  1.18                            PROPERTY TAX 
  1.19     Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 
  1.20  273.13, subdivision 24, is amended to read: 
  1.21     Subd. 24.  [CLASS 3.] (a) Commercial and industrial 
  1.22  property and utility real and personal property is class 3a.  
  1.23  Each parcel of real property has a class rate of 2.4 2.0 percent 
  1.24  of the first tier of market value, and 3.4 percent of the 
  1.25  remaining market value, except that in the case of contiguous 
  1.26  parcels of property owned by the same person or entity, only the 
  1.27  value equal to the first-tier value of the contiguous parcels 
  1.28  qualifies for the reduced class rate.  For the purposes of this 
  1.29  subdivision, the first tier means the first $150,000 $350,000 of 
  1.30  market value.  Real property owned in fee by a utility for 
  2.1   transmission line right-of-way shall be classified at the class 
  2.2   rate for the higher tier.  All personal property shall be 
  2.3   classified at the class rate for the higher tier.  For purposes 
  2.4   of this subdivision "personal property" means tools, implements, 
  2.5   and machinery of an electric generating, transmission, or 
  2.6   distribution system, or a pipeline system transporting or 
  2.7   distributing water, gas, crude oil, or petroleum products or 
  2.8   mains and pipes used in the distribution of steam or hot or 
  2.9   chilled water for heating or cooling buildings, which are 
  2.10  fixtures. 
  2.11     For purposes of this paragraph, parcels are considered to 
  2.12  be contiguous even if they are separated from each other by a 
  2.13  road, street, vacant lot, waterway, or other similar intervening 
  2.14  type of property. 
  2.15     (b) Employment property defined in section 469.166, during 
  2.16  the period provided in section 469.170, shall constitute class 
  2.17  3b.  The class rates for class 3b property are determined under 
  2.18  paragraph (a). 
  2.19     (c)(1) Subject to the limitations of clause (2), structures 
  2.20  which are (i) located on property classified as class 3a, (ii) 
  2.21  constructed under an initial building permit issued after 
  2.22  January 2, 1996, (iii) located in a transit zone as defined 
  2.23  under section 473.3915, subdivision 3, (iv) located within the 
  2.24  boundaries of a school district, and (v) not primarily used for 
  2.25  retail or transient lodging purposes, shall have a class rate 
  2.26  equal to the lesser of 2.975 percent or the class rate of the 
  2.27  second tier of the commercial property rate under paragraph (a) 
  2.28  on any portion of the market value that does not qualify for the 
  2.29  first tier class rate under paragraph (a).  As used in item (v), 
  2.30  a structure is primarily used for retail or transient lodging 
  2.31  purposes if over 50 percent of its square footage is used for 
  2.32  those purposes.  A class rate equal to the lesser of 2.975 
  2.33  percent or the class rate of the second tier of the commercial 
  2.34  property class rate under paragraph (a) shall also apply to 
  2.35  improvements to existing structures that meet the requirements 
  2.36  of items (i) to (v) if the improvements are constructed under an 
  3.1   initial building permit issued after January 2, 1996, even if 
  3.2   the remainder of the structure was constructed prior to January 
  3.3   2, 1996.  For the purposes of this paragraph, a structure shall 
  3.4   be considered to be located in a transit zone if any portion of 
  3.5   the structure lies within the zone.  If any property once 
  3.6   eligible for treatment under this paragraph ceases to remain 
  3.7   eligible due to revisions in transit zone boundaries, the 
  3.8   property shall continue to receive treatment under this 
  3.9   paragraph for a period of three years. 
  3.10     (2) This clause applies to any structure qualifying for the 
  3.11  transit zone reduced class rate under clause (1) on January 2, 
  3.12  1999, or any structure meeting any of the qualification criteria 
  3.13  in item (i) and otherwise qualifying for the transit zone 
  3.14  reduced class rate under clause (1).  Such a structure continues 
  3.15  to receive the transit zone reduced class rate until the 
  3.16  occurrence of one of the events in item (ii).  Property 
  3.17  qualifying under item (i)(D), that is located outside of a city 
  3.18  of the first class, qualifies for the transit zone reduced class 
  3.19  rate as provided in that item.  Property qualifying under item 
  3.20  (i)(E) qualifies for the transit zone reduced class rate as 
  3.21  provided in that item. 
  3.22     (i) A structure qualifies for the rate in this clause if it 
  3.23  is: 
  3.24     (A) property for which a building permit was issued before 
  3.25  December 31, 1998; or 
  3.26     (B) property for which a building permit was issued before 
  3.27  June 30, 2001, if: 
  3.28     (I) at least 50 percent of the land on which the structure 
  3.29  is to be built has been acquired or is the subject of signed 
  3.30  purchase agreements or signed options as of March 15, 1998, by 
  3.31  the entity that proposes construction of the project or an 
  3.32  affiliate of the entity; 
  3.33     (II) signed agreements have been entered into with one 
  3.34  entity or with affiliated entities to lease for the account of 
  3.35  the entity or affiliated entities at least 50 percent of the 
