The board shall evaluate the entities' progress in accomplishing their adopted plans on a regular basis as determined by the board based on budget and operations of the local water management entity, but not less than once every ten years. The board shall maintain a summary of local water management entity performance on the board's website. Beginning February 1, 2008, and annually thereafter, the board shall provide an analysis of local water management entity performance to the chairs of the house of representatives and senate committees having jurisdiction over environment and natural resources policy.

§ Subd. 4. Corrective actions. (a) In addition to other authorities, the Board of Water and Soil Resources may, based on its evaluation in subdivision 3, reduce, withhold, or redirect grants and other funding if the local water management entity has not corrected deficiencies as prescribed in a notice from the board within one year from the date of the notice.

(b) Failure to consent in a record as required by paragraph (a), before, on, or after the birth of the child does not preclude the court from finding consent to parentage if:

(1) the individual giving birth to a child or the intended parent proves by clear and convincing evidence the existence of an express agreement entered into before conception that the intended parent and the individual giving birth to the child intended that they both would be parents of the child; or

(2) the individual giving birth to a child and the intended parent for the first two years of the child's life, including any period of temporary absence, resided together in the same household with the child and both openly held out the child as the intended parent's child, unless the intended parent dies or becomes incapacitated before the child attains two years of age or the child dies before the child attains two years of age, in which case the court may find consent under this paragraph to parentage if a party proves by clear and convincing evidence that the individual giving birth to the child and the intended parent intended to reside together in the same household with the child and both intended that the intended parent would openly hold out the child as the intended parent's child, but the intended parent was prevented from carrying out that intent by death or incapacity.
