This bill, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives by Representative Skraba, pertains to the management of boathouse leases at Soudan Underground Mine State Park. It seeks to amend previous legislation to regulate the renewal, transfer, and conditions of boathouse leases on state-controlled land.

Key provisions include: - The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) must offer a new lease upon expiration of an existing boathouse lease to the current leaseholder or their designated successor. - The new lease terms include: 1. The lease duration shall be for the lifetime of the leaseholder and, if transferred, for the lifetime of the transferee. 2. The lease can be transferred only once and only to a person who is within the third degree of kindred or a first cousin. 3. No more than two lessees may be named on a lease, and each must be of legal age. 4. The rental cost must not exceed 50% of the average market rate based on comparable private leases, reassessed every five years. - The commissioner of natural resources may offer alternative sites to leaseholders. - The commissioner has the authority to lease or sell the property under certain conditions. - Lease cancellations are permitted only for noncompliance with the lease agreement. - The commissioner must provide a written receipt for all lease payments. - The bill also directs the commissioner to explore the inclusion of additional land parcels in Soudan Underground Mine State Park through discussions with U.S.X. Corporation and local government bodies.

The purpose of this legislation is to regulate the continued use of boathouse sites while ensuring fair pricing, transferability limitations, and potential expansion of state park boundaries.
