Counties allowed to designate agricultural lands as unsuitable for electric power facilities.

Summary

The bill lets Minnesota counties create an agricultural priority land list of parcels that are highly productive or classified as prime farmland. After a county submits the list to the Public Utilities Commission, the commission may not issue a site permit for a large electric power generating plant on those parcels unless the county board passes a resolution allowing it. Landowners are notified and may opt out of the list.
