HF 1156 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Passenger rail appropriation modified.

HF 1156 modifies Minnesota's 2024-2025 passenger rail funding by reducing the appropriation from $197.5 million to $4.2 million. This bill amends the 2023 transportation law to adjust the budget allocation for passenger rail activities under Minnesota Statutes sections 174.632-174.636. The change directly affects state-funded rail services, including Amtrak operations and infrastructure projects. The reduced 2025 appropriation reflects a significant shift from the previous year's funding level for these programs.
