SF1174

The bill, titled S.F. No. 1174, that's being proposed in the Minnesota legislature, is about providing financial support for a water infrastructure project in the West Central region of Minnesota. Specifically, it involves a $9,700,000 allocation from the state's bond proceeds fund. This money is intended for the Public Facilities Authority to use in aiding Norman County, Clay County, and Polk County (individually or in any combination of these counties) to acquire land, design, and construct the necessary infrastructure for Phase 1 of the West Central Regional Water System. This phase includes a trunk transmission pipeline and other related infrastructure to distribute drinking water to cities within these counties.

Additionally, the bill authorizes the Minnesota Commissioner of Management and Budget to issue state bonds up to the amount of $9,700,000 to finance this appropriation. The process for issuing these bonds will follow specific statutes and constitutional provisions related to state debt.

In summary, the bill is aimed at improving water infrastructure in parts of Minnesota, funded by state-issued bonds.
