Bill > HF1192

This bill provides $16,600,000 in state bond funding to the city of Hastings for a specific water treatment plant project. The appropriation will support the predesign, design, construction, and equipment of the Eastern Water Treatment Plant, with a focus on removing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) - a group of potentially harmful synthetic chemicals - and nitrates from the city's drinking water. The bill also includes provisions to interconnect the plant with the Minnesota Veterans Home. To fund this project, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the $16,600,000 amount, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota statutes and constitutional guidelines. The bill becomes effective immediately after it is enacted, allowing the city to proceed with the water treatment plant improvements aimed at ensuring safe and clean drinking water for local residents.
