This bill, H.F. No. 1951, introduced in the Ninety-Fourth Session of the Minnesota House of Representatives, proposes funding for a regional public safety facility in the city of Winona. Specifically, the bill:

• Appropriates $36,500,000 from bond proceeds to the Commissioner of Public Safety.
• Funds will be used for acquiring property, predesign, design, construction, furnishing, and equipping a regional public safety center.
• The facility will collocate police, fire, and sheriff departments, and may also serve Winona area ambulance departments.
• Authorizes the sale and issuance of state bonds up to $36,500,000 to finance the project.
• Bonds will be issued under Minnesota Statutes (sections 16A.631 to 16A.675) and the Minnesota Constitution (Article XI, Sections 4 to 7).

This legislation aims to improve public safety infrastructure by consolidating emergency services into a centralized facility for the Winona area.
