Changes to Minnesota wetland rule pass House committee
Published: , in Outdoor News
The Minnesota House Environment and Natural Resources Finance Policy Committee approved H.F. 8 on Thursday, Feb. 13 – Wetland Conservation Act amendments – in a party-line vote of 7-5 in favor of it advancing to the labor committee.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Josh Heintzeman, R-Nisswa, would amend portions of the Wetland Conservation Act to try to streamline the permitting process for businesses. As approved, it would limit the number of people who can comment on a proposed project, dedicate a new full-time position to overseeing applications, and remove redundancies in the permitting process.
