BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:
ARTICLE 1
REVISOR'S BILL
Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 10A.275, is
amended to read:
10A.275 [MULTICANDIDATE POLITICAL PARTY EXPENDITURES.]
Notwithstanding any other provisions of Laws 1978, Chapter
463 chapter 10A, the following expenditures by a state political
party or a substate unit of a state political party as described
in section 10A.27, subdivision 4, shall not be considered
contributions to or expenditures on behalf of any candidate for
the purposes of section 10A.25 or 10A.27, and shall not be
allocated to any candidates pursuant to section 10A.22,
subdivision 5:
(a) expenditures on behalf of candidates of that party
generally without referring to any of them specifically in any
advertisement published, posted or broadcast;
(b) expenditures for the preparation, display, mailing or
other distribution of an official party sample ballot listing
the names of three or more individuals whose names are to appear
on the ballot;
(c) expenditures for any telephone conversation including
the names of three or more individuals whose names are to appear
on the ballot; or
(d) expenditures for any political party fundraising effort
on behalf of three or more candidates.
Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 10A.31,
subdivision 2, is amended to read:
Subd. 2. The taxpayer may designate that the $1 $2 be paid
into the account of a political party or into the general
account.
Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 10A.335, is
amended to read:
10A.335 [LEGISLATIVE MONITORING OF TAX CHECK-OFF.]
For the purpose of determining whether the distribution
formula provided in section 10A.31, subdivision 5, (a) assures
that moneys will be returned to the counties from which they
were collected, and (b) continues to have a rational relation to
the support for particular parties or particular candidates
within legislative districts, it is the intention of this
section that future legislatures monitor, using statistical data
provided by the department of revenue, income tax returns and
renter and homeowner property tax refund returns on which $1 $2,
or in the case of a joint return, $2 $4, is designated for a
political party.
Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 10A.32,
subdivision 3b, is amended to read:
Subd. 3b. As a condition of receiving a public subsidy for
his election campaign in the form of tax credits against the tax
due from individuals who contribute to his principal campaign
committee a candidate shall agree by stating in writing to the
board at any time beginning with the registration of his
principal campaign committee that his expenditures and approved
expenditures shall not exceed the expenditure limits as set
forth in section 10A.25. The agreement shall remain effective
until the dissolution of the principal campaign committee of the
candidate or the opening of filing for the next succeeding
election for the office held or sought at the time of agreement,
whichever occurs first. An agreement signed under this
subdivision may not be rescinded. The commissioner of revenue
shall not allow any individual or married couple filing jointly
to take a credit against any tax due, pursuant to section
290.06, subdivision 11, for any contribution to a candidate for
legislative or statewide office who has not signed the agreement
provided in this subdivision. Nothing in this subdivision shall
be construed to limit the campaign expenditure of any candidate
who does not sign an agreement under this subdivision but
accepts a contribution for which the contributor claims a credit
against tax due. The board shall forward a copy of any
agreement signed under this subdivision to the commissioner of
revenue. The board shall make available to any candidate
signing an agreement a supply of Official Tax Credit Receipt
forms which state in bold face type that (a) a contributor who
is given a receipt form is eligible to receive a credit against
his tax due in an amount equal to 50 percent of his contribution
but not more than $25 $50 for an individual, or not more than
$50 $100 for a married couple filing jointly, and (b) that the
candidate to whom he has contributed has voluntarily agreed to
abide by campaign expenditure limits. If a candidate does not
sign an agreement under this subdivision he may not issue an
Official Tax Credit Receipt form, or any facsimile thereof, to
any of his contributors. Any candidate who does not voluntarily
agree to abide by the expenditure limits imposed in section
10A.25 and who willfully issues Official Tax Credit Receipt
forms, or any facsimile thereof, to any contributor is guilty of
a misdemeanor.
Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 11A.24,
subdivision 6, is amended to read:

the fund for which the state board is investing;
(2) There shall be at least four unrelated owners of the

commissioner shall also fulfill any notice requirements
prescribed by chapter 14 and rules of the hearing examiner
office of administrative hearings. No claim shall be allowed
unless it is filed with the commissioner within one year of the
date of the transaction. If a livestock market agency or
livestock dealer has on file a Packers and Stockyards Act bond
and is registered with the Packers and Stockyards
Administration, the terms of the bond or that federal agency's
regulations will control in determining the time for filing
claims.

