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 shift in funding priorities to enhance support for conservation efforts.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the new appropriation will be effective for aids payable in 2025 and thereafter. This change aims to provide increased financial resources to local governments for soil and water conservation initiatives, thereby promoting environmental sustainability and resource management in Minnesota.
