AI Summary

This bill appropriates $36,500,000 from state bond proceeds to fund a regional public safety facility in Winona, Minnesota. The funding will be used to acquire land and construct a new center that will collocate police, fire, and sheriff departments, and potentially serve local ambulance departments as well. The commissioner of public safety will receive the grant to manage the project, and the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the $36,500,000 amount to finance the facility. The bonds will be issued according to existing state statutes and constitutional guidelines for bond issuance. The bill becomes effective immediately after it is enacted, allowing the city of Winona to proceed with the regional public safety facility project. This type of collaborative public safety center is designed to improve emergency services coordination and potentially reduce operational costs by sharing a single facility among multiple local public safety agencies.
