SF 1887 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Real property acquirement in fee using state money approval requirement provision

SF 1887 requires that any real estate purchase using state funds must be approved by both the Minnesota legislature during a regular session and the county board of commissioners where the property is located. If the property spans multiple counties, all affected county boards must approve the purchase. County boards may instead refer the decision to a public vote via ballot question. This bill directly affects state agencies and local governments that use state money to acquire land, ensuring major property purchases have legislative and local oversight.
