BioImaging Center at the Hormel Institute in Austin funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

This bill authorizes the issuance of up to $5 million in state bonds to fund the Bioimaging Center at the Hormel Institute in Austin. The money will be used to design, build, and equip a renovated space dedicated to STEM and bioimaging education, workforce training, and K-12 engagement. The Austin Port Authority will manage the project, while the state's commissioner of management and budget handles the bond sale process. Once enacted, the funds will come from the state's bond proceeds fund to support these educational and training initiatives.
