This bill appropriates $200,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2027 to the commissioner of employment and economic development. The funds are designated for a grant to the city of North Branch specifically for the construction of a regional veterans memorial. This appropriation is a one-time allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the section will take effect the day following its final enactment. This ensures that the funding for the veterans memorial can be accessed promptly once the bill is officially passed.
