The bill proposes an appropriation of $6,500,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development for a grant to the city of South St. Paul. This funding is designated for the site preparation, construction, equipping, and furnishing of a new swimming pool and aquatics center. The grant is exempt from certain requirements under Minnesota Statutes, section 16B.325, and mandates the incorporation of various sustainable and accessibility features into the facility, including high-efficiency lighting, native landscaping, low-flow plumbing, and photovoltaic-ready infrastructure.

To finance this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $6,500,000, following the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes, sections 16A.631 to 16A.675, and the Minnesota Constitution. The effective date of this section is set for the day following its final enactment.
