The bill appropriates $25,000,000 from the general fund to the commissioner of transportation for the small cities assistance account for fiscal year 2025. This is a one-time appropriation intended to support small cities in Minnesota, with all funds required to be allocated and distributed in the July 2024 payment, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 162.145.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the effective date of this section will be the day following its final enactment. This ensures that the funding can be accessed promptly to assist small cities with their transportation needs.
