PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS

 

 

STATE OF MINNESOTA

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR

SAINT PAUL 55155

 

April 29, 2004

 

The Honorable Steve Sviggum

Speaker of the House of Representatives

The State of Minnesota

 

Dear Speaker Sviggum:

 

I have vetoed and am returning to you H. F. No. 1861, Chapter No. 168, a bill that expands the limited liability for certain private land owners who grant written or oral permission for individuals to use their property for certain recreational purposes. The bill expands recreational purposes to include rock climbing and cave exploration.

 

Under current law, an owner who gives written or oral permission to use land for defined "recreational purposes" without charge has essentially the same duty to users as would apply to trespassers. While I agree with this goal, I am concerned about the unintended consequences of this legislation. The recent deaths of the teenagers in St. Paul illustrate the potential extreme danger of these recreational activities.

 

I am concerned that this legislation would encourage land owners to become less vigilant about the posting of dangerous property signs and would cease to limit potentially dangerous activities on private land.

 

Although the dangers may not be as risky for persons who have significant knowledge, such as the members of the Minnesota Speleological Survey organization (the group promoting this bill), given the recent tragedy, we need to know more about the inherent dangers of this activity before the state takes an affirmative action to limit liability for the purpose of encouraging recreational activity.

 

At this time, I believe the limited liability should not be expanded for rock climbing and cave exploration.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Tim Pawlenty

Governor

The Honorable Steve Sviggum

Speaker of the House of Representatives

The State of Minnesota

 

Dear Speaker Sviggum:

 

It is my honor to inform you that I have received, signed and deposited in the Office of the Secretary of State, H. F. No. 2255, Chapter No. 271. I have exercised line item vetoes on the items of appropriation contained on page 2, Section 2, Subdivision 1, lines 17‑22 and on page 2, Section 2, Subdivision 1, lines 23-32 of H. F. No. 2255, Chapter No. 271.

 

Section 2, Subdivision 1, lines 17-22 appropriated $27,000 from the general fund to provide for full and final settlement of Linda and Judy Bode's claims against the state. Section 2, Subdivision 1, lines 23-32 is dependant upon the appropriation of money.

 

I do not believe this appropriation is in the best interests of the State of Minnesota. The language making the appropriation provides that the appropriation is for the purpose of obtaining "full and final settlement" of the Bode's claims against the state. However, the additional language in Section 2, Subdivision 1 makes it clear that the payment of money envisioned by the appropriation requires the state to initiate an administrative hearing to once again reconsider the status of land currently designated as a public wetland.

 

The legal claims regarding the designation of the Bode's land as a public wetland are final court orders. Allowing one claimant a special privilege to circumvent the results of final court decisions sets a dangerous precedent. More legal proceedings on this issue and more attempts to declassify this land as a public wetland is not a "full and final settlement" which is the stated purpose of the appropriation. Moreover, the legislature failed to appropriate any funds to cover the costs of the administrative hearing.

 

The Department of Natural Resources remains committed to work with the Bodes on acquiring an easement or other agreeable restoration strategies.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Tim Pawlenty

Governor
