A technical change to the Explore Minnesota Tourism Council was approved 130-0 by the House March 23.
Sponsored by Rep. Bud Nornes (R-Fergus Falls),
HF3143 would remove the reference of “four” from the tourism marketing regions of the state that have representatives on the council.
John Edman, director of Explore Minnesota Tourism, said the change is merely a housekeeping bill. When the council was created it had four regions; it now has five.
The bill now awaits action by the full Senate. Sen. Mary Olson (DFL-Bemidji) is the sponsor.
