Bill > HF1555

This bill appropriates $1,500,000 from state bond proceeds to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for improvements to the Gitchi-Gami State Trail, a designated state trail located along Minnesota's North Shore. The funding will specifically support accessibility and rehabilitation projects, including improvements at the Flood Bay State Wayside and additional enhancements between Gooseberry Falls State Park and Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. To finance these improvements, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the appropriated amount, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota statutes and the state constitution. The bill's provisions will take effect immediately after final enactment, allowing for prompt implementation of the trail improvements. This type of legislative action is typical of state infrastructure and parks investment efforts, aimed at maintaining and enhancing public recreational assets.
