Bill > SF136

This bill appropriates $1,000,000 from state bond proceeds to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to provide a grant to Koochiching County specifically for capital improvements to the Blue Ox all-terrain vehicle (ATV) trail systems. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $1,000,000 to fund this project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. Notably, this appropriation is exempt from certain standard bonding requirements, which suggests a streamlined approval process. The purpose of the bill is to support infrastructure improvements for ATV trails in Koochiching County, a rural area in northern Minnesota, potentially enhancing local recreational opportunities and tourism. The bill becomes effective immediately after it is enacted into law.
