AI Generated Summary

This Minnesota bill requires the commissioner of natural resources, in collaboration with the commissioners of revenue and management and budget, as well as stakeholders (including local government representatives), to prepare a report by December 1, 2026. The report will analyze and recommend changes to the state's payment in lieu of taxes (PILT) system for natural resource lands under Minnesota Statutes sections 477A.11 to 477A.14. It must include:

  1. An analysis of the current payment and distribution system.
  2. A review of payment rates for different types of natural resource lands.
  3. An assessment of whether current payments adequately compensate local governments for lost tax revenue.
  4. An evaluation of current funding sources and the potential impact of additional land acquisitions on funding.

The report will be submitted to legislative committees overseeing natural resources, tax policy, and finance.