(b) [PLAN OF CONVERSION.] (i) The plan of conversion shall
provide that, upon consummation of the conversion, each
policyholder at the date of the passage of the resolution by the
board of directors shall be entitled to such shares of stock of
the new company as his equitable share of the surplus of the
company will purchase. This equitable share shall be determined
by independent certified auditors or consulting actuaries and
shall be subject to approval by the commissioner. If a
policyholder's equitable share of the surplus of the company
produces a fractional share, the policyholder shall be given the
option of either receiving the value of the fractional share in
cash or of purchasing the fractional part of a share that will
entitle him to a full share.
(ii) No shares of the corporation being organized shall be
issued or subscribed for, formally or informally, directly or
indirectly during the conversion except as authorized under
subparagraph (i).
(iii) The corporation shall not pay compensation or
remuneration of any kind to any person in connection with the

policyholder as of the date of the adoption under subparagraph
(a) shall be entitled to one vote for each policy held by him.

(d) [APPROVAL BY THE COMMISSIONER.] (i) Within 30 days
after its adoption by the policyholders, the plan of conversion
shall be submitted to the commissioner with an application for
his approval.

single shares is set at a figure that substantially burdens
policyholders who wish to purchase a fractional share under
subparagraph (b)(i).
(iii) If the commissioner finds that the plan of conversion
has been duly approved by the policyholders, that the conversion
would not violate any law and would not be contrary to the
interests of the policyholders, he shall approve the plan of
conversion and shall issue a new certificate of authority to the
corporation.
(e) [CONVERSION.] After filing an amendment of the articles
of incorporation as provided by chapter 300, the corporation
shall become a stock corporation and shall no longer be a mutual
corporation, and the board of directors shall execute the plan
of conversion.

first of that year, is increased or decreased above or below the
corresponding market value of such standard ore that prevailed
at the time of submission of the application for a prospecting
permit on the mining unit covered by this lease; provided, that,
in no case shall such royalties be less than the minimum
royalties prescribed by law. For the purposes hereof, the
market value of such standard ore as of the date of application
for a prospecting permit on the mining unit covered by this
lease, as determined by the commissioner of natural resources,
was ............. Dollars ($........). As soon as practicable
after April first of each year, the commissioner of natural
resources shall determine the market value of such standard
grade of Mesabi Non-Bessemer ore as of said date, shall file his
order thereon in his office, shall file certified copies thereof
in the offices of the state treasurer and commissioner of
finance, and shall mail a certified copy thereof to the
part..... of the second part. The market value so determined
shall govern for the purpose of computing royalties due under
this lease on ore removed during such calendar year. If such
determination is not made in time for use in computing any such
royalty, such royalty shall be computed and paid when due at the
last rate theretofore in force under the provisions hereof,
subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. Upon the
determination by the commissioner of the applicable market value
of ore, if it appears that the amount theretofore paid for any
royalty subject to such determination was less or greater than
the correct amount based on such determination, any deficiency
in such payment shall be added to and paid together with the
rental or royalty due at the next following quarterly payment
date hereunder, and any excess in such payment shall be applied
as a credit upon rentals or royalties subsequently due hereunder
as the case may be.
(2) If the part..... of the second part shall dispute any
determination by the commissioner of the market value of such
standard ore, the royalties affected thereby shall nevertheless
be paid when due at the rates based on such determination;
provided, that upon making any such payment when due, the
part..... of the second part may file with the commissioner a
protest against such determination, specifying the amount
alleged to be the true market value of such standard ore for the
purpose of computing such royalty. If the dispute involves the
determination of the market value of such standard ore as of the
date of application for a prospecting permit, as set forth in
subdivision 9 (1) above, such protest shall be filed once only
and then within 30 days after the first royalty payments are
due. Within 30 days after filing such protest, the part..... of
the second part may bring an action against the commissioner in
the district court for Ramsey county for a declaratory judgment
determining the market value of the ore in dispute as stated in
the protest. Upon the taking effect of final judgment in such
action, the value determined thereby shall supersede the value
determined by the commissioner for the purposes hereof, and
adjustment of the amounts paid or payable for royalties shall be
made accordingly in like manner as hereinbefore provided upon
determination of market value by the commissioner. If such
action is not brought within the time aforesaid, the
commissioner's determination of market value shall be final. In
case the part..... of the second part shall be entitled to any
adjustment on account of overpayment of royalties hereunder, and
the rentals or royalties subsequently due on or before the
termination of this lease are not sufficient to make such
adjustment as hereinbefore provided, the excess of such
royalties paid above the amount adjustable against subsequent
rentals or royalties shall be refunded to the part..... of the
second part as provided by Minnesota Statutes 1949, section
6.136 16A.48.

