This bill establishes requirements for hiring an executive director for the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council in Minnesota. It creates a 12-member council with specific appointment processes and term limits, requiring public members to have expertise in natural resource conservation. The legislation mandates that any interview panel for the executive director position must include equal representation from the two largest political parties and requires unanimous agreement or multiple candidate recommendations to the full council.
