The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 10.49, to prohibit the naming of laws enacted on or after July 1, 2025, after living individuals. This change aims to ensure that councils, buildings, roads, and other facilities or entities are not named in honor of people who are still alive, thereby avoiding potential controversies or conflicts of interest associated with such honors.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the new section will take effect the day following its final enactment. This ensures that the prohibition on naming laws after living individuals will be implemented promptly once the bill is passed.
