Bill > SF390

This bill establishes a state bond issue and appropriation for the Safe Routes to School grant program, allocating $10,000,000 from bond proceeds to the commissioner of transportation. The funds are specifically designated for grants under Minnesota Statutes, section 174.40, which likely supports infrastructure and safety improvements to help children walk or bike to school more safely. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the $10,000,000 amount, following the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes sections 16A.631 to 16A.675 and in accordance with the Minnesota Constitution's provisions on state bonding. The bonds will be sold according to standard state bonding practices, with the appropriation becoming effective immediately after the bill's final enactment. This legislation aims to provide financial resources to enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety for school children by funding infrastructure improvements like sidewalks, crosswalks, and other safety measures along routes to schools.
