This bill proposes to exempt Beltrami County from the 25 percent cost-share requirement typically mandated for state disaster assistance under Minnesota Statutes, section 12B.35. Specifically, it allows the commissioner of public safety to reimburse Beltrami County for 100 percent of eligible costs incurred due to the severe storm event referenced in Emergency Executive Order 25-06, provided that the county applies and meets other requirements outlined in chapter 12B.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that makes this exemption effective retroactively from June 21, 2025. This means that any eligible costs incurred by Beltrami County related to the specified disaster event will be fully covered by state funds, alleviating the financial burden on the county during this recovery period.
