This bill appropriates $7,000,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026 to support the transportation of wood waste for processing. The funds are designated for a grant to the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association, which will facilitate the movement of wood waste to appropriate facilities.
The primary goal of this legislation is to enhance environmental management by ensuring that wood waste is effectively processed, thereby promoting sustainability and reducing waste in Minnesota. The bill underscores the state's commitment to improving waste management practices and supporting local organizations involved in environmental conservation efforts.
