This legislative bill, H.F. No., authored by Hansen R., involves an appropriation of funds and the authorization of bond sales to support Washington County's wood waste and diseased tree utilization program. Here is the summary of key points:

1. Appropriation of Funds: The bill proposes an appropriation of $4,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of natural resources. These funds are designated for Washington County to acquire land for its wood waste and diseased tree utilization program.

2. Authorization for Bond Sale: To finance the appropriated funds, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $4,000,000. The sale and issuance of these bonds will comply with specific sections (16A.631 to 16A.675) of the Minnesota Statutes and the provisions outlined in the Minnesota Constitution (Article XI, Sections 4 to 7).

In essence, the bill seeks to allocate financial resources through bond sales to assist Washington County in addressing environmental concerns related to wood waste and diseased trees by facilitating land acquisition for the program.
