This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically 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 provision that allocated $15,000,000 for aids payable in 2023 and 2024 has been deleted. The new appropriation will be effective for aids payable in 2025 and thereafter.

The bill aims to enhance funding for local government aids related to soil and water conservation, reflecting a commitment to environmental stewardship and support for conservation districts. By increasing the financial resources available, the legislation seeks to bolster efforts in soil and water conservation across Minnesota.
