Length of terms modification for appointees to the Red Wing Port Authority

AI Generated Summary

Purpose

To update how long people appointed to the Red Wing Port Authority can serve, by changing the length of their terms.

Main provisions

  • The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024 section 469.081 subdivision 3a, particularly the terms of members of the Red Wing Port Authority.
  • It states that, notwithstanding (overriding) the authority of any enabling resolution or section 469.050 subdivision 4, the term length for an appointee to the Red Wing Port Authority for a term beginning on or after January 1, 2011 shall be “three six years.”
  • The change applies to terms that start on or after January 1, 2011.

Significant changes to existing law

  • Overrides conflicting provisions in local enabling resolutions or state law using a Notwithstanding clause.
  • Establishes a new term length for Red Wing Port Authority appointees starting with terms begun after January 1, 2011 (the exact wording implies six-year terms; the text uses the phrasing “three six years,” which appears to mean six-year terms).

Effective date and scope

  • Applies to terms beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
  • Limited to the Red Wing Port Authority, a local government entity in Minnesota.
