The bill appropriates $500,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of natural resources for a grant to the city of Faribault. This funding is designated for site preparation and the design, construction, furnishing, and equipping of a new building at the River Bend Nature Center. The new facility will serve as an environmental multicultural visitors center, providing educational and exhibit facilities for the public, along with improvements to outdoor public spaces and trails.

To finance this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $500,000. The bond issuance will be conducted in accordance with existing Minnesota statutes and constitutional provisions. The effective date of this section is set for the day following its final enactment.
