The bill proposes an appropriation of $8,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Pollution Control Agency for the establishment of a regional household hazardous waste and recycling facility in Dakota County. This facility will serve both Dakota and Scott Counties, with the aim of enhancing waste processing capabilities for residents and businesses in the area. The funding will be allocated through a grant under the solid waste capital assistance grant program, and the facility will be designed, constructed, and equipped by a joint powers entity formed between the two counties.
To finance this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $8,000,000. The bond issuance will follow the guidelines set forth in Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
