Bill > SF1089

This bill increases the annual appropriation for soil and water conservation district aid from $12,000,000 to $20,000,000, beginning with aids payable in 2025. Soil and water conservation districts are local government entities that work to manage and protect natural resources, particularly soil and water quality. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes by modifying the funding allocation for these districts, specifically increasing the amount of money the state will provide annually from the general fund to the commissioner of revenue to distribute as aid. This increased funding could potentially support more extensive conservation efforts, infrastructure improvements, or expanded programs in local soil and water conservation districts across Minnesota. The effective date is explicitly stated as applying to aids payable in 2025 and subsequent years, ensuring clarity about when the new funding level will take effect.
