Chisago County; U.S. Highway 8 reconstruction appropriation availability extended.

HF 2223 extends the deadline for using $42 million in existing funds allocated for reconstructing U.S. Highway 8 in Chisago County. The bill modifies the availability period for bond proceeds, allowing them to be used until December 31, 2029, instead of the standard expiration under Minnesota Statutes § 16A.642. This adjustment directly affects the ongoing highway project, which covers reconstruction from Chisago City to I-35, including pedestrian/bike trails and potential lane expansions. The bill does not create new funding or alter project scope - it only extends the timeframe for utilizing the existing appropriation.
