This bill, H.F. No. 1314, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives, proposes an appropriation of $10 million for acquiring private lands within state parks and state recreation areas. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources would use these funds to purchase lands from willing sellers, either to create new parks/recreation areas or to expand existing ones.

To fund this initiative, the bill authorizes the sale and issuance of state bonds totaling $10 million. The commissioner of management and budget would oversee the bond sale in accordance with Minnesota statutes and the Minnesota Constitution.

In summary, the legislation focuses on state park and recreation area expansion through land acquisition, financed by state bonds.
