Bill > SF935

This bill authorizes the state of Minnesota to issue bonds to fund two specific capital improvement projects: public water access and boating facilities, and state fish hatcheries. For public water access and boating facilities, the bill appropriates $12 million from bond proceeds to the commissioner of natural resources to improve state-owned public water access points and boating facilities. For state fish hatcheries, the bill appropriates $17.8 million, with up to $3 million designated for planning, design, and land acquisition for a replacement fish hatchery facility in the seven-county metropolitan area. The new hatchery is specifically required to have research and education capabilities. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds to fund these projects, following established state procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. Both sections of the bill will take effect the day after final enactment, providing immediate authorization for these capital improvements to enhance public water recreation infrastructure and fish hatchery capabilities.
