Counties permission to designate certain agricultural lands as unsuitable for electric power facilities

Summary

The bill lets Minnesota counties create an "agricultural priority land" list of parcels that meet specific productivity criteria. Once listed, the Public Utilities Commission cannot issue site permits for large electric power generating plants on those parcels unless the county board gives consent. Landowners are notified and may opt out of the list.
