Bill > HF446

This bill provides funding and authorizes bond issuance for wastewater infrastructure improvements in the unorganized Ash River area of St. Louis County, Minnesota. Specifically, the bill appropriates $7,000,000 from bond proceeds to the Public Facilities Authority to be granted to the Voyageurs National Park Clean Water Joint Powers Board for predesign, design, and construction of a wastewater collection and treatment system. The bill exempts this appropriation from certain standard state funding requirements. To finance the project, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $7,000,000, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota statutes and constitution. The bill becomes effective immediately after final enactment, allowing the local government to proceed quickly with critical wastewater infrastructure improvements in this rural, unorganized area near Voyageurs National Park.
