The bill appropriates $4,500,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of natural resources for the development of three segments of the Gitchi Gami State Trail. The funds will be used to construct a multiuse paved trail between Arrowhead Electric and Steam Engine Road in Lutsen, another segment between Superior Shores Road and Flood Bay State Wayside that includes a bridge over coastal wetland and improvements to the trailhead, and to predesign and design a trail segment from Flood Bay State Wayside to Stewart River.

To finance this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $4,500,000, following the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution. The effective date of this section is set for the day following its final enactment.
