The bill proposes an appropriation of $15,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Public Facilities Authority for the city of Howard Lake. This funding is designated for the design, construction, and equipping of a new water treatment facility aimed at providing clean, manganese-free drinking water to residents. Additionally, the appropriation includes funds for further improvements to the water system, such as a new well, upgrades to trunk water mains, and enhancements to the existing well and water tower near the new facility site.

To finance this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $15,000,000, following the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The effective date of this section will be the day after the bill is enacted.
