Bill > SF522

This bill appropriates $1,950,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, specifically designating the funds as a grant to the Minnesota Forest Zone Trappers Association. The purpose of the grant is to support the development of a Sportsman's and Sportswoman's Outdoor Development Learning Center located in Hibbing, Minnesota. The funding can be used for a range of project-related activities including land acquisition, predesign, design, engineering, site preparation, grading, finishing, and site features. The appropriation is considered a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with standard state financial guidelines (Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642). The bill specifies that it becomes effective the day after it is officially enacted, providing immediate authorization for the grant and project development.
