University of Minnesota funding provided for capital improvements on the Saint Paul campus, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 3438 allocates $84 million from state bonds to fund a new campus center at the University of Minnesota's Saint Paul campus, covering approximately two-thirds of the project costs. The university must cover the remaining one-third from its own funds, with the state bond proceeds used for predesign, construction, and related infrastructure work. The bill authorizes the state to issue up to $84 million in bonds under Minnesota law to finance this appropriation. This directly affects the University of Minnesota Saint Paul campus and Minnesota taxpayers through the bond mechanism.