clause (c) or (d) made prior to, on, or after January 1, 1978.
Sec. 41. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 260.193,
subdivision 6, is amended to read:
Subd. 6. Before making a disposition of any child found to
be a juvenile major traffic offender, the court shall obtain
from the department of transportation public safety information
of any previous traffic violation by this juvenile. In the case
of a juvenile water traffic offender, he shall obtain from the
office where the information is now or hereafter may be kept
information of any previous water traffic violation by the
juvenile.
Sec. 42. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 268.18,
subdivision 2, is amended to read:
Subd. 2. [FRAUD.] Any claimant who files a claim for or
receives benefits by knowingly and wilfully misrepresenting or
misstating any material fact or by knowingly and willfully
failing to disclose any material fact which would make him
ineligible for benefits under sections 268.03 to 268.24 is
guilty of fraud. After the discovery of facts by the
commissioner indicating fraud in claiming or obtaining benefits
under sections 268.03 to 268.24, he is hereby authorized to make
a determination that the claimant was ineligible for each week
with reference to which benefits were claimed or obtained by
fraud for the amount as was in excess of what the claimant would
have been entitled to had he not made the fraudulent statements
or failed to disclose any material facts. The commissioner also
may disqualify an individual from benefits for one to 52 weeks
in which the claimant is otherwise eligible for benefits
following the week in which the fraud was determined. A
disqualification imposed for fraud shall not be removed by
subsequent insured work or the expiration of a benefit year but
shall not apply to any week more than 104 weeks after the week
in which the fraud was determined. Said claimant shall within
20 days from the date of mailing the notice of said
determination to him repay in cash to the department of economic
security any benefits so fraudulently obtained. Unless the
claimant files a written appeal with the department of economic
security within 15 days after the mailing of the notice of
determination to his last known address or personal delivery of
the notice., the determination shall become final. If the
claimant shall appeal from such determination within the time
above specified said matter shall be referred to an appeal
tribunal for a hearing as in other benefit cases and thereafter
the procedure for review shall be the same as set forth in
section 268.10. The commissioner is hereby authorized to deduct
from future benefits payable to the claimant in either the
current or any subsequent benefit year an amount equivalent to
the amount of overpayment determined or the overpayment may be
collected without interest by civil action in the name of the
commissioner. If a claimant has been overpaid benefits under
the law of another state and that state certifies to the
department the facts involved and that the individual is liable
to repay the benefits and requests the department to recover the
overpayment, the commissioner is authorized to deduct from
future benefits payable to the claimant in either the current or
any subsequent benefit year an amount equivalent to the amount
of overpayment determined by that state.
Sec. 43. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 273.13,
subdivision 6, is amended to read:
Subd. 6. [CLASS 3B.] Agricultural land, except as provided

land, most contiguous surrounding, bordering, or closest to the
house occupied by the owner as his dwelling place, and such
other structures as may be included thereon utilized by the
owner in an agricultural pursuit, provided that noncontiguous
land shall constitute class 3b only if the homestead is
classified as class 3b and the detached land is located in the
same township or city or not farther than two townships or
cities or combination thereof from the homestead. The first
$12,000 market value of each tract of real estate which is rural
in character and devoted or adaptable to rural but not
necessarily agricultural use, used for the purpose of a
homestead shall be exempt from taxation for state purposes;
except as specifically provided otherwise by law.
Agricultural land as used herein, and in section 124.2137,
shall mean contiguous acreage of ten acres or more, primarily
used during the preceding year for agricultural purposes.
Agricultural use may include pasture, timber, waste, unusable
wild land and land included in federal farm programs.
Real estate of less than ten acres used principally for
raising poultry, livestock, fruit, vegetables or other
agricultural products, shall be considered as agricultural land,
if it is not used primarily for residential purposes.

the assessor shall determine and list separately on his records
the market value of the homestead dwelling and the one acre of
land on which that dwelling is located. If any farm buildings

