SF 2077 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Omnibus Outdoor Heritage Fund, Legacy and Lands bill

SF 2077 is an appropriations bill that allocates over $151 million for Minnesota's Environment and Natural Resources programs in fiscal year 2026, with similar funding for 2027. It funds the Pollution Control Agency for water quality monitoring, air pollution programs, and hazardous chemical oversight, including $1.2 million annually for air monitoring and $144,000 for water quality programs. The bill also establishes a stewardship program for electronic waste (circuit boards, batteries) and prohibits mercury in batteries, while modifying fee structures and permitting processes. These funds directly support state environmental agencies, local municipalities managing water infrastructure, and businesses handling electronic products. The bill does not create new regulations but provides budget authority for existing environmental programs and specific policy adjustments.
