Commissioner of natural resources responsibility assignment for the maintenance and use of the Old Williams School property
This bill transfers responsibility for the Old Williams School property from Lake of the Woods County to the Commissioner of Natural Resources, who must manage its maintenance and use. It requires the Commissioner, in consultation with the Pollution Control Agency, to submit a report by February 1, 2026, detailing cleanup, maintenance, and usage options for the site. The bill directly affects Lake of the Woods County (removing its management duty) and state agencies managing the property. It does not alter land use policies but clarifies administrative oversight for this specific site.
