SF4890

Purpose

This bill makes a targeted change to a capital investment plan by modifying a prior grant to CornerHouse. It allows CornerHouse to use a grant to acquire property for a new facility in Hennepin County and extends the time the funds are available to complete this project.

Main Provisions

• Amends Laws 2023, chapter 71, article 1, section 14, subdivision 54 to designate a grant to CornerHouse specifically for acquiring property for a new facility in Hennepin County (labeled Subd. 54.CornerHouse).
• Provides that, notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes section 16A.642, the appropriation for this project remains available until December 31, 2029.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• Extends the availability of the CornerHouse capital project appropriation to December 31, 2029, rather than any earlier expiration.
• Clarifies that the funds are designated for CornerHouse to acquire property for a new facility in Hennepin County.
• Uses a “Notwithstanding” provision to override the usual timing rules in section 16A.642 for this specific appropriation.

Impact and Practical Effect

• CornerHouse can continue pursuing acquisition of property for a new facility, with the grant funds remaining available through the new deadline (December 31, 2029).
• The change specifically allocates the funding toward a property purchase in Hennepin County and aligns the timing with the extended availability date.
