The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 473.856, to prohibit the Metropolitan Council from requiring local units of government to amend their comprehensive plans under certain conditions. Specifically, the council cannot mandate such amendments until it has secured all necessary resources from state or federal agencies to accommodate increased population density within the local jurisdiction. The term "resources" encompasses items such as potable water, real property, easements, and permits.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the process for local governmental units to review their comprehensive plans in relation to the metropolitan system plans. It establishes that after receiving a system statement from the council, each affected local unit must assess whether an amendment is needed to maintain conformity with these plans. The bill is effective the day following its final enactment and applies to the counties of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington.
