Bill > HF267

This bill requires the Minnesota Department of Transportation to submit a comprehensive report on cultural resources expenditures related to trunk highway construction projects by January 31, 2026. The report must cover fiscal years 2020 to 2027 and include detailed information such as an overview of cultural resources expenditures, total expenditure amounts for each fiscal year, a comparison of budgeted versus actual expenses for closed fiscal years, and a breakdown of cultural resources expenditures for major highway projects. The report must specifically itemize costs related to historic properties, archaeological resources, burial grounds, and human remains. Cultural resources expenditures are defined as specific project-related spending associated with historic preservation, archaeological resources, or other cultural resources. The bill also includes a one-time appropriation from the trunk highway fund to support the preparation of this report, and the report will be submitted to the chairs and ranking minority members of legislative committees with jurisdiction over transportation policy and finance.
