This bill appropriates $240,000,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026 to the Public Facilities Authority specifically for lead service line replacement grants. The funds are intended to support efforts to replace lead service lines, which are a significant public health concern due to the risks associated with lead exposure.

The appropriation is designated as a one-time allocation and will remain available until June 30, 2033. This initiative aims to enhance public safety and improve water quality by facilitating the replacement of outdated and potentially hazardous lead service lines in Minnesota.
