Bill > HF1633

This bill provides funding for two specific capital improvement projects in Minnesota through state bond issuance. First, $12,000,000 is appropriated from bond proceeds to the commissioner of natural resources for improvements to state-owned public water access and boating facilities on public waters. Second, $17,800,000 is appropriated for improvements to state fish hatcheries, with up to $3,000,000 specifically allocated for planning, designing, and acquiring land for a replacement St. Paul fish hatchery facility. The new fish hatchery will be located in the seven-county metropolitan area and is intended to have research and educational capabilities. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds to provide the funding, following standard procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. Both sections of the bill become effective the day after final enactment, allowing for immediate implementation of these capital improvement projects aimed at enhancing public water recreation infrastructure and fish hatchery facilities.
