This bill appropriates a total of $13,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund for the establishment of education learning centers for two special education cooperatives in Minnesota: Northern Lights Special Education Cooperative No. 6096-52 and Area Special Education Cooperative No. 997. Each cooperative is allocated $6,500,000 to predesign, design, construct, renovate, furnish, and equip facilities that will support regional educational programs for students with autism, cognitive disabilities, emotional and behavioral disorders, and other specific educational needs. The bill specifies that these appropriations do not require a nonstate match.

To fund these appropriations, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the total amount of $13,000,000, following the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution. The effective date for the provisions of this bill is set for the day following its final enactment.
