AI Summary

This bill provides $7,000,000 in state bond funding for the city of Blue Earth to construct a reverse osmosis water filtration plant. Reverse osmosis is a water purification technology that removes contaminants by using pressure to force water through a semipermeable membrane, effectively filtering out impurities. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds to finance the project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The funding is specifically designated as a grant to the Public Facilities Authority, which will then transfer the funds to the city of Blue Earth for the water filtration plant construction. The bill becomes effective immediately after it is enacted, providing a direct mechanism for the city to receive funds and proceed with the water infrastructure improvement project.
