Bill > HF1992

This bill appropriates $300,000 total ($150,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the clean water fund to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The funds are specifically designated as grants to Friends of the Minnesota Valley to support and expand river watch programs in two Minnesota watersheds: the Minnesota River basin and the Cannon River basin. These river watch activities focus on water-quality and watershed monitoring in local schools, with the organization Clean River Partners also involved in the Cannon River basin program. As part of the funding requirement, Friends of the Minnesota Valley must submit a comprehensive report to the commissioner and relevant legislative committees by February 15, 2027, detailing how the appropriated funds were spent. The bill aims to enhance environmental education and monitoring efforts in these specific river basin regions.
