The bill proposes the appropriation of $20,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Metropolitan Council for grants aimed at metropolitan cities to improve their municipal wastewater collection systems. These grants are intended to help reduce inflow and infiltration into the Metropolitan Council's sanitary sewer disposal system, covering up to 50 percent of the costs for eligible cities. To qualify for these grants, cities must be identified by the council as contributors to excessive inflow and infiltration or have flow rates close to their allowable limits. The council will award grants based on applications that detail eligible costs and construction timelines for mitigation efforts.

Additionally, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $20,000,000 to fund the appropriated grants. The bond sale will be conducted in accordance with existing Minnesota statutes and constitutional provisions. The effective date for this section of the bill is set for the day following its final enactment.
