What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to administer a
revolving loan program to assist municipalities and owners of homes located on the
shore of the Mississippi River where the structural integrity of municipal buildings
or homes is threatened by erosion of the shoreline. The bill appropriates $2,000,000
to DNR for this purpose and increases DNR's position authorization by 0.5 FTE
position to administer the program. The bill requires DNR to promulgate rules to
administer the program, including eligibility requirements and income limitations,
and authorizes DNR to promulgate emergency rules for the period before permanent
rules take effect.
