19.8 	(1) the difference between 90 percent and the current year payment percentage in 
19.9 	subdivision 2, paragraph (d), in the current fiscal year times the sum of the district or

19.12 	(2) the amount by which the district or charter school's net negative unreserved 
19.13 	general fund balance as of June 30 of the prior fiscal year exceeds 2.5 percent of the 
19.14 	district or charter school's expenditures for that fiscal year.

19.27 	cost aid under section 125A.79 for fiscal year 2006 and later equals 74.0 percent of the

35.33 	jurisdiction's market value credit reimbursements are reduced to less than zero under

36.4 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 289A.50, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
36.5 		Subdivision 1.General right to refund. (a) Subject to the requirements of this 
36.6 	section and section 289A.40, a taxpayer who has paid a tax in excess of the taxes lawfully 
36.7 	due and who files a written claim for refund will be refunded or credited the overpayment 
36.8 	of the tax determined by the commissioner to be erroneously paid.
36.9 	(b) The claim must specify the name of the taxpayer, the date when and the period 
36.10 	for which the tax was paid, the kind of tax paid, the amount of the tax that the taxpayer 
36.11 	claims was erroneously paid, the grounds on which a refund is claimed, and other 
36.12 	information relative to the payment and in the form required by the commissioner. An 
36.13 	income tax, estate tax, or corporate franchise tax return, or amended return claiming an 
36.14 	overpayment constitutes a claim for refund.
36.15 	(c) When, in the course of an examination, and within the time for requesting a 
36.16 	refund, the commissioner determines that there has been an overpayment of tax, the 
36.17 	commissioner shall refund or credit the overpayment to the taxpayer and no demand 
36.18 	is necessary. If the overpayment exceeds $1, the amount of the overpayment must 
36.19 	be refunded to the taxpayer. If the amount of the overpayment is less than $1, the 
36.20 	commissioner is not required to refund. In these situations, the commissioner does not 
36.21 	have to make written findings or serve notice by mail to the taxpayer.
36.22 	(d) If the amount allowable as a credit for withholding, estimated taxes, or dependent 
36.23 	care exceeds the tax against which the credit is allowable, the amount of the excess is 
36.24 	considered an overpayment. ~~The refund allowed by section 290.06, subdivision 23, is also~~ 
36.25 	~~considered an overpayment.~~ The requirements of section 270C.33 do not apply to the 
36.26 	refunding of such an overpayment shown on the original return filed by a taxpayer.
36.27 	(e) If the entertainment tax withheld at the source exceeds by $1 or more the taxes, 
36.28 	penalties, and interest reported in the return of the entertainment entity or imposed by 
36.29 	section 290.9201, the excess must be refunded to the entertainment entity. If the excess is 
36.30 	less than $1, the commissioner need not refund that amount.
36.31 	(f) If the surety deposit required for a construction contract exceeds the liability of 
36.32 	the out-of-state contractor, the commissioner shall refund the difference to the contractor.
36.33 	(g) An action of the commissioner in refunding the amount of the overpayment does 
36.34 	not constitute a determination of the correctness of the return of the taxpayer.
37.1 	(h) There is appropriated from the general fund to the commissioner of revenue the 
37.2 	amount necessary to pay refunds allowed under this section.

52.19 	as approved by the commissioner. In determining which dentists and dental clinics shall 
52.20 	be deemed critical access dental providers, the commissioner shall review:

54.26 	for the restaurant meal allowance, whichever occurs first.
54.27 	(e) A fee of ten percent of the recipient's gross income or $25, whichever is less, 
54.28 	is allowed for representative payee services provided by an agency that meets the

54.30 	special need is available to all recipients of Minnesota supplemental aid regardless of 
54.31 	their living arrangement.
54.32 	(f)(1) Notwithstanding the language in this subdivision, an amount equal to the

54.34 	which is in effect on the first day of July of each year will be added to the standards of

55.20 	building of six or more units. The maximum number of units that may be used by 
55.21 	recipients of this program shall be 50 percent of the units in a building. The department
