HF907

This bill, designated as H. F. No. and authored by Kresha, allocates $2,000,000 in fiscal year 2026 from Minnesota's general fund to support the Camp Ripley-Veterans State Trail. The money is directed to the commissioner of natural resources and will fund a feasibility study, engineering, and construction for three specific segments of the trail. These segments include:

1. From Little Falls to the Camp Ripley Military Museum.
2. From Blanchard Dam in Morrison County to Lindbergh State Park.
3. From the Paul Bunyan Trail in Baxter to Pillager.

The funding is a one-time appropriation and will remain available until the project is completed or abandoned, as stipulated by Minnesota Statutes section 16A.642. The bill was initially read and subsequently referred to the Committee on Capital Investment for further deliberation.
