The bill appropriates $1,102,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2027 to support the ongoing maintenance of a digital geographic information system mapping project for school facilities. This funding is designated for grants to regional emergency communications boards, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 403.392. The appropriation is a one-time allocation and will remain available until it is fully expended.
This initiative aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that the mapping of school facilities is accurately maintained, thereby improving emergency response capabilities. The funding is part of a broader effort to support the statewide digital geographic information system mapping project established under previous legislation.
