This bill modifies various procedures and reporting requirements related to the Metropolitan Council in Minnesota. Key changes include the transition from a biennial to a decennial review of rules by the council and the advisory metropolitan land use committee, which must now occur by January 15 of each year ending in "5." Additionally, the bill eliminates the requirement for a legislative report on these rules and adjusts the process for municipalities to establish affordable and life-cycle housing goals, allowing for more flexibility in the timing of these negotiations.

Further amendments include changes to the distribution of funds for municipalities that have not met their housing goals, removing the previous requirement for dollar-for-dollar matching funds. The bill also updates the timeline for submitting anticipated operation and maintenance expenditures for regional parks, moving the deadline from July 1 to May 15. Lastly, it clarifies the process for land use expiration by the authority, ensuring that comprehensive plans and zoning are amended within six months of notification. The act is set to take effect the day after final enactment and applies to specific counties in Minnesota.
