The bill appropriates $400,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of administration for a grant to Stearns County. This funding is designated for the predesign of a new facility that will expand the St. David's Center for Child and Family Development. The facility aims to enhance public welfare by offering early childhood education, children's mental health services, pediatric therapy, and support services designed to stabilize families, build skills, and improve educational and health outcomes for Minnesotans.
Additionally, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to $400,000 to finance the appropriated funds. The provisions for the bond sale will adhere to the guidelines set forth in Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution. The bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
