Bill > HF1776

This bill provides funding for capital improvements to make public right-of-way facilities in Minneapolis more accessible for people with disabilities, specifically focusing on pedestrian curb ramp upgrades. The bill appropriates $5,000,000 from bond proceeds to the Minnesota commissioner of transportation, designated as a grant to the city of Minneapolis for constructing ADA-accessible (Americans with Disabilities Act) facilities in public spaces. The funds will be made available only after the commissioner of management and budget confirms that sufficient non-state resources have been committed to complete the project. To finance this appropriation, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $5,000,000, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, enabling the city to proceed with necessary infrastructure improvements to enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
