Bill > SF139

This bill appropriates $8,500,000 from state bond proceeds to the commissioner of public safety for the city of Rice Lake to develop a regional public safety facility. The facility is intended to serve multiple critical community functions, including providing training spaces for law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency medical services, as well as offering emergency operations capabilities, emergency shelter, and addressing other regional community needs. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds to fund the project, with the bonding process to follow standard state procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes. The bill is exempt from certain standard bonding requirements and will take effect the day after it is enacted. The proposed facility appears designed to enhance regional public safety infrastructure and emergency response capabilities by creating a multi-purpose facility that can support various first responder and community emergency needs.
