Small cities assistance program bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $25 million from state bond proceeds to fund Minnesota's Small Cities Assistance Program (under Statute 162.145), directly supporting small cities for infrastructure projects like roads and utilities. It authorizes the state to sell up to $25 million in bonds through standard procedures to cover this funding, with the money to be managed by the commissioner of transportation. The program specifically assists qualifying small cities with capital improvements, providing them with dedicated state funding for local infrastructure needs. The bill becomes effective immediately upon enactment.
