Minnesota HF2484 authorizes bond issuance for library construction grants, establishes the Mary C.

Minnesota HF2484 amends the state statutes to rename the library construction grant program as the Mary C. Murphy Library Construction Grants Program. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to $1,000,000 to fund the program. Public library jurisdictions can apply for grants to remove architectural barriers, renovate or expand existing buildings, or construct new library buildings. The grants require a local match and cannot be used for new buildings.
