This bill, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives and authored by Representative West, seeks to appropriate $16.5 million from the bond proceeds account in the trunk highway fund for transportation improvements in the city of Ham Lake. Specifically, the funding will be used for preliminary engineering, environmental documentation, final design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of intersection improvements at the intersection of Trunk Highway 65 and Bunker Lake Boulevard Northeast, along with associated frontage and backage roads.

The bill also authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds in an amount up to $16.5 million to finance the project. The bond proceeds, excluding accrued interest and any premium received from their sale, will be deposited into the bond proceeds account in the trunk highway fund. Notably, this appropriation does not require a non-state funding contribution.
