A bill moving through the Minnesota House would dramatically increase the penalties for violation of the state buffer law. Failing to plant vegetation on land bordering water would rocket from $500 to $10,000. The Minnesota House Environment and Natural Resources Committee approved this bill on a party-line vote, and it will now move to the Judiciary Finance and Civil Law Committee. South St. Paul Representative Rick Hansen is the bill’s sponsor.
