The bill appropriates a total of $400,000,000 from the bond proceeds account in the state transportation fund for local road and bridge improvements in Minnesota. Specifically, $200,000,000 is designated for the construction and reconstruction of local roads with statewide or regional significance, prioritizing projects that expand the state's ten-ton road system, as well as grants for rural road safety improvements on county state-aid highways. The second $200,000,000 is allocated for the replacement and rehabilitation of deficient local bridges, including costs associated with design-build contracts, land acquisition, and relocation expenses.

To fund these appropriations, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to $400,000,000, following the guidelines set forth in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The act will take effect the day after it is enacted.
