Purpose

Extend the availability of a Clean Water Fund appropriation from the Legacy program for the Ash River Sanitary Sewer Collection and Treatment System. The bill keeps the existing appropriation in place but moves or maintains the deadline so the funds can be used through June 30, 2026. This is a continuation of funding for a specific wastewater infrastructure project under the Legacy (Clean Water Fund) program.

Main Provisions

• The bill states that the portion of the appropriation for the Ash River Sanitary Sewer Collection and Treatment System, as currently defined in Minnesota Laws 2019 First Special Session chapter 2 article 2 section 5 paragraph h and amended by Laws 2021 First Special Session chapter 1 article 2 section 18, remains available through June 30, 2026.
• This action applies specifically to the Ash River project and preserves the existing funding framework (no new funds or new project changes are introduced).

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• No new amounts or program changes are created.
• The sole change is extending the deadline by which the existing Clean Water Fund appropriation for the Ash River system can be obligated or spent, from the previous date to June 30, 2026.

Context (Background)

• The bill pertains to infrastructure funding managed under Minnesota’s Legacy/Lake Clean Water Fund provisions, supporting wastewater treatment needs for the Ash River area.
