Small cities assistance program funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

This bill appropriates $25 million from state bond proceeds to fund Minnesota's Small Cities Assistance Program, which provides infrastructure and community development support to smaller cities. The funds will be administered by the commissioner of transportation under Minnesota Statutes §162.145. The bill authorizes the state to sell up to $25 million in bonds through standard state bond procedures to cover this appropriation. It directly affects small cities eligible for the program's services, such as road repairs and public facility improvements. The funding mechanism is purely financial, with no new eligibility requirements or policy changes specified in the bill text.
