Additionally, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $8,000,000 to provide the appropriated funds. The bond issuance will follow the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
