  1 25 which established an alternative drainage system assistance
  1 26 program administered by the soil conservation division of the
  1 27 department of agriculture and land stewardship.  The
  1 28 legislation also created the alternative drainage system
  1 29 assistance fund to support the program.  House File 733
  1 30 appropriated to the fund a total of $3,000,000 over two fiscal
  1 31 years.  As a condition of the appropriation, the legislation
  1 32 required that up to $500,000 for each of the fiscal years must
  1 33 be used to pay for 75 percent of the estimated or actual cost
  1 34 of improvements for a single drainage improvement project, to
  1 35 provide alternative drainage outlets to allow for the closing
  2  1 of 30 or more agricultural drainage wells.  That bill also
  2  2 provided that a construction contract for the project must be

  2  4 that date to March 1, 1999, and requires the division to
  2  5 reserve the $500,000 for each of the fiscal years in order to
  2  6 support the project.
  2  7    The bill takes effect upon enactment.
