Bill > SF2622

This bill appropriates $5 million in state bond proceeds to the Minnesota Department of Transportation to provide a grant to the city of Minneapolis specifically for constructing ADA-accessible facilities in public right-of-way areas, with a focus on pedestrian curb ramp upgrades. The funding is contingent upon the commissioner of management and budget verifying that sufficient non-state resources have been committed to complete the project. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to $5 million to fund this initiative, following established state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements are aimed at ensuring public infrastructure is accessible to people with disabilities, and in this case, the bill specifically targets pedestrian infrastructure improvements in Minneapolis to meet these federal accessibility standards. The bill will become effective the day after it is formally enacted.
