  1.1                          A bill for an act 
  1.2             relating to Hennepin county; clarifying the authority 
  1.3             of the county housing and redevelopment authority; 
  1.4             amending Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 383B.77, 
  1.5             subdivisions 1 and 2. 
  1.6   BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
  1.7      Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 383B.77, 
  1.8   subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
  1.9      Subdivision 1.  [CREATION.] The Hennepin county housing and 
  1.10  redevelopment authority is created in the county of Hennepin.  
  1.11  It shall have all of the powers and duties of a housing and 
  1.12  redevelopment authority under sections 469.001 to 469.047.  For 
  1.13  the purposes of applying the municipal housing and redevelopment 
  1.14  act to Hennepin county, the county has all of the powers and 
  1.15  duties of a city, the county board has all the powers and duties 
  1.16  of a governing body, the chair of the county board has all of 
  1.17  the powers and duties of a mayor, and, notwithstanding section 
  1.18  469.008, the area of operation includes the area within the 
  1.19  territorial boundaries of the county. 
  1.20     Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 383B.77, 
  1.21  subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
  1.22     Subd. 2.  [LIMITATION.] This section does not limit or 
  1.23  restrict any existing housing and redevelopment authority or 
  1.24  prevent a municipality from creating an authority.  For purposes 
  1.25  of this subdivision, "housing and redevelopment authority" 
  2.1   includes any municipal department, agency, or authority of the 
  2.2   city of Minneapolis which exercises the powers of a housing and 
  2.3   redevelopment authority pursuant to section 469.003 or other 
  2.4   law.  The county authority shall notify a municipal authority by 
  2.5   January 31 of each year as to the activities the county 
  2.6   authority plans to participate in within the municipality.  The 
  2.7   municipal authority shall notify the county authority within 45 
  2.8   days of the date of the notice from the county authority, if the 
  2.9   municipal authority does not consent to the activities of the 
  2.10  county authority.  The county authority shall not exercise its 
  2.11  powers in a municipality where a housing and redevelopment 
  2.12  authority was created under Minnesota Statutes 1969, chapter 
  2.13  462, before June 8, 1971, except as provided in this 
  2.14  subdivision.  If a city housing and redevelopment authority 
  2.15  requests the county housing and redevelopment authority to 
  2.16  exercise any power or perform any function of the municipal 
  2.17  authority, the county authority may do so. 
  2.18     Sec. 3.  [NO LOCAL APPROVAL REQUIRED.] 
  2.19     Because the population of Hennepin county is more than 
  2.20  1,000,000 people, under Minnesota Statutes, section 645.023, 
  2.21  this act is effective without local approval.
