State parks; acquisition provisions modified, state parks added to and deleted from, and sales and conveyances of state and county lands authorized.

This bill modifies how Minnesota acquires land for state parks, establishes specific payment formulas for stream easements, and adds or removes certain parcels from state park boundaries. It requires the commissioner of natural resources to prepare fact sheets and appraisals before acquiring land, limits purchase prices to within ten percent of appraised values, and sets a fixed payment structure for stream easements based on stream length, corridor size, and market values. The legislation also authorizes the commissioner to acquire access easements to native prairie for up to 50 percent of the standard payment rate and adds specific land parcels to Frontenac and Great River Bluffs State Parks while removing one area from Mille Lacs Kathio State Park.
