Summary: HF 3019 — Osseo Sesquicentennial Funding Provided, and Money Appropriated

Overview

HF 3019 is a Minnesota House of Representatives bill introduced on April 1, 2025, categorized under appropriations with a focus on Arts and Cities/Towns-specific funding. The bill aims to authorize a state appropriation to support Osseo’s sesquicentennial (150th anniversary) celebrations and related activities. The companion bill in the Senate is SF 3369. The bill has been introduced and referred to the Legacy Finance committee.

Purpose and Intent

  • Establish state funding to support Osseo’s sesquicentennial celebrations and associated arts or cultural initiatives tied to the city’s 150-year milestone.
  • The bill falls under the subject areas of appropriations and Arts, with a city-specific focus.

Key Provisions (as introduced)

  • The bill would authorize an appropriation to Osseo specifically designated for sesquicentennial activities.
  • Eligible uses and the exact allocation are defined in the introduced text; the summary here reflects the bill’s stated purpose rather than specific figures.
  • The legislation is positioned within Legacy Finance, indicating the funding would come from state resources allocated to the legacy or arts/cultural appropriation framework (consistent with the committee assignment).

Note: Specific dollar amounts, eligible use categories, matching requirements, or administrative details are not provided in the information available here. The introduced bill text would contain the precise provisions.

Fiscal Impact

  • No dollar figures are provided in the available information. If enacted, the bill would establish an appropriation related to Osseo’s sesquicentennial celebrations and related arts activities, affecting state expenditures in the designated appropriation area.
  • A fiscal note (if prepared) would detail the total amount, source of funds, timing, and any ongoing vs. one-time spend.

Who Is Affected

  • Osseo: as the beneficiary city for sesquicentennial funding.
  • Local arts organizations, cultural programs, and event organizers involved in Osseo’s anniversary activities.
  • Residents and visitors who participate in or benefit from sesquicentennial events and related programming.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Introduction and first reading occurred on April 1, 2025.
  • Referred to the Legacy Finance committee for consideration.
  • Companion bill exists in the Senate: SF 3369.
  • As an introduction-type bill, further action would include committee hearings, potential amendments, passage by the House, and consideration by the Senate (and any conference committee if the House and Senate bills differ) before potential enactment.

Next Steps

  • Legislative committees (Legacy Finance) would consider testimony, amendments, and a possible vote.
  • If approved, HF 3019 would move to the House floor and proceed toward enactment, with SF 3369 following parallel steps in the Senate.
  • Final outcome depends on committee actions, floor votes, and agreement between House and Senate versions.
