This bill proposes a new law in Minnesota Statutes (Chapter 92) that would prohibit the sale of state-owned land within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). The bill specifies that the Minnesota Commissioner of Natural Resources (DNR) cannot sell any such land, regardless of other laws.

The protected state-owned land includes: - Land where school trust interest was extinguished through condemnation. - University lands granted to the state by Congress. - Any other land acquired by the state and managed by the Commissioner of Natural Resources.

However, the bill does allow for land exchanges, meaning state-owned land in the BWCAW could be swapped for other land if legally valid.

Additionally, the bill repeals Minnesota Statutes 2024, Section 92.82, which presumably contained previous provisions related to the sale or exchange of land in the area.

This legislation aims to ensure state-owned lands in the BWCAW remain publicly controlled and are not sold off, while still allowing for potential land exchanges.
