Bill > SF550

This bill appropriates $16,600,000 from state bond proceeds to the Public Facilities Authority to provide a grant to the city of Hastings for water infrastructure improvements. Specifically, the funding will be used to predesign, design, construct, and equip three water treatment plants and associated water mains with the goal of removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from city wells. PFAS are a group of human-made chemicals known for their potential health risks and persistence in the environment. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the $16,600,000 amount, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill will take effect the day after it receives final legislative approval, enabling the city of Hastings to proceed with its water treatment plant upgrades aimed at improving water quality and removing potentially harmful chemical contaminants.
