The bill proposes an appropriation of $8,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Pollution Control Agency for the construction and equipping of a new regional household hazardous waste and recycling facility in Dakota County. This facility will serve both Dakota and Scott Counties, with the location chosen to best accommodate access for residents and businesses in both areas. The funding will be provided through a grant under the solid waste capital assistance grant program, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes.
To finance this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $8,000,000. The bond issuance will follow the procedures and terms specified in Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
