History:
The Northeast Minnesota Economic Development Fund Technical Advisory Committee was reviewed by the Legislative Commission on Planning and Fiscal Policy (LCPFP) in 2013 as part of their biennial duty required by Minn. Stat. 3.885 Subd. 11. The LCPFP's 2013 Recommendations called for keeping the committee, but advised the IRRRB to consider whether it would recommend statutory changes to combine this committee with the Douglas J. Johnson Economic Protection Trust Fund Technical Advisory Committee, since they currently meet as one group.
