This bill assigns the responsibility for the maintenance and use of the Old Williams School property to the commissioner of natural resources, removing any obligations from Lake of the Woods County. Specifically, it states that the commissioner, in consultation with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, will oversee the property, ensuring its upkeep and appropriate utilization.
Additionally, the bill mandates that by February 1, 2026, the commissioner must provide a report to the relevant legislative committees detailing options for the cleanup, maintenance, and use of the Old Williams School site. This new provision is effective immediately following the final enactment of the bill.