Subdivision 1. [DISTRIBUTION FROM GENERAL FUND.] The
proceeds of the taxes collected under section 298.24, except the
tax collected under section 298.24, subdivision 2, shall, upon
certificate of the commissioner of revenue to the general fund
of the state, be paid by the commissioner of revenue as follows:
(1) 2.5 cents per gross ton of merchantable iron ore
concentrate, hereinafter referred to as "taxable ton," to the
city or town in which the lands from which taconite was mined or
quarried were located or within which the concentrate was
produced. If the mining, quarrying, and concentration, or
different steps in either thereof are carried on in more than
one taxing district, the commissioner shall apportion equitably
the proceeds of the part of the tax going to cities and towns
among such subdivisions upon the basis of attributing 40 percent
of the proceeds of the tax to the operation of mining or
quarrying the taconite, and the remainder to the concentrating
plant and to the processes of concentration, and with respect to
each thereof giving due consideration to the relative extent of
such operations performed in each such taxing district. His
order making such apportionment shall be subject to review by
the tax court at the instance of any of the interested taxing
districts, in the same manner as other orders of the
commissioner.
(2) 12.5 cents per taxable ton, less any amount distributed
under clause (8), to the taconite municipal aid account in the
apportionment fund of the state treasury, to be distributed as
provided in section 298.282.
(3) 29 cents per taxable ton plus the increase provided in
paragraph (c) to qualifying school districts to be distributed
as follows:
(a) Six cents per taxable ton to the school districts in
which the lands from which taconite was mined or quarried were
located or within which the concentrate was produced. The
commissioner shall follow the apportionment formula prescribed
in clause (1).
(b) 23 cents per taxable ton, less any amount distributed
under part (d), shall be distributed to a group of school
districts comprised of those school districts wherein the
taconite was mined or quarried or the concentrate produced or in
which there is a qualifying municipality as defined by section
273.134 in direct proportion to school district tax levies as
follows: each district shall receive that portion of the total
distribution which its certified levy for the prior year,
computed pursuant to section 275.125, comprises of the sum of
certified levies for the prior year for all qualifying
districts, computed pursuant to section 275.125. For purposes
of distributions pursuant to this part, certified levies for the
prior year computed pursuant to section 275.125 shall not
include the amount of any increased levy authorized by
referendum pursuant to section 275.125, subdivision 2d.
(c) On July 15, 1982 and on July 15 in subsequent years, an
amount equal to the increase derived by increasing the amount
determined by clause (3)(b) in the same proportion as the
increase in the steel mill products index over the base year of
1977 as provided in section 298.24, subdivision 1, clause (a),
shall be distributed to any school district described in clause
(3)(b) where a levy increase pursuant to section 275.125,
subdivision 2d, is authorized by referendum, according to the
following formula. Each district shall receive the product of:
(i) $150 times the pupil units identified in section
124.17, subdivision 1, clauses (1) and (2), enrolled in the
previous school year, less the product of two mills times the
district's taxable valuation in the second previous year; times
(ii) the lesser of:

