This is the omnibus capital investment bill. At this time, no dollar amounts are given.
| Section | |
| 1 | Capital investment appropriations summary. |
| 2 | Children, families and learning. |
| Subd. 1. Total. | |
| Subd. 2. Metropolitan magnet schools (Crosswinds magnet school). To complete the project funded in the 2000 capital investment bill. | |
| Subd. 3. Maximum effort capital loan. For a capital loan to independent school district No. 2580, East Central (Sandstone). | |
| 3 | Trade and economic development. To pay costs not covered by federal disaster programs for publicly owned capital improvements made necessary because of natural disaster in areas covered by the declaration number 1333. Set asides for Red River basin, Eagan, and Austin. |
| 4 | Board of water and soil resources. For acquisition of easements and the administrative costs of acquiring the easements under the conservation reserve enhancement program (CREP) along the Minnesota River. |
| 5 | Administration. |
| Subd. 1. Total. | |
| Subd. 2. CAPRA; state office building. To tuckpoint and make masonry repairs to the north and west sides of the building and make associated interior repairs. | |
| Subd. 3. Electrical utility infrastructure, phase 5. To upgrade the primary electrical distribution system in the capitol complex. | |
| 6 | Pollution control agency. For the closed landfill cleanup program. In 1994, the legislature authorized $90 million in bonds over a period of ten years for the program. In 1995, (in special session), the legislature enacted the law that cancels unused bond authorizations reported by the department of finance after five years (now four). This re-appropriates a portion of the amount canceled by the 2001 cancellation report. |
| 7 | Bond sale expenses. |
| 8 | Bond sale schedule. |
| 9 | Bond sale authorizations. Authorizes an unspecified amount in state general obligation bonds to be sold to fund appropriations from the bond proceeds fund made in this act, and an unspecified amount to be sold to fund the appropriation from the maximum effort school loan fund. |
| 10 | DNR Fergus Falls facility. Amends the 2000 bonding appropriation to DNR for the Fergus Falls facility to allow DNR to acquire an existing building as well as construct a new building. |
| 11 | WIF; effective date. Makes the 2000 changes to the wastewater infrastructure funding statute (that limited funding to $15,000 per existing connection or $4 million per municipality, whichever is less) apply to grants and loans for which application is made after January 1, 2000. This means that Lake Mary township, which applied in August 1999, can receive approximately $148,493 more for its project. |
| 12 | Reenactment of corrections to 2000 bond provisions. The 2000 corrections bill, chapter 499 was a Senate file. Re-enactment as a House file is required for these provisions because the corrections were to increase the appropriations of bond proceeds. Because it is not without question whether appropriations of bond proceeds are revenue-raising provisions, bond counsel requires bonding bills to originate in the House. (Under the state constitution, a bill to raise revenue must originate in the House.) |
| 13 | Effective date. Day after enactment. |
