SF1358

Senate Bill S.F. No. 1358 is a legislative proposal requesting funding for flood hazard mitigation in the Rice Creek Watershed District of Minnesota. This bill proposes to allocate $7,000,000 from the state's bond proceeds fund. These funds are to be used to create and enhance water storage and treatment basins along with improving water conveyance systems within the marked Interstate Highway 35W corridor, specifically targeting the cities of New Brighton, St. Anthony Village, and Roseville to reduce flooding risks. To facilitate this financing, the bill authorizes the Minnesota Commissioner of Management and Budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount specified.
