Minnesota SF4962 amends timber permit rules to allow one-year extensions for eligible permits.

Minnesota SF4962 amends the state's timber permit regulations, allowing the commissioner of natural resources to grant one-year extensions to eligible permits without penalty or interest. An "eligible permit" is defined as an unexpired timber permit issued before March 1, 2026, and the permit holder must not be delinquent or have an active willful trespass with the state. The bill also allows for additional time, up to 240 days, for removing cut timber, equipment, and buildings upon request by the permit holder for good and sufficient reasons.
