Next week MACLC is holding their Annual Meeting in St. Paul, which coincides with the beginning of the Legislative Session...Why?

Politics, changes in laws, new bills being passed all can have an affect on County Land Commissioners. Procedures, protocols, funding and limitations are just a few examples. Can you think of areas and reasons why MACLC would need to stay abreast of legislative changes?
