University of Minnesota-Duluth; Academic Health Center facility funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 1508 appropriates $15 million from state bond proceeds to fund predesign, design, and preconstruction work for a new Academic Health Center facility at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. The facility will house the Duluth College of Pharmacy and Medical School, colocated in downtown Duluth's emerging Medical District. The bill authorizes the state to issue up to $15 million in bonds to cover these costs, following Minnesota's bond issuance procedures. This funding directly supports the University of Minnesota-Duluth's planning for a new health-focused campus building.
