Bill > SF2187

This bill appropriates $2,950,000 to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund, specifically to provide grants to county governments for administering the county feedlot program. The county feedlot program, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes section 116.0711, involves local oversight and management of agricultural feedlots, which are facilities where livestock are confined and fed for a total of 45 days or more in a 12-month period. The bill allows any unspent money from the first fiscal year to be carried over and used in the second fiscal year, providing flexibility in funding. By providing dedicated funding to counties, the bill aims to support local efforts to regulate and monitor agricultural feedlots, which can have environmental implications such as managing animal waste, preventing water pollution, and ensuring proper land use.
