Bill > SF1888

This bill appropriates $1,000,000 from state bond proceeds to the commissioner of commerce to provide grants for electric bus charging stations statewide. Specifically, the funding will support the acquisition and installation of Level 2 and Level 3 charging stations for electric school buses. The grants will be awarded to eligible applicants as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 216C.374, and will follow the guidelines of the existing electric school bus deployment program. To fund this initiative, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $1,000,000, following established state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill's provisions will take effect immediately after its final enactment, aiming to support the infrastructure needed for electric school bus adoption across Minnesota.
