Bill > HF212

This bill appropriates $33 million in state bond proceeds to the Public Facilities Authority to provide a grant to the city of Stillwater for water infrastructure improvements. Specifically, the funding will support the predesign, design, construction, and equipment of up to three water treatment plants and associated water mains, with the primary goal of removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the city's drinking water wells. PFAS are a group of manufactured 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 $33 million to fund the project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes. The bill would become effective immediately after final enactment, enabling the city of Stillwater to proceed with critical water treatment infrastructure upgrades aimed at improving drinking water safety.
