The bill proposes the appropriation of $20,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Metropolitan Council for the purpose of providing grants to metropolitan cities. These grants are intended to support capital improvements in municipal wastewater collection systems aimed at reducing inflow and infiltration into the Metropolitan Council's sanitary sewer disposal system. Eligible cities must be identified by the council as contributors to excessive inflow and infiltration or have flow rates close to their allowable limits. The grants will cover up to 50 percent of the costs associated with mitigating these issues, and cities must submit applications detailing their eligible costs and construction timelines.

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 of this section is set for the day following its final enactment.
