AI Generated Summary
Purpose
This bill modifies an existing capital investment appropriation to provide a grant to CornerHouse to acquire property for a new facility in Hennepin County. It designates the amount of 2,750,000 dollars for this purpose and changes when the funds can be used, extending the availability date to December 31, 2029. It also specifies that this availability is allowed despite the usual rules in Minnesota Statutes.
Main Provisions
- Designates a grant to CornerHouse for the purpose of acquiring property for a new facility in Hennepin County.
- Sets the appropriation amount at 2,750,000 dollars.
- Updates the statutory designation by amending Laws 2023, chapter 71, article 1, section 14, subdivision 54 to subdivision 54.CornerHouse.
- Extends the period during which the appropriation is available to use through December 31, 2029.
- Includes a "Notwithstanding" clause that allows this extended availability to supersede Minnesota Statutes section 16A.642 for this project.
Significance and Changes to Law
- Redirects and explicitly earmarks funds for CornerHouse to acquire property for a new facility, tying the funds to a specific project and recipient.
- Extends the funding availability window to December 31, 2029, providing more time to complete the property acquisition.
- Uses a specific statutory labeling (Subdivision 54.CornerHouse) to identify the grant within the existing capital investment framework.
- Applies a statutory override (Notwithstanding 16A.642) to ensure the extended availability date governs this appropriation.
Practical Impact
- CornerHouse has a dedicated, projected funding source of 2,750,000 dollars for acquiring property for a new facility in a defined geographic area (Hennepin County).
- Government funding for this project is not bound by the usual end date of availability due to the override.
What it does not do
- It does not create a new program or broaden the overall capital investment program beyond this targeted grant.
- It does not change other terms of the original appropriation beyond the recipient, purpose, amount, and availability date.
