The bill directs the allocation of funds from the transportation advancement account specifically for suicide prevention measures on the Washington Avenue Bridge in Minneapolis. It mandates that Hennepin County award a grant of $15,000,000 to the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota for the design and construction of suicide barriers, as well as the provision of suicide diversion information resources on the bridge.

This legislation overrides existing provisions in Minnesota Statutes, section 297A.993, subdivision 2, to facilitate the funding for these critical safety measures. The focus on suicide prevention highlights the importance of addressing mental health and safety concerns in public infrastructure.
