Bill > SF3500

This bill appropriates $1,000,000 from the state's general fund to the Dakota County Community Development Agency in fiscal year 2026 specifically for the Expo 2031 host organization. The funding is intended to support various activities related to the expo, such as paying licensing fees for public-private partnerships, finalizing development planning, and reimbursing the agency's costs. The appropriation is contingent upon receiving approval from two international organizations: the International Association of Horticultural Producers and the Bureau International des Expositions. If the project does not receive approval, the funds will be transferred to the Minnesota investment fund. The bill allows the host organization and development agency to be reimbursed for expenses up to 90 days before encumbrance, and specifies that this is a one-time appropriation with any unspent funds remaining available for a second year instead of being canceled.
