Bill > SF3344

This bill modifies an existing appropriation for the Heartland State Trail by making several key changes. The original appropriation of $2,950,000 maintains its two primary purposes: $550,000 for constructing a trail segment between Detroit Lakes and Frazee, and $2,400,000 for environmental review, design, and construction of a trail connecting Itasca State Park to the Heartland State Trail. The bill adds a new provision that allows any unspent funds from the Detroit Lakes to Frazee trail segment to be redirected, after providing written notice to the budget commissioner, toward environmental review, engineering, and design of additional trail segments. These additional segments include the route from the west Becker County line to Detroit Lakes, from Park Rapids to Osage, and from Osage to Frazee. The bill emphasizes that these modifications are supplemental to previous trail-related appropriations from 2017 and 2020, and will become effective immediately after final enactment. The changes aim to provide flexibility in trail development and allow for potential future expansions of the Heartland State Trail.
