The bill proposes an appropriation of $5,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to support the renovation of the Hormel Institute facility in Austin, Minnesota. This funding is designated for the Austin Port Authority to design, construct, furnish, and equip a learning laboratory focused on workforce development, K-12 engagement, and professional training in STEM and bioimaging education.

To facilitate this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $5,000,000, following the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The effective date of this section will be the day after the bill is enacted.
