Require payment of certain local government utility costs related to trunk highway construction out of the trunk highway fund

SF 4051 requires the state trunk highway fund to cover costs for relocating local government or tribal utility systems (like water, sewer, or storm sewer lines) when highway construction necessitates moving them. It directly affects local units of government and Minnesota Tribal governments that own these utility systems. The bill mandates that the commissioner determine the remaining service life of the utility and pay relocation costs from the trunk highway fund, rather than requiring the local entity to cover these expenses. This changes the funding source for these specific relocation costs during trunk highway projects.
