Bill > HF1314

This bill provides $10,000,000 in funding for the acquisition of private lands within existing state parks and recreation areas in Minnesota. The funds will be used to acquire land from willing sellers to either create new state parks or expand existing ones. The money will be raised through the sale of state bonds, which will be issued by the commissioner of management and budget in accordance with state law and constitutional provisions. The bonds will be sold up to the amount of $10,000,000, following standard procedures for state bond issuance outlined in Minnesota Statutes. The purpose of this legislation is to enable the expansion and development of state parks and recreation areas by providing a mechanism to purchase additional lands that can enhance these public spaces. The bill becomes effective immediately after it is enacted, allowing the state to begin the land acquisition process promptly.
