SF 3516 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Scope modification of certain local plant pest control resolutions and ordinances

This bill modifies local plant pest control regulations in Minnesota. It requires cities, counties, and towns to update existing ordinances by September 1, 2025, to include new requirements for officials enforcing pest control rules. Key provisions mandate that officials must first speak with property owners before inspections, provide annual pest control plans addressing potential racial equity impacts, give owners 180 days' notice before requiring pest removal, and share itemized costs if work is done at the owner's expense. The bill directly affects local governments creating these ordinances and property owners subject to pest control enforcement.
