The bill proposes an appropriation of $11,950,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of natural resources for capital improvements to the Rum River Dam in Anoka. The funds will be allocated for various enhancements, including operational and safety upgrades, improvements to support hydroelectric power generation and river surfing, and modifications to the existing spillway to either create a lock or incorporate a fish passage if a lock is deemed unfeasible.

Additionally, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the same amount to finance these improvements, following the guidelines set forth in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The effective date of this section is the day after the bill is enacted.
