Private sale of tax-forfeited land bordering public waters in Itasca County authorization

This bill allows Itasca County to sell up to 10% of tax-forfeited land bordering public waters through private sales (instead of public auctions), under specific conditions. The county must determine that returning such land to private ownership best serves its land management interests, and the sale requires attorney general approval of the conveyance form. This authority applies only to land that was tax-forfeited as of the bill's effective date and expires on June 30, 2027. The policy change directly affects Itasca County's land management practices for tax-forfeited properties near public water.
