Transportation department efficiency requirements modified.

HF 712 modifies Minnesota's transportation efficiency rules by changing how the Department of Transportation (DOT) uses savings from operational efficiencies. It requires that savings generated under Section 174.53 (15% of trunk highway fund appropriations above base amounts) must be redirected to fund trunk highway construction, maintenance, or rehabilitation projects. These funds are specifically directed toward the "corridors of commerce program" outlined in Section 161.088. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, applying to funds reallocated after that date.
