This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to enhance the efficiency of reporting requirements related to natural resources. Specifically, it modifies the responsibilities of the commissioner of natural resources by requiring the maintenance of a publicly available inventory of department-administered lands, which must be updated by January 15 of each even-numbered year. The inventory will include detailed information about various state lands, such as state parks, forests, and wildlife management areas, as well as any lands acquired or conveyed out of department ownership during the previous biennium.

Additionally, the bill changes the frequency of the annual report on the production of planting stock at state nurseries from annual to biennial. The report must now include sales figures, income figures, and expenses for operations and administration, and copies must be filed with the Legislative Reference Library for public access. These changes aim to streamline reporting processes and improve the management of Minnesota's natural resources.
