SF2187

Purpose

• The bill provides funding to support the county feedlot program by appropriating money from the General Fund to the Pollution Control Agency (PCA). The goal is to fund grants to delegated counties so they can administer the county feedlot program.

Main Provisions

• Funding amounts: $2,950,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $2,950,000 in fiscal year 2027.
• Source: General Fund.
• Recipient and use: Grants to the Commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency to pass through to delegated counties to administer the county feedlot program.
• Legal basis: The program is administered under Minnesota Statutes section 116.0711, subdivisions 2 and 3.
• Timing/availability: Money that remains unspent after the first year is available in the second year (carryover).

Relationship to Existing Law and Changes

• This is an appropriations measure that funds the existing county feedlot program rather than creating new program requirements. It specifies two-year funding and a carryover provision, increasing or sustaining financial support for the program without changing the statutory structure beyond the appropriation.

Implementation and Oversight

• Administered by the Pollution Control Agency, which will allocate grants to delegated counties to run the county feedlot program as authorized by statute.

Effective Date

• Not specified in the provided excerpt.
