Clarifies public waters and public drainage system laws in Minnesota.

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to clarify public waters and public drainage system laws. It specifies that acceptance of a repair design and configuration recommendation by the commissioner constitutes permission for the repair. It also outlines conditions under which a public-waters-work permit is not required, such as work in altered natural watercourses or repair of a public drainage system. The bill further details the process for determining repair depth when the commissioner does not concur with the repair design and configuration.
