Small cities assistance program bond issue and appropriation

SF 29 appropriates $25 million from state bond sales to fund Minnesota's Small Cities Assistance Program. This program, administered by the Commissioner of Transportation under Minnesota Statutes §162.145, provides financial assistance for infrastructure projects in qualifying small cities across Minnesota. The bill authorizes the state to sell up to $25 million in bonds to cover these costs, following established bond procedures in Minnesota law. The funds directly support small cities (typically with populations under 50,000) for local infrastructure needs like roads and utilities.
