Red River Basin flood hazard mitigation projects appropriation and bond issuance authorization

SF 3917 appropriates $35 million from state bonds to fund flood hazard mitigation projects in Minnesota's Red River Basin. The funds directly support three watershed districts: $13.7 million for the Bois de Sioux Watershed District's Mustinka River project, $17.25 million for the Two Rivers Watershed District's Klondike Clean Water Retention Project, and $4 million for the Roseau River Watershed District's Roseau Lake Rehabilitation. The bill authorizes the state to issue bonds to cover these costs, with projects eligible for up to 75% state funding under specific agreements. This funding is intended to prevent flood damage and enhance natural resources through publicly owned infrastructure improvements.
