This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 477A.23, subdivision 6, to increase the appropriation for soil and water conservation district aid. The previous appropriation of $15,000,000 for aids payable in 2023 and 2024 is deleted, and a new annual appropriation of $16,000,000 is established for aids payable in 2026 and thereafter. This change aims to enhance funding for local government aids related to soil and water conservation efforts.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the new appropriation will be effective for aids payable starting in 2026. This adjustment reflects a commitment to increasing support for conservation districts, ensuring they have the necessary resources to fulfill their responsibilities in environmental stewardship.
