The bill appropriates $8,500,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of administration for the purpose of designing, constructing, and equipping improvements to a portion of the Capitol tunnel. Specifically, the improvements aim to bring the section of the tunnel under Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. This funding is a one-time appropriation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the section will take effect the day following its final enactment. This legislative action underscores the commitment to enhancing accessibility within state facilities, ensuring that the Capitol tunnel meets necessary legal standards for individuals with disabilities.
