This bill modifies an existing appropriation for the MERIT center in the city of Marshall by amending the language in Laws 2023, chapter 71, article 1, section 9, subdivision 12. The amendment specifies that the grant to the city of Marshall will be used to design, construct, furnish, and equip a 50-yard and 300-yard firearms range along with firearms support buildings, replacing the previous language that referred to "improvements" and included a live-burn buildout structure.

Additionally, the bill includes a new effective date provision, stating that the changes will take effect the day following final enactment. This ensures that the updated appropriation and project specifications are implemented promptly after the bill is passed.
