This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 477A.23, subdivision 6, to increase the annual appropriation for soil and water conservation district aid from $12,000,000 to $20,000,000. The previous appropriation of $15,000,000 for aids payable in 2023 and 2024 has been deleted, reflecting a significant increase in funding aimed at supporting local government aids for soil and water conservation efforts.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the new appropriation of $20,000,000 will be effective for aids payable in 2025 and thereafter. This change underscores the state's commitment to enhancing financial support for conservation districts, which play a crucial role in managing and protecting Minnesota's natural resources.
