          housing and redevelopment authority; applying the 
          municipal housing and redevelopment act to Hennepin 
          county; providing for local approval of projects;

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
    Section 1.  [383B.77] [HENNEPIN COUNTY HOUSING AND 
REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [CREATION.] The Hennepin county housing and 
redevelopment authority is created in the county of Hennepin.  
It shall have all of the powers and duties of a housing and 
redevelopment authority under the municipal housing and 
redevelopment act, sections 462.411 to 462.716.  For the 
purposes of applying the municipal housing and redevelopment act 
to Hennepin county, the county has all of the powers and duties 
of a municipality, the county board has all the powers and 
duties of a governing body, the chair of the county board has 
all of the powers and duties of a mayor, and the area of 
operation includes the area within the territorial boundaries of 
the county. 
    Subd. 2.  [LIMITATION.] This section does not limit or 
restrict any existing housing and redevelopment authority or 
prevent a municipality from creating an authority.  For purposes 
of this subdivision, "municipal housing and redevelopment 
authority" includes any municipal department, agency, or 
authority of the city of Minneapolis which exercises the powers 
of a municipal housing and redevelopment authority pursuant to 
section 462.425 or other law.  The county authority shall not 
exercise its powers in a municipality where a municipal housing 
and redevelopment authority is established pursuant to section 
462.425, except as provided in this subdivision.  If a municipal 
housing and redevelopment authority requests the county housing 
and redevelopment authority to exercise any power or perform any 
function of the municipal authority, the county authority may do 
so. 
    Subd. 3.  [LOCAL APPROVAL.] If a housing or redevelopment 
project is undertaken in Hennepin county pursuant to this 
section, the governing body of the city must approve the project 
before it is undertaken. 
    Sec. 2.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
    This act is effective the day after compliance with 
Minnesota Statutes, section 645.021, subdivision 3, by the 
Hennepin county board.
