Constitutional amendment proposal to require a supermajority vote of the legislature to convey certain state land for less than market value

SF 436 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring a three-fifths supermajority vote in both the Minnesota House and Senate to pass any law authorizing the sale of state land exceeding 640 acres for less than its market value. This bill directly affects state land transactions involving large parcels sold below market price, including potential sales for development, conservation, or other purposes. The key mechanism establishes a higher voting threshold (three-fifths of each chamber) for such conveyances, replacing the current simple majority requirement. The amendment must be approved by voters in the 2026 general election to take effect.
