Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to capital investment; appropriating money for a nonsecure juvenile detention facility in Clay County; authorizing the sale and issuance of state bonds.

AI Summary

This bill provides funding and authorization for Clay County to construct a new nonsecure juvenile detention facility in Moorhead, Minnesota. Specifically, the bill appropriates $25,737,000 from state bond proceeds to the commissioner of public safety, which will be used to design, construct, furnish, and equip the facility. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the appropriated amount to finance the project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes sections 16A.631 to 16A.675 and the Minnesota Constitution. A nonsecure juvenile detention facility is typically a residential placement for youth who are awaiting court proceedings or have been sentenced, but do not require the high-security restrictions of a traditional juvenile detention center. The bill will become effective the day after it receives final legislative approval, enabling Clay County to move forward with establishing this new facility for juvenile justice services.
