Bill > SF2514

This bill appropriates $240 million from Minnesota's general fund to the Public Facilities Authority (PFA) specifically for lead service line replacement grants in fiscal year 2026. The funding is designated as a one-time appropriation and will remain available until June 30, 2033. Lead service lines are underground pipes that connect water mains to individual buildings and historically were made of lead, which can pose serious health risks if the pipes corrode and contaminate drinking water. By providing these grants, the bill aims to help communities replace aging lead service lines with safer materials, protecting public health by reducing potential lead exposure in drinking water systems. The appropriation will be administered through an existing statutory mechanism (Minnesota Statutes, section 446A.077) that governs how these infrastructure improvement grants are distributed.
