HF 530 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Supermajority vote of the legislature required to convey certain state land for less than market value, and constitutional amendment proposed.

HF 530 proposes adding a constitutional amendment requiring a three-fifths vote in both legislative chambers to approve any law conveying state land exceeding 640 acres for less than its market value. This would directly affect state land transactions, requiring broader legislative consensus for such sales. The bill mandates that if adopted, the amendment must be submitted to voters in the 2026 general election with a specific "yes/no" question. The key provision changes the standard for approving below-market-value land conveyances from a simple majority to a supermajority vote. The amendment would apply only to land sales exceeding 640 acres, not smaller transactions.
