This bill appropriates a total of $29,800,000 from the bond proceeds fund for capital improvements related to public water access, boating facilities, and state fish hatcheries in Minnesota. Specifically, it allocates $12,000,000 for enhancements to state-owned public water access and boating facilities, with the commissioner of management and budget authorized to sell and issue bonds up to this amount. Additionally, the bill designates $17,800,000 for improvements at state-owned fish hatcheries, allowing for up to $3,000,000 of this amount to be used for planning, design, and land acquisition for a replacement facility for the St. Paul fish hatchery, which must be located in the seven-county metropolitan area and include research and education capabilities.

The bill includes provisions for the sale and issuance of state bonds to fund these appropriations, following the guidelines set forth in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. Both sections of the bill will take effect the day following final enactment.
