This bill, known as S.F. No. 1375, proposed by Senators Kupec and Rasmusson, focuses on environmental conservation efforts specifically targeting the Red River of the North watershed. It allocates a sum of $170,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the clean water fund. This funding is given to the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency, which in turn provides grants to the Red River Watershed Management Board. The purpose of these grants is to enhance and expand water quality testing and related environmental educational activities in schools within the watershed area. Additionally, the bill mandates that by February 15, 2028, the Red River Watershed Management Board must report back on how these funds were used and the outcomes achieved, to both the legislature and relevant environmental and natural resources committees.
