This bill proposes an appropriation from the general fund to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for a grant aimed at purchasing and installing a continuous emission monitoring system to measure lead emissions from permitted facilities. Specifically, it allocates funds for assessing the effectiveness of such systems in monitoring compliance with lead emission limits. The bill prioritizes grants for facilities that have exceeded lead emission limits multiple times in the past five years and are located near significant residential populations. The grant can cover up to 100% of the costs associated with the purchase and installation of the monitoring system.

Additionally, the bill allows for a portion of the appropriated funds to be used for reimbursing the MPCA for administrative costs and providing technical assistance to grant recipients. This is a one-time appropriation that will remain available until June 30, 2029. The bill also defines a "continuous emissions monitoring system" and states that it will take effect the day after final enactment.
