Bill > SF1011

This bill provides $1,550,000 in state bond funding to the city of Oak Park Heights specifically for designing and engineering improvements to municipal water infrastructure to address PFAS contamination. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of human-made chemicals widely used in industrial and consumer products that have been linked to potential health risks, and which can contaminate drinking water. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds to fund this project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota statutes and the state constitution. The funding is intended to support the technical planning phase for upgrading water treatment facilities to remove PFAS from the city's drinking water, with the bill becoming effective immediately after it is enacted. This represents a targeted infrastructure investment aimed at improving water quality and public health in the specific community of Oak Park Heights.
