Bill > HF1725

This bill provides funding and authorization for constructing a new Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) regional office and laboratory facility in Mankato, Minnesota. Specifically, the bill appropriates $68,684,000 from the state bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of administration for the purpose of constructing, furnishing, and equipping this new facility. To finance this project, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the $68,684,000 amount, following the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill specifies that these bonds will be issued according to existing state financial regulations, ensuring proper oversight of the funding mechanism. The legislation becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, allowing for prompt initiation of the regional BCA office and laboratory project in Mankato. This new facility will likely enhance the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension's ability to provide critical forensic and investigative services in southern Minnesota.