(B) the ratio of the amount certified pursuant to section
275.125, subdivision 2d, in the previous year, to the product of
two mills times the district's taxable valuation in the second
previous year.
If the total amount provided by clause (3)(c) is
insufficient to make the payments herein required then the
entitlement of $150 per pupil unit shall be reduced uniformly so
as not to exceed the funds available. Any amounts received by a
qualifying school district in any fiscal year pursuant to clause
(3)(c) shall not be applied to reduce foundation aids which the
district is entitled to receive pursuant to section 124.212
sections 124.2121 to 124.2128 or the permissible levies of the
district. Any amount remaining after the payments provided in
this paragraph shall be paid to the commissioner of finance who
shall deposit the same in the taconite environmental protection
fund and the northeast Minnesota economic protection trust fund
as provided in section 298.28, subdivision 1, clause 10.
(d) There shall be distributed to any school district the
amount which the school district was entitled to receive under
section 298.32 in 1975.
(4) 19.5 cents per taxable ton to counties to be
distributed as follows:
(a) 15.5 cents per taxable ton shall be distributed to the
county in which the taconite is mined or quarried or in which
the concentrate is produced, less any amount which is to be
distributed pursuant to part (b). The commissioner shall follow
the apportionment formula prescribed in clause (1).
(b) If an electric power plant owned by and providing the
primary source of power for a taxpayer mining and concentrating
taconite is located in a county other than the county in which
the mining and the concentrating processes are conducted, one
cent per taxable ton of the tax distributed to the counties
pursuant to part (a) and imposed on and collected from such
taxpayer shall be distributed by the commissioner of revenue to
the county in which the power plant is located.
(c) Four cents per taxable ton shall be paid to the county
from which the taconite was mined, quarried or concentrated to
be deposited in the county road and bridge fund. If the mining,
quarrying and concentrating, or separate steps in any of those
processes are carried on in more than one county, the
commissioner shall follow the apportionment formula prescribed
in clause (1).
(5) (a) 25.75 cents per taxable ton, less any amount
required to be distributed under part (b), to the taconite
property tax relief account in the apportionment fund in the
state treasury, to be distributed as provided in sections
273.134 to 273.136.
(b) If an electric power plant owned by and providing the
primary source of power for a taxpayer mining and concentrating
taconite is located in a county other than the county in which
the mining and the concentrating processes are conducted, .75
cent per taxable ton of the tax imposed and collected from such
taxpayer shall be distributed by the commissioner of revenue to
the county and school district in which the power plant is
located as follows: 25 percent to the county and 75 percent to
the school district.
(6) One cent per taxable ton to the state for the cost of
administering the tax imposed by section 298.24.
(7) Three cents per taxable ton shall be deposited in the
state treasury to the credit of the iron range resources and
rehabilitation board account in the special revenue fund for the
purposes of section 298.22. The amount determined in this
clause shall be increased in 1981 and subsequent years in the
same proportion as the increase in the steel mill products index
as provided in section 298.24, subdivision 1. The amount
distributed pursuant to this clause shall be expended within or
for the benefit of a tax relief area defined in section
273.134. No part of the fund provided in this clause may be
used to provide loans for the operation of private business
unless the loan is approved by the governor and the legislative
advisory commission.
(8) .20 cent per taxable ton shall be paid in 1979 and each
year thereafter, to the range association of municipalities and
schools, for the purpose of providing an area wide approach to
problems which demand coordinated and cooperative actions and
which are common to those areas of northeast Minnesota affected
by operations involved in mining iron ore and taconite and
producing concentrate therefrom, and for the purpose of
promoting the general welfare and economic development of the
cities, towns and school districts within the iron range area of
northeast Minnesota.
(9) the amounts determined under clauses (4)(a), (4)(c),
and (5) shall be increased in 1979 and subsequent years in the
same proportion as the increase in the steel mill products index
as provided in section 298.24, subdivision 1.
(10) the proceeds of the tax imposed by section 298.24
which remain after the distributions in clauses (1) to (9) and
parts (a) and (b) of this clause have been made shall be divided
between the taconite environmental protection fund created in
section 298.223 and the northeast Minnesota economic protection
trust fund created in section 298.292 as follows: In 1981 and
each year thereafter, two-thirds to the taconite environmental
protection fund and one-third to the northeast Minnesota
economic protection trust fund. The proceeds shall be placed in
the respective special accounts in the general fund.
(a) In 1978 and each year thereafter, there shall be
distributed to each city, town, school district, and county the
amount that they received under section 294.26 in calendar year
1977; provided, however, that the amount distributed in 1981 to
the unorganized territory number 2 of Lake County and the town
of Beaver Bay based on the between-terminal trackage of Erie
Mining Company will be distributed in 1982 and subsequent years
to the unorganized territory number 2 of Lake County and the
towns of Beaver Bay and Stony River based on the miles of track
of Erie Mining Company in each taxing district.
(b) In 1978 and each year thereafter, there shall be
distributed to the iron range resources and rehabilitation board
the amounts it received in 1977 under section 298.22.
On or before October 10 of each calendar year each producer
of taconite or iron sulphides subject to taxation under section
298.24 (hereinafter called "taxpayer") shall file with the
commissioner of revenue and with the county auditor of each
county in which such taxpayer operates, and with the chief
clerical officer of each school district, city or town which is
entitled to participate in the distribution of the tax, an
estimate of the amount of tax which would be payable by such
taxpayer under said law for such calendar year; provided such
estimate shall be in an amount not less than the amount due on
the mining and production of concentrates up to September 30 of
said year plus the amount becoming due because of probable
production between September 30 and December 31 of said year,
less any credit allowable as hereinafter provided. Such
estimate shall list the taxing districts entitled to participate
in the distribution of such tax, and the amount of the estimated
tax which would be distributable to each such district in the
next ensuing calendar year on the basis of the last percentage
distribution certified by the commissioner of revenue. If there
be no such prior certification, the taxpayer shall set forth its
estimate of the proper distribution of such tax under the law,
which estimate may be corrected by the commissioner if he deems
it improper, notice of such correction being given by him to the
taxpayer and the public officers receiving such estimate. The
officers with whom such report is so filed shall use the amount
so indicated as being distributable to each taxing district in
computing the permissible tax levy of such county, city or
school district in the year in which such estimate is made, and
payable in the next ensuing calendar year, except that in 1978
and 1979 two cents per taxable ton, and in 1980 and thereafter,
one cent per taxable ton of the amount distributed under clause
(4)(c) shall not be deducted in calculating the permissible
levy. Such taxpayer shall then pay, at the times payments are
required to be made pursuant to section 298.27, as the amount of
tax payable under section 298.24, the greater of (a) the amount
shown by such estimate, or (b) the amount due under said section
as finally determined by the commissioner of revenue pursuant to
law. If, as a result of the payment of the amount of such
estimate, the taxpayer has paid in any calendar year an amount
of tax in excess of the amount due in such year under section
298.24, after application of credits for any excess payments
made in previous years, all as determined by the commissioner of
revenue, the taxpayer shall be given credit for such excess
amount against any taxes which, under said section, may become
due from the taxpayer in subsequent years. In any calendar year
in which a general property tax levy subject to sections 275.125
or 275.50 to 275.59 has been made, if the taxes distributable to
any such county, city or school district are greater than the
amount estimated to be paid to any such county, city or school
district in such year, the excess of such distribution shall be
held in a special fund by the county, city or school district
and shall not be expended until the succeeding calendar year,
and shall be included in computing the permissible levies under
sections 275.125 or 275.50 to 275.59, of such county, city or
school district payable in such year. If the amounts
distributable to any such county, city or school district, after
final determination by the commissioner of revenue under this
section are less than the amounts indicated by such estimates,
such county, city or school district may issue certificates of
indebtedness in the amount of the shortage, and may include in
its next tax levy, in excess of the limitations of sections
275.125 or 275.50 to 275.59 an amount sufficient to pay such
certificates of indebtedness and interest thereon, or, if no
certificates were issued, an amount equal to such shortage.
There is hereby annually appropriated to such taxing
districts as are stated herein, to the taconite property tax
relief account and to the taconite municipal aid account in the
apportionment fund in the state treasury, to the department of
revenue, to the iron range resources and rehabilitation board,
to the range association of municipalities and schools, to the
taconite environmental protection fund, and to the northeast
Minnesota economic protection trust fund, from any fund or
account in the state treasury to which the money was credited,
an amount sufficient to make the payment or transfer. The
payment of the amount appropriated to such taxing districts
shall be made by the commissioner of revenue on or before May 15
annually.

