or housing development. This procedural update simplifies the process for local governments seeking to establish these districts in the future.
