The bill proposes an appropriation of $10,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of natural resources for the acquisition of private lands from willing sellers within state parks and recreation areas in Minnesota. This funding aims to facilitate the creation of new state parks or the expansion of existing ones, as outlined in the newly inserted legal language.
Additionally, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the same amount to provide the necessary funds for these acquisitions. The provisions for the bond sale are to be conducted in accordance with existing Minnesota statutes and constitutional guidelines. The effective date for this section is set for the day following its final enactment.
