The bill proposes an appropriation of $6,000,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2024, specifically allocated for the development of a project to expand a segment of U.S. Highway 169 from a two-lane to a four-lane divided highway between Taconite and Pengilly. This funding will cover various stages of the project, including planning, predesign, design, engineering, and environmental analysis and remediation.

The appropriation is designated as a one-time funding source and will remain available until June 30, 2027, allowing sufficient time for the completion of the necessary project development activities.
