Minnesota HF1873 requires municipal approval for guideway plans, allows municipalities to revoke approval, and prohibits requesting federal funds.

Minnesota HF1873 mandates that metropolitan area councils must obtain approval from cities, counties, and towns for guideway plans before proceeding. This includes holding public hearings and allowing local governments to approve or disapprove the plans. If disapproved, the council must hold a second public hearing and consider amendments. Municipalities can revoke their approval at any time before federal funding is secured. Federal funds cannot be requested until all local governments approve the plans. This bill applies to all current and future guideways, excluding light rail transit.
