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.

This legislation overrides a specific provision in Minnesota Statutes, section 297A.993, subdivision 2, to facilitate the funding for these critical safety measures. The intent is to enhance the safety of the Washington Avenue Bridge and provide necessary resources to prevent suicides in the area.
