Capital investment law amends appropriation language but not dollar amounts

A new law that took effect April 27, 2024, makes technical changes to prior capital investment appropriations.

It changes language to better describe the scope of a project or the administering agency while keeping the appropriation amount the same. Examples include adding “acquire property” to an appropriation for a construction project or changing a named grantee from a city to a school district in the same community.

The law also extends the duration of some appropriations and changes the due date for a cancellation report from Minnesota Management and Budget to the Legislature from Jan. 1 to Feb. 1 each year.

Rep. Fue Lee (DFL-Mpls) and Sen. Sandra Pappas (DFL-St. Paul) are the sponsors.
