Summary of HF 1819 — Prior active transportation account transfer made onetime

Overview

HF 1819 is a Minnesota House bill introduced on March 3, 2025, at the 1st reading and referred to the Transportation Finance and Policy committee. The companion Senate bill is SF 896. The bill’s title indicates it proposes a one-time transfer from the Prior Active Transportation Account.

Purpose and intent

  • The primary purpose, as suggested by the title, is to authorize a one-time transfer of funds from the Prior Active Transportation Account.
  • Specific details, including the exact transfer amount, the timeline for the transfer, and the intended destination or use of the funds, would be described in the bill’s text and any accompanying fiscal notes.

Key provisions (as indicated by the bill’s title)

  • Authorization of a one-time transfer from the Prior Active Transportation Account.
  • The bill would specify how much is transferred, to what program or fund the money is redirected, and the effective date of the transfer.
  • Any conditions, restrictions, reporting requirements, or oversight mechanisms would be defined within the bill or subsequent implementing language.

Note: The precise terms, such as the transfer amount, allowable uses, and any limitations, are not provided in the summary materials available. The bill text would contain the specific provisions.

Potential impact and who is affected

  • Affects the balance of the Prior Active Transportation Account and the entity responsible for administering that account.
  • Could influence funding availability for active transportation projects (e.g., bike/pedestrian infrastructure) or other programs tied to the account, depending on where the funds are redirected.
  • Local governments and state agencies that rely on active transportation funding may experience changes in available resources for projects if the transfer alters program allocations.
  • The one-time nature of the transfer suggests no immediate long-term funding commitment, but the fiscal impact would depend on how the funds are redirected and whether any follow-up appropriations occur.

Procedural and timeline notes

  • Introduction and first reading on March 3, 2025.
  • Referred to the Transportation Finance and Policy committee.
