AI Summary
This bill repeals several unfunded programs administered by the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) and makes conforming changes to existing laws. Specifically, it removes provisions related to the "green economy" from grant and loan eligibility criteria, effectively ending programs that promoted businesses and projects focused on renewable energy, energy efficiency, greenhouse gas reduction, water quality, biofuels, and green chemistry. Additionally, it eliminates the Tourism Loan Program and the Minnesota Science and Technology Economic Development Project, as well as the Economic Response Team, which was a fast-action unit to assist businesses at risk of relocating or expanding outside the state. The bill also removes references to these repealed programs in other statutes, such as those governing the clean water revolving fund, ensuring that the laws accurately reflect the elimination of these specific initiatives.
