Bill > HF1023

This bill appropriates $153 million from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Department of Transportation in fiscal year 2025 to provide matching funds for federal infrastructure grants under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The IIJA is a significant federal infrastructure legislation passed in 2021 that provides substantial funding for transportation and infrastructure projects across the United States. The bill specifies that this appropriation is subject to requirements outlined in a previous law (Laws 2023, chapter 68, article 4, section 111), and the funds are designated as a one-time appropriation that will be available until June 30, 2029. The purpose of this appropriation is to ensure that Minnesota can fully participate in and benefit from federal discretionary grant programs by providing the required state matching funds, which are often necessary to secure federal infrastructure grants. The bill will take effect the day after it is officially enacted.
