Bill > SF2107

This bill appropriates $1.5 million from the state's general fund to the Metropolitan Council in fiscal year 2026 specifically for grants aimed at managing aquatic invasive species within the Metropolitan Council's regional parks system. The funding can be used for a range of activities including prevention, containment, control, and enforcement efforts to reduce the spread of invasive aquatic species. The appropriated money will be available for use until June 30, 2027, providing implementing agencies with flexibility in how and when they deploy the grants to address aquatic invasive species challenges. Aquatic invasive species are non-native organisms that can harm local ecosystems, and this bill represents a targeted effort to mitigate their impact in the metropolitan regional parks system.
