The bill proposes to prohibit the Metropolitan Council from expanding the Metropolitan Urban Service Area beyond the boundaries established in the 2040 comprehensive plan, as depicted in the February 2024 Metropolitan Urban Service Area map. This new legal language is codified under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 473, specifically designated as section 473.8591.

Additionally, the bill includes an effective date for this prohibition, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This measure aims to maintain the current urban service area limits and prevent any future expansions that could alter the planned development and resource allocation within the metropolitan region.