and unemancipated child, except that a guardian is not legally
obligated to provide from his own funds for the ward. In
particular, and without qualifying the foregoing, a guardian has
the following powers and duties:
(a) He must take reasonable care of his ward's personal
effects and commence protective proceedings if necessary to
protect other property of the ward.
(b) He may receive money payable for the support of the
ward to the ward's parent, guardian or custodian under the terms
of any statutory benefit or insurance system, or any private
contract, devise, trust, conservatorship or custodianship. He
also may receive money or property of the ward paid or delivered
by virtue of section 525.6196. Any sums so received shall be
applied to the ward's current needs for support, care and
education. He must exercise due care to conserve any excess for
the ward's future needs unless a conservator has been appointed
for the estate of the ward, in which case the excess shall be
paid over at least annually to the conservator. Sums so
received by the guardian are not to be used for compensation for
his services except as approved by order of court or as
determined by a duly appointed conservator other than the
guardian. A guardian may institute proceedings to compel the
performance by any person of a duty to support the ward or to
pay sums for the welfare of the ward.
(c) The guardian is empowered to facilitate the ward's
education, social, or other activities and to authorize medical
or other professional care, treatment or advice. A ward may not

give consent for psychosurgery, electroshock, sterilization or
experimental treatment of any kind unless the procedure is first
approved by the order of the court, after a hearing as
prescribed by section 525.56, subdivision 2.

injury to the ward resulting from the negligence or acts of
third persons unless it would have been illegal for a parent to
have consented, or unless he fails to comply with the
requirements of this section which provide that a court order is
necessary for commitment and for certain types of medical
procedures. A guardian may consent to the marriage or adoption
of his ward.
(d) A guardian must report the condition of his ward and of
the ward's estate which has been subject to his possession or
control, as ordered by the court on its own motion or on
petition of any person interested in the minor's welfare and as
required by court rule.

