Bill > SF2719

This bill provides a $4,000,000 state appropriation to Washington County for a wood waste and diseased tree utilization program, specifically to support land acquisition related to the program. The funding will come from state bond proceeds, which the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to issue in an amount up to $4,000,000. The bonds will be sold according to existing state statutes governing bond issuance (Minnesota Statutes, sections 16A.631 to 16A.675) and in compliance with the Minnesota Constitution's provisions related to state bonding. The bill is designed to provide financial support for Washington County's efforts to manage wood waste and address diseased trees, with the appropriation and bond issuance becoming effective immediately after the bill's final enactment. This type of legislation is typical of state-level capital investment acts that provide targeted funding for specific local environmental or infrastructure projects.
