16:01Now PlayingThe Capital Investment Committee approved a bill Thursday, June 17, that would reignite several previously-approved capital projects that have been stalled due to technical authorization problems identified by Minnesota Management and Budget.
"The bonds won't be sold unless we make some corrections to the language," said bill sponsor Tom Bakk, I-Cook. "There is no new money in the bill we are about to consider." Projects impacted include several pubic infrastructure changes, road improvements; correctional facility system enhancements; floor hazard mitigation efforts and recreational accommodations.
The bill was sent to the Senate floor; however, the House of Representatives must first pass a bonding bill in order for the Senate to act on the measure. Senator Bakk explained that due to the approaching budget deadline, it would be prudent for the Senate to have a bill ready for floor action.
