AI Generated Summary

This legislative bill aims to modify the taxation rules for certain electric cooperatives in Minnesota. It specifically changes how property used in the distribution of electricity to farmers is taxed. The bill proposes that electric power distribution lines and associated systems, except for substations and transmission or generation equipment, when used mainly to supply electricity to farmers at retail, should be tax-exempt. This change is intended to impact how property taxes are applied to specific parts of electric infrastructure serving the agricultural sector.
