Minnesota SF279 amends the public water inventory revision process, including reclassification of wetlands and updating maps.

Minnesota SF279 modifies the public water inventory revision process by allowing the commissioner to reclassify certain wetlands as public waters. The commissioner must notify relevant parties, including local governments and county boards, of any reclassifications or revisions. If no objections are received within 60 days, the changes become effective. The bill also appropriates $1,000,000 annually from fiscal years 2025 through 2032 to update the public water inventory.
