Minnesota HF1303 allows purple paint to be used instead of signs to prohibit trespassing on private and public land.

Minnesota HF1303 amends state statutes to allow the use of purple paint as an alternative to signage for prohibiting trespassing on private and public land. The bill specifies that purple paint must be applied to trees along the perimeter of the land, at least three feet off the ground, to trees that are at least one inch wide, and in a strip that is at least eight inches tall. This change provides landowners and managers of public land with an additional method to mark areas where outdoor recreation is not permitted.
