HF204

This legislative bill, proposed by representatives Feist and Moller, involves a financial action to address flood issues in Minnesota. It seeks to allocate $7,000,000 from the state's bond proceeds fund to the Rice Creek Watershed District. This funding is intended for projects in the Interstate Highway 35W corridor to construct water storage and treatment basins and improve water conveyance systems. These enhancements are planned to reduce flooding in the cities of New Brighton, St. Anthony Village, and Roseville. To generate these funds, the bill authorizes the sale and issuance of state bonds as outlined by specific Minnesota statutes and constitutional provisions.