  3.36  square footage of the structure or the owner of the structure 
  4.1   will occupy at least 50 percent of the square footage of the 
  4.2   structure; and 
  4.3      (III) one of the following requirements is met: 
  4.4      the project proposer has submitted the completed data 
  4.5   portions of an environmental assessment worksheet by December 
  4.6   31, 1998; or 
  4.7      a notice of determination of adequacy of an environmental 
  4.8   impact statement has been published by April 1, 1999; or 
  4.9      an alternative urban areawide review has been completed by 
  4.10  April 1, 1999; or 
  4.11     (C) property for which a building permit is issued before 
  4.12  July 30, 1999, if: 
  4.13     (I) at least 50 percent of the land on which the structure 
  4.14  is to be built has been acquired or is the subject of signed 
  4.15  purchase agreements as of March 31, 1998, by the entity that 
  4.16  proposes construction of the project or an affiliate of the 
  4.17  entity; 
  4.18     (II) a signed agreement has been entered into between the 
  4.19  building developer and a tenant to lease for its own account at 
  4.20  least 200,000 square feet of space in the building; 
  4.21     (III) a signed letter of intent is entered into by July 1, 
  4.22  1998, between the building developer and the tenant to lease the 
  4.23  space for its own account; and 
  4.24     (IV) the environmental review process required by state law 
  4.25  was commenced by December 31, 1998; 
  4.26     (D) property for which an irrevocable letter of credit with 
  4.27  a housing and redevelopment authority was signed before December 
  4.28  31, 1998.  The structure shall receive the transit zone reduced 
  4.29  class rate during construction and for the duration of time that 
  4.30  the original tenants remain in the building.  Any unoccupied net 
  4.31  leasable square footage that is not leased within 36 months 
  4.32  after the certificate of occupancy has been issued for the 
  4.33  building shall not be eligible to receive the reduced class 
  4.34  rate.  This reduced class rate applies only if the entity that 
  4.35  constructed the structure continues to own the property; 
  4.36     (E) property, located in a city of the first class, and for 
  5.1   which the building permits for the excavation, the parking ramp, 
  5.2   and the office tower were issued prior to April 1, 1999, shall 
  5.3   receive the reduced class rate during construction and for the 
  5.4   first five assessment years immediately following its initial 
  5.5   occupancy provided that, when completed, at least 25 percent of 
  5.6   the net leasable square footage must be occupied by the entity 
  5.7   or the parent entity constructing the structure each year during 
  5.8   this time period.  In order to receive the reduced class rate on 
  5.9   the structure in any subsequent assessment years, at least 50 
  5.10  percent of the rentable square footage must be occupied by the 
  5.11  entity or the parent entity that constructed the structure.  
  5.12  This reduced class rate applies only if the entity or the parent 
  5.13  entity that constructed the structure continues to own the 
  5.14  property. 
  5.15     (ii) A structure specified by this clause, other than a 
  5.16  structure qualifying under clause (i)(D) or (E), shall continue 
  5.17  to receive the transit zone reduced class rate until the 
  5.18  occurrence of one of the following events: 
  5.19     (A) if the structure upon initial occupancy will be owner 
  5.20  occupied by the entity initially constructing the structure or 
  5.21  an affiliated entity, the structure receives the reduced class 
  5.22  rate until the structure ceases to be at least 50 percent 
  5.23  occupied by the entity or an affiliated entity, provided, if the 
  5.24  portion of the structure occupied by that entity or an affiliate 
  5.25  of the entity is less than 85 percent, the transit zone class 
  5.26  rate reduction for the portion of structure not so occupied 
  5.27  terminates upon the leasing of such space to any nonaffiliated 
  5.28  entity; or 
  5.29     (B) if the structure is leased by a single entity or 
  5.30  affiliated entity at the time of initial occupancy, the 
  5.31  structure shall receive the reduced class rate until the 
  5.32  structure ceases to be at least 50 percent occupied by the 
  5.33  entity or an affiliated entity, provided, if the portion of the 
  5.34  structure occupied by that entity or an affiliate of the entity 
  5.35  is less than 85 percent, the transit zone class rate reduction 
  5.36  for the portion of structure not so occupied shall terminate 
  6.1   upon the leasing of such space to any nonaffiliated entity; or 
  6.2      (C) if the structure meets the criteria in item (i)(C), the 
  6.3   structure shall receive the reduced class rate until the 
  6.4   expiration of the initial lease term of the applicable tenants. 
  6.5      Percentages occupied or leased shall be determined based 
  6.6   upon net leasable square footage in the structure.  The assessor 
  6.7   shall allocate the value of the structure in the same fashion as 
  6.8   provided in the general law for portions of any structure 
  6.9   receiving and not receiving the transit tax class reduction as a 
  6.10  result of this clause. 
  6.11     Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section