For purposes of any public pension plan, as defined in
section 356.60, subdivision 1, clause (a) 356.61, each employer
shall pick up the employee contributions required pursuant to
law or the pension plan for all salary payable after December
31, 1982. If the United States Treasury department or a federal
court rules that pursuant to section 414(h) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, that these picked up
contributions, are not includable in the employee's adjusted
gross income until they are distributed or made available, then
these picked up contributions shall be treated as employer
contributions in determining tax treatment pursuant to the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and the employer
shall discontinue withholding federal income taxes on the amount
of these contributions. The employer shall pay these picked up
contributions from the same source of funds as is used to pay
the salary of the employee. The employer shall pick up these
employee contributions by a reduction in the cash salary of the
employee. Employee contributions that are picked up shall be
treated for all purposes of the public pension plan in the same
manner and to the same extent as employee contributions that
were made prior to the date on which the employee contributions
pick up began. For purposes of this section, "employee" means
any person covered by a public pension plan. For purposes of
this section, "employee contributions" include any sums deducted
from the employee's salary or wages or otherwise paid in lieu
thereof, regardless of whether they are denominated
contributions by the public pension plan.
For any calendar year in which withholding has been reduced
pursuant to this section, the association or agency
administering the plan shall supply each employee and the
commissioner of revenue with an information return indicating
the amount of the employer's picked-up contributions for the
calendar year that were not subject to withholding. This return
shall be provided to the employee not later than January 31 of
the succeeding calendar year. The commissioner of revenue shall
prescribe the form of the return and the provisions of sections
290.41 and 290.42 shall apply to the extent not inconsistent
with the provisions of this section.

[290.06] Subd. 2f. [SUSPENSION OF INFLATION ADJUSTMENTS.]
(a) The taxable net income brackets, the personal credit amounts
established pursuant to subdivision 3f and 3g, and the maximum
standard deduction provided under section 16, subdivision 3,
shall not be adjusted for inflation pursuant to subdivision 2d,
for taxable years beginning during a calendar year if the
following conditions occur:
(1) The legislature and the governor have enacted a budget
providing for an appropriation to the budget reserve account of
at least $250,000,000 for the biennium during which the calendar
year began or, in the second half of an odd-numbered year, for
the biennium which began during the calendar year; and
(2) The commissioner of finance estimated at the time the
budget is enacted that the state would receive sufficient
general fund receipts during the biennium to fund the full
appropriation to the budget reserve account; and
(3) On or before September 15 of the calendar year it is
estimated by the commissioner of finance that the probable
general fund receipts from taxes and other sources will be less
than estimated and consequently the amount available for the
remainder of the biennium after transferring any available funds
in the budget reserve account will be less than the amount
estimated or allotted to be expended or incurred from the
general fund; and
(4) The additional receipts resulting from the suspension
of the inflation adjustments, together with all other general
fund revenues, are not estimated to exceed the sum of the
amounts necessary to fund in full all appropriations, including
the appropriation to the budget reserve account, in which case
the commissioner of revenue shall provide for partial inflation
adjustments sufficient to fund in full the appropriations.
(b) The suspension of inflation adjustments shall apply
only during the biennium in which the conditions specified in
paragraph (a) have been satisfied.
(c) For taxable years beginning during a calendar year in
which the inflation adjustments of the brackets, credits, and
maximum standard deduction are not made pursuant to this
subdivision, the taxable net income adjustment factor, as
defined in section 290.18, subdivision 4, shall be the
adjustment factor applicable to taxable years beginning during
the preceding calendar year. For taxable years beginning during
a calendar year in which the inflation adjustments are suspended
for one-half of the taxable year as a result of paragraph (b),
the taxable net income adjustment factor shall be determined by
multiplying the factor for the previous year by an amount equal
to the current year factor minus one, divided by two, plus one.
(d) For taxable years beginning during a calendar year in
which the inflation adjustments are suspended pursuant to this
subdivision and for which paragraph (b) will result in the
inflation adjustments being suspended for only one-half of the
taxable year, the commissioner of revenue shall adjust the
withholding tables, notwithstanding section 290.92, subdivision
2a, so that the additional tax imposed is withheld and remitted
by employers during the first six months of the taxable year as
if the suspension were in effect for the entire year.
