The bill proposes a comprehensive supplemental budget for the Department of Transportation, Department of Public Safety, and the Metropolitan Council, focusing on enhancing transportation infrastructure, public safety, and community development initiatives. Key provisions include significant appropriations such as $20 million for trunk highway construction and $10 million for trunk highway bridge improvements, both available until June 30, 2028. The bill also establishes an Antidisplacement Community Prosperity Program to support affordable housing and small businesses along the Blue Line light rail extension corridor. Additionally, it introduces new regulations for traffic safety camera systems, electric-assisted bicycles, and mandates studies on various transportation-related issues, including greenhouse gas emissions and commercial driver shortages.
Furthermore, the bill amends existing statutes to clarify definitions and requirements related to transportation and public safety, including the establishment of a technical advisory committee for impact assessments and a transportation impact assessment and mitigation account. It also introduces provisions for the licensing and regulation of combatants in combative sports, updates labor practices related to public employees, and enhances housing support for vulnerable populations. The legislation aims to improve accountability, transparency, and safety in transportation planning and funding while addressing critical housing and labor issues in Minnesota.
