Northern Lights Express passenger rail project expenditures prohibited, prior appropriations canceled, and money transferred.

HF 1167 blocks all state and federal funding for the Northern Lights Express passenger rail project between Minneapolis and Duluth. It prohibits the Minnesota Commissioner of Transportation and the Metropolitan Council from spending money on any project phase - including studies, planning, engineering, or construction - using state or federal funds. The bill cancels prior appropriations for the project and redirects those funds elsewhere, though specific transfer details aren't outlined in the text. This directly affects state agencies and regional planning bodies responsible for transportation funding decisions. The law takes effect immediately upon final enactment.
