This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 103I.235, to modify the requirements for well disclosure certificates during real property transactions. It introduces a new requirement for sellers to submit a well disclosure certificate to the commissioner of health before closing the sale, which must include specific information about the wells on the property, the buyer's details, and a nonrefundable fee of $50. The bill also establishes a timeline for the implementation of an information technology system to facilitate the electronic submission of these certificates and mandates that the county recorders and registrars of titles verify the information provided on the certificates.

Additionally, the bill designates the new property owner as the responsible person for any wells located on the property after the sale. It includes provisions for the expiration of certain paragraphs by July 31, 2028, or a date specified by the commissioner in the State Register, and appropriates funds for the development of the information technology system necessary for the well disclosure certification process. This system aims to streamline the submission and management of well disclosure certificates, ensuring compliance and enhancing public health oversight.
