SF 2141 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Use of appropriation from the clean water fund, the parks and trails fund, and the arts and cultural heritage fund prohibition from being used to acquire property through eminent domain

This bill prohibits using funds from Minnesota's clean water fund, parks and trails fund, or arts and cultural heritage fund to acquire private property through eminent domain - unless the property owner specifically requests it. It amends three existing statutes (Minnesota Statutes 85.53, 114D.50, and 129D.17) to add this restriction. The law directly affects state agencies and programs that manage these funds when seeking land for projects. It changes how these funds can be spent, requiring owner consent before eminent domain may be used for acquisitions funded by these specific sources.
