Clean water and parks and trails fund appropriations

This bill appropriates $155.35 million from Minnesota's Clean Water Fund for fiscal years 2026-2027 to support water quality and park/trail programs. It directs funding primarily to the Department of Agriculture for specific activities, including $3.5 million annually to implement a statewide agricultural water quality certification program, $3.1 million for nitrate trend monitoring and nutrient management practices, and $370,000 for pesticide monitoring. The bill also requires grant recipients to improve disability access and promote diversity in environmental careers. These funds are one-time allocations, available for specific, constitutionally authorized projects under the Clean Water Fund.
