AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes the allocation of $8,500,000 from a fund derived from state bond sales to finance the construction and outfitting of a new regional public safety facility in the city of Rice Lake, Minnesota. This facility is intended to serve multiple purposes including training for law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency medical services, as well as functioning as an emergency operations center and a shelter in times of crisis. The bill also details that the necessary funds will be raised through the issuance of state bonds, which are a type of investment that the public can buy into, essentially lending money to the state which will be paid back over time.
