Bill > HF879

This bill provides $4 million in state bond funding for the Lakes Area Police Commission to construct a new regional training and public safety facility serving Lindstrom, Chisago City, and the surrounding area. The funding is contingent on the commission securing an equal amount of matching funds from non-state sources, and the bonds will be issued by the commissioner of management and budget in accordance with existing state bonding procedures. The Lakes Area Police Commission is a joint powers law enforcement agency created under Minnesota Statutes, which allows local government entities to collaborate on public safety initiatives. The bill specifies that the funds can be used for predesigning, designing, constructing, furnishing, and equipping the new facility, and it will become effective immediately after final enactment. This legislation represents a targeted capital investment to improve local law enforcement infrastructure and training capabilities in the Chisago County area.
