The bill appropriates $250,000 from a specified fund for the fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of natural resources to initiate condemnation proceedings for certain lands in Cass County. This funding can be used for various project costs, including valuation expenses, legal fees, and closing costs, and is available until fully spent. The bill also allows the commissioner to convey the condemned land, which is described in detail, to a federally recognized Indian Tribe without any financial consideration, overriding existing statutes that may conflict with this action.

Additionally, the commissioner is authorized to make necessary adjustments to the legal description of the land to correct any errors. The Department of Natural Resources has determined that the land is not required for natural resource purposes and believes that returning it to Tribal ownership would best serve the state's land management interests.
