This bill relates to transportation funding in Minnesota and amends a previous law to adjust financial transfers between various state accounts. Specifically, it addresses:

  1. Highway Funding: $152.65 million in fiscal year 2024 is allocated from the general fund to the trunk highway fund for federal grant matches and state highway investments.

  2. Active Transportation Funding: It modifies a previously established transfer of funds to the active transportation account. The bill specifies adjustments of $19.5 million in fiscal year 2024 and $19.215 million in fiscal year 2025, with projected base amounts of $8.155 million for fiscal year 2026 and $8.284 million for fiscal year 2027.
