LCCMR Funding Sources

The LCCMR makes funding recommendations to the legislature for appropriations from three sources:

• Minnesota's Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF) (M.S. 116P)
• Great Lakes Protection Account (GLPA) (M.S. 116 Q.02)
• Oil Overcharge (OOC) (Section 4.071, subdivision 2)

Note: Prior to July 1, 2003 what was then called the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCMR) also made funding recommendations from one other source:

• 1963-2003: Minnesota Future Resources Fund (MFRF) (M.S. 116P.13). On July 1, 2003 this responsibility was repealed and the money was redirected to the General Fund.
