Grants to restore and create wetlands provided for the wetland banking program, and money appropriated.

HF 80 provides state funding for landowners to restore or create wetlands eligible under Minnesota's wetland banking program. The bill appropriates unspecified funds for fiscal years 2026-2027 to the Board of Water and Soil Resources to administer a cost-sharing program. Eligible activities include site assessments, engineering work (like removing drainage systems), planting vegetation, and securing long-term easements on restored wetlands. This directly affects landowners seeking to participate in the state's wetland conservation program under Minnesota Statutes sections 103G.222 and 103G.2251.
