ST. PAUL, MN – Recently, Rep. Jon Koznick, R-Lakeville, passed a bill, HF2956, by a unanimous 126-0 vote. After passing in the House of Representatives and Senate, Governor Mark Dayton signed the bill into law.
The bipartisan legislation assists the Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) in better representing area residents. It creates an appointed position on the CDA Board for a resident of a federally funded public housing unit. This legislation would give a greater voice to Dakota County residents living in a housing unit. It also streamlines the process to meet federal law requirements and clears up unnecessary language in Minnesota statute.
“I’m proud to author this legislation that helps support workforce, senior, and affordable housing,” said Koznick. “It’s amazing to see an idea become a law that gives a greater voice to residents of Dakota County.”
