MODERATE

The bill was updated from its introduction to its first engrossment, reflecting significant changes in funding allocations and statutory references. The bill now cancels nearly $77 million for a passenger rail project and reduces special education aid appropriations, while introducing new funding for the Department of Education and unemployment aid for hourly workers. These changes indicate a shift in legislative priorities toward education and unemployment support while deferring or canceling other infrastructure and housing projects.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded to include new appropriations for the Department of Education and unemployment aid for hourly workers, while removing provisions related to the greater Minnesota housing infrastructure program and modifying the expiration date for a state aid account.

FISCAL

Provisions transferring $5 million to the housing development fund and appropriating $5 million for the greater Minnesota housing infrastructure grant program were removed.

New provisions cancel $77.2 million in appropriations for the Minneapolis-Duluth Northern Lights Express intercity passenger rail project.

New appropriations were added for the Department of Education and unemployment aid for hourly workers over the summer term.

Appropriations for special education aid were reduced by $683,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $22,085,000 for fiscal year 2027.

TIMELINE

The expiration date for a state aid account was changed from June 30, 2027, to June 30, 2028.
