Bill > HF1079

This bill appropriates $3 million from the Minnesota state general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Public Facilities Authority, specifically designated as a grant for the city of South St. Paul to replace its drinking water infrastructure. The funding is intended to address ongoing issues with water pressure fluctuations and reduced water flow in the city. The appropriation comes with specific conditions: the money will only be released after the commissioner of management and budget confirms that sufficient additional funding has been committed to complete the project, as required by state financial regulations. The appropriation is considered a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until the water infrastructure project is either completed or officially abandoned, in accordance with state financial guidelines. The bill will take effect the day after it receives final legislative approval, enabling the city to proceed with its critical drinking water infrastructure replacement efforts.
