This bill appropriates $100 million from the state transportation fund's bond proceeds account to the Minnesota Department of Transportation for two purposes: (1) construction and reconstruction of local roads with statewide or regional significance, with priority given to projects that will expand the state's ten-ton road system, and (2) grants to assist counties with the costs of rural road safety capital improvement projects on county state-aid highways. The bill also appropriates $100 million from the same account to match federal money and replace or rehabilitate local deficient bridges. Additionally, the bill authorizes the Commissioner of Management and Budget to sell and issue up to $200 million in state bonds to provide the appropriated funds. The bill takes effect immediately upon final enactment.
