Bill > SF4051

This bill amends existing law to ensure that when a local government or a Minnesota Tribal government owns a utility system (like for water, sewer, or electricity) that needs to be moved because of trunk highway construction, the cost of that relocation will be paid for by the trunk highway fund. Previously, this fund was primarily for relocating utility facilities owned by private utility companies, with reimbursement limits tied to federal funding for interstate highways. This change specifically addresses situations where local governments or tribal governments own these utility systems and their relocation is required by trunk highway projects, ensuring their costs are covered without the same federal reimbursement limitations.
