This bill, H.F. No. 2348, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives by Representative Demuth during the 94th legislative session, pertains to transportation funding. It appropriates $1,500,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department of Transportation to study safety improvement options for three intersections along Trunk Highway 23 in Rockville.

The study will evaluate whether an underpass, overpass, or tunnel would be the best option for improving safety at the intersections of Trunk Highway 23 with:
1. Stearns County State-Aid Highway 47
2. Stearns County State-Aid Highway 82
3. Stearns County Road 140

The bill specifically prohibits consideration of a J-turn as a solution. The appropriation is designated as a one-time funding allocation.
