The bill appropriates $300,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the Metropolitan Council, specifically for a grant to the I-494 Corridor Commission. This funding is intended to support programming and service expansion, which includes staffing, communications, outreach, education program development, and operations management.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Metropolitan Council is prohibited from using any portion of the grant for administrative costs, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 16B.98, subdivision 14. The council is required to disburse the full grant amount by June 30, 2026, and this appropriation is designated as a one-time funding measure. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
