The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 18.79, subdivision 3, to enhance the process for noxious weed inspections. It allows inspectors or county-designated employees to enter private land for the purpose of administering and enforcing noxious weed regulations, but now requires that they provide notice to the property owner via mail before doing so.

This change aims to ensure that property owners are informed prior to any inspections, thereby promoting transparency and communication between inspectors and landowners. The requirement for notification is a significant addition to the existing law, which previously allowed entry without the owner's consent or prior notice.
