Community tree-planting grants funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.
This bill authorizes the issuance of state bonds to fund community tree-planting grants through the Metropolitan Council in Minnesota. It appropriates up to $5,000,000 from bond proceeds to support these grants, which will help communities plant trees. The bill requires the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds following established legal procedures. Funding becomes available immediately after the bill is enacted, allowing the Metropolitan Council to distribute grants to eligible communities for tree-planting projects.
