The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 462.357, subdivision 1c, to clarify the regulations surrounding the amortization of certain property uses by municipalities. It prohibits municipalities from enacting, amending, or enforcing ordinances that eliminate or terminate a lawful use of property at the time of its inception. The new language specifies that this prohibition applies to uses defined by ordinance, as well as to production, processing, and industrial uses, also defined by ordinance.

Additionally, the bill includes an effective date, stating that the new provisions will take effect the day following final enactment. This legislative change aims to protect existing lawful property uses from being prematurely terminated by local government actions.
