This bill, H.F. No. 1302, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives, proposes a new law requiring government entities to provide actual notice before using an easement on private property. The notice must be given to the property owner by mail, email, or telephone. If a municipality or state agency fails to provide notice, it will face a $500 civil penalty per violation. Additionally, the affected property owner may file a lawsuit in district court to recover damages, penalties, costs, and attorney fees.
