AI Generated Summary

Purpose of the Bill

The bill aims to enhance public safety by establishing a regional emergency disaster services center in Roseville, Minnesota. This center will serve as a hub for responding to various disasters and emergencies.

Main Provisions

  • Funding Allocation: The bill provides $4,729,000 from the state's general fund for the project. This money will be used to support a nonprofit organization in Roseville to handle several project development tasks, such as acquiring property and overseeing construction.

  • Center Functions: The proposed center is designed to manage strategic reserves and supplies, facilitate multi-agency emergency responses, and provide statewide and multistate training. It is intended to be a versatile facility capable of addressing various emergency scenarios, including natural disasters, pandemics, and man-made incidents.

  • Nonstate Funding Requirement: State funds will only be released once at least 67% of the total project costs are secured from nonstate sources. This means a large portion of the funding must come from donations or other nonstate contributions.

  • Funding Availability: The allocated funds will remain available until the project is completed or abandoned according to Minnesota's regulatory requirements.

Significant Changes

This bill does not amend existing laws but introduces new funding and project development for a public safety enhancement initiative not previously established in Roseville.
