Corridors of commerce program bond issue and appropriation

SF 2096 authorizes the state to issue $400 million in bonds to fund Minnesota's Corridors of Commerce program, which focuses on transportation infrastructure. The bill appropriates these bond proceeds to the commissioner of transportation for highway projects, with up to 17% allocated for program administration. Funds will be deposited into the trunk highway fund and used under Minnesota Statutes, section 161.088. This bill directly affects state transportation planning and highway funding mechanisms.
