The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 10.49, to prohibit the naming of laws after living individuals. Specifically, it changes the effective date for this prohibition from July 1, 2009, to July 1, 2025. This means that any laws enacted after this new date cannot name councils, buildings, roads, or other facilities or entities after people who are still alive.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the new section will take effect the day following its final enactment. This legislative change aims to ensure that honors associated with naming laws are reserved for individuals who have passed away, thereby preventing the potential for favoritism or controversy surrounding living persons.
