"Housekeeping" amendment necessary to address Federal Rule updates related to affordable housing

This amendment, in part, modifies the definition of "affordable housing units." This amendment is also essentially a “housekeeping” amendment.

This is an official notice as required under Minnesota Statute Chapter 394.26, Subd. 1.”
