April

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
