SF 3075 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Counties providing of administrative penalties for certain violations of park ordinances authorization provision

This bill allows Minnesota counties to establish administrative penalties (like fines) for certain park ordinance violations instead of treating them as criminal misdemeanors. It directly affects county governments, which can create their own penalty systems through local ordinances, and park users who might face these fines. The key provision amends Minnesota law to clarify that counties may impose administrative penalties for park rule violations, with all collected fines deposited into the county park fund. This change gives counties flexibility in enforcing park rules without requiring criminal prosecution for minor violations.
