The bill proposes an appropriation of $16,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of public safety for the purpose of designing, constructing, furnishing, and equipping a juvenile corrections facility in Ramsey County. This facility will involve the renovation of unoccupied space within the existing Ramsey County Correctional Facility to create a separate institution for juvenile detention, which may also include an addition to the current facility.

To fund this project, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $16,000,000, following the guidelines set forth in Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution. The effective date of this section will be the day after the bill is enacted.
