This bill mandates that local governments in Minnesota establish capital project plans for major rehabilitation, expansion, or preservation of capital projects. It introduces new definitions for terms such as "capital project," "grantee," and "preservation," which clarify the scope and responsibilities associated with these plans. A grantee, defined as an entity receiving state funds for a capital project after July 1, 2025, is required to create a comprehensive plan that includes considerations for safety, maintenance, sustainability, and other relevant criteria.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that grantees must certify their compliance with the established capital project plan to the commissioner, who may request further documentation to verify this certification. The provisions outlined in this bill will take effect for capital projects funded through state grant agreements entered into on or after July 1, 2025.
