Purpose of the Bill

The purpose of this bill is to modify a previous appropriation for a capital project grant aimed at supporting Isuroon, an organization dedicated to assisting immigrant women. This modification addresses the use of grant funds for specific construction and development purposes.

Main Provisions

• The bill allocates funds to Isuroon for the predesign, design, construction, and renovation of its property located at 1600 East Lake Street in Minneapolis, to further the organization's mission. This includes support for immigrant women and providing mental health counseling.
• The funds can cover expenses incurred for the project starting from June 1, 2023.
• If there are leftover funds after completing the initial project, they may be used to acquire property and address additional construction needs, specifically for a specialty care center in the metropolitan area.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• The bill amends a previous law to allow the use of excess funds for the establishment of a specialty care center. The bill ensures that not only the initial project at the designated location is completed but also potentially expands the services and infrastructure through additional property acquisition and facility construction.
