Minnesota SF3516 amends local plant pest control resolutions and ordinances to include specific requirements. Local governments can adopt regulations to control and prevent the spread of plant pests and diseases. These regulations may authorize officers and employees to enter and inspect any public or private place that might harbor plant pests, remove diseased trees, require owners to destroy or treat plant pests, and provide for the work at the owner's expense. The expense must be a lien on the property and may be collected as a special assessment.
