AI Summary

This bill appropriates funding from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to provide a grant to Rice County specifically for water quality improvement efforts at French Lake. The bill allows Rice County to use the grant money flexibly, including for contracting water quality services, conducting testing, building necessary infrastructure, providing training, and performing maintenance. Additionally, the bill extends the availability of a previous water quality improvement grant for French Lake (originally authorized in 2023) until June 30, 2027, giving the county more time to implement water quality enhancement projects. The bill aims to support local environmental efforts by providing financial resources and additional time for Rice County to address water quality concerns in the French Lake area.
