Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to capital investment; appropriating money for a trail segment of the Mesabi Trail; authorizing the sale and issuance of state bonds.

AI Summary

This bill provides $3,000,000 in state bond funding to the St. Louis and Lake Counties Regional Railroad Authority to relocate a segment of the Mesabi Trail, specifically to construct a new trail segment with a pedestrian bridge in the city of Mountain Iron. The relocation is necessitated by the permanent closure of County State-Aid Highway 102. The Commissioner of Management and Budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $3,000,000 to fund this project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota statutes and the state constitution. The bill's funding will support the trail segment's predesign, design, engineering, and construction phases, with the legislation becoming effective immediately after its final enactment. This appropriation appears to be part of ongoing efforts to develop and maintain the Mesabi Trail, a recreational trail located in northeastern Minnesota.
