Omnibus Capital Investment appropriations

This bill appropriates $1.325 million for state capital projects in fiscal year 2026, including $1 million for school security grants and $325,000 to replace a statue of Henry Mower Rice with one of Hubert H. Humphrey in the U.S. Capitol. It requires all state-funded construction projects to pay prevailing wages (Minnesota Statutes 177.42) and comply with sustainable building guidelines (Minnesota Statutes 16B.325) for new buildings or major renovations. The school security grants fund emergency entry devices at public schools, with $1,000 per building maximum, requiring updated crisis management policies. The bill modifies prior appropriations and establishes conditions for project funding and grant administration.
