Minnesota SF816 amends local government ordinances to prohibit the amortization of lawful property uses, with exceptions for adults-only businesses.

Minnesota SF816 amends local government ordinances to prohibit the amortization of lawful property uses. This means municipalities cannot enact, amend, or enforce ordinances that phase out or terminate lawful property uses through amortization. Exceptions are made for adults-only bookstores, theaters, and similar businesses, as defined by ordinance, and for nonconforming industrial uses in environmental justice areas in first-class cities. This change aims to protect certain property uses while allowing flexibility for specific types of businesses and industrial uses in designated areas.
