SF113

The legislative bill SF No 113 is aimed at supporting special education in Minnesota by providing financial resources for building and enhancing facilities. Specifically, the bill proposes an appropriation of $6,500,000 to the Northern Lights Special Education Cooperative. This funding will be used to predesign, design, construct, renovate, furnish, and equip an education learning center dedicated to students with autism, cognitive disabilities, emotional and behavioral disorders, and other specific educational needs. Importantly, the learning center will also include facilities for a Level IV setting regional special education program.

To finance this appropriation, the bill authorizes the sale and issuance of state bonds. The terms, manner, and effects of the bond sale are governed by specified sections of the Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution.

In summary, this bill focuses on enhancing educational infrastructure for special education through state-funded capital investment, facilitated by the issuing of bonds.