  7.26  more than 250 days in the year preceding the year of 
  7.27  assessment.  For purposes of this clause, property is devoted to 
  7.28  a commercial purpose on a specific day if any portion of the 
  7.29  property is used for residential occupancy, and a fee is charged 
  7.30  for residential occupancy.  In order for a property to be

  8.7   counted as two bookings.  Class 4c also includes commercial use 
  8.8   real property used exclusively for recreational purposes in 
  8.9   conjunction with class 4c property devoted to temporary and

  8.12  commercial recreational use for more than 250 days in the year 
  8.13  preceding the year of assessment and is located within two miles 
  8.14  of the class 4c property with which it is used.  Class 4c 
  8.15  property classified in this clause also includes the remainder 
  8.16  of class 1c resorts provided that the entire property including 
  8.17  that portion of the property classified as class 1c also meets 
  8.18  the requirements for class 4c under this clause; otherwise the 
  8.19  entire property is classified as class 3.  Owners of real 
  8.20  property devoted to temporary and seasonal residential occupancy 
  8.21  for recreation purposes and all or a portion of which was 
  8.22  devoted to commercial purposes for not more than 250 days in the 
  8.23  year preceding the year of assessment desiring classification as 
  8.24  class 1c or 4c, must submit a declaration to the assessor 
  8.25  designating the cabins or units occupied for 250 days or less in 
  8.26  the year preceding the year of assessment by January 15 of the 
  8.27  assessment year.  Those cabins or units and a proportionate 
  8.28  share of the land on which they are located will be designated 
  8.29  class 1c or 4c as otherwise provided.  The remainder of the 
  8.30  cabins or units and a proportionate share of the land on which 
  8.31  they are located will be designated as class 3a.  The owner of 
  8.32  property desiring designation as class 1c or 4c property must 
  8.33  provide guest registers or other records demonstrating that the 
  8.34  units for which class 1c or 4c designation is sought were not 
  8.35  occupied for more than 250 days in the year preceding the 
  8.36  assessment if so requested.  The portion of a property operated 
  9.1   as a (1) restaurant, (2) bar, (3) gift shop, and (4) other 
  9.2   nonresidential facility operated on a commercial basis not 
  9.3   directly related to temporary and seasonal residential occupancy 
  9.4   for recreation purposes shall not qualify for class 1c or 4c; 
  9.5      (2) qualified property used as a golf course if:

  9.10  charged by municipal courses; and

  9.19  for more than six days in the calendar year preceding the year 
  9.20  of assessment and the property is not used for residential 
  9.21  purposes on either a temporary or permanent basis.  For purposes 
  9.22  of this clause, a "nonprofit community service oriented 
  9.23  organization" means any corporation, society, association, 
  9.24  foundation, or institution organized and operated exclusively 
  9.25  for charitable, religious, fraternal, civic, or educational 
  9.26  purposes, and which is exempt from federal income taxation 
  9.27  pursuant to section 501(c)(3), (10), or (19) of the Internal

 10.1   premises.  Any portion of the property which is used for 
 10.2   revenue-producing activities for more than six days in the 
 10.3   calendar year preceding the year of assessment shall be assessed 
 10.4   as class 3a.  The use of the property for social events open 
 10.5   exclusively to members and their guests for periods of less than 
 10.6   24 hours, when an admission is not charged nor any revenues are 
 10.7   received by the organization shall not be considered a 
 10.8   revenue-producing activity;

 10.21  473.121, subdivision 2. 
 10.22     Class 4c property has a class rate of 1.65 percent of 
 10.23  market value, except that (i) each parcel of seasonal 
 10.24  residential recreational property not used for commercial 
 10.25  purposes has the same class rates as class 4bb property, (ii) 
 10.26  manufactured home parks assessed under clause (5) have the same 
 10.27  class rate as class 4b property, and (iii) property described in 
 10.28  paragraph (d), clause (4), has the same class rate as the rate 
 10.29  applicable to the first tier of class 4bb nonhomestead 
 10.30  residential real estate under paragraph (c).

 10.33  under sections 273.126 and 462A.071.  Class 4d includes land in 
 10.34  proportion to the total market value of the building that is 
 10.35  qualifying low-income rental housing.  For all properties 
 10.36  qualifying as class 4d, the market value determined by the 
 11.1   assessor must be based on the normal approach to value using

 11.4   value.  
 11.5      Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 
 11.6   273.1382, subdivision 1b, is amended to read:

 11.11  percent, in the case of agricultural homestead property, or 50 
 11.12  percent, in the case of agricultural nonhomestead property or 
 11.13  timberland, of the property's net tax capacity times the 
 11.14  education credit tax rate determined in subdivision 1.  The net 
 11.15  tax capacity of class 2a property attributable to the house, 
 11.16  garage, and surrounding one acre of land is not eligible for the

 11.34     (b) For aids payable in 2001, the tax base differential is: 
 11.35     (1) 0.4 percent of the assessment year 1999 taxable market 
 11.36  value of class 4a property which was subject to a class rate of

 12.8   not more than $350,000. 
 12.9      (b) (c) For the purposes of the distribution of homestead 
 12.10  and agricultural credit aid for aids payable in 2000 a calendar 
 12.11  year, the commissioner of revenue shall may use the best 
 12.12  information available as of June 30, 1999, of the previous 
 12.13  calendar year to make an estimate of the value described in 
 12.14  paragraph (a), clause (1) any values described in this 
 12.15  subdivision for which data is not available.  The commissioner 
 12.16  shall adjust the distribution of homestead and agricultural

 12.18  information regarding the value described in paragraph (a), 
 12.19  clause (1), becomes available after June 30, 1999.

 12.26     Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 
 12.27  290.01, subdivision 19b, is amended to read: 
 12.28     Subd. 19b.  [SUBTRACTIONS FROM FEDERAL TAXABLE INCOME.] For 
 12.29  individuals, estates, and trusts, there shall be subtracted from 
 12.30  federal taxable income: 
 12.31     (1) interest income on obligations of any authority, 
 12.32  commission, or instrumentality of the United States to the 
 12.33  extent includable in taxable income for federal income tax 
 12.34  purposes but exempt from state income tax under the laws of the 
 12.35  United States; 
 12.36     (2) if included in federal taxable income, the amount of 
 13.1   any overpayment of income tax to Minnesota or to any other 
 13.2   state, for any previous taxable year, whether the amount is 
 13.3   received as a refund or as a credit to another taxable year's 
 13.4   income tax liability; 
 13.5      (3) the amount paid to others, less the credit allowed 
 13.6   under section 290.0674, not to exceed $1,625 for each qualifying 
 13.7   child in grades kindergarten to 6 and $2,500 for each qualifying 
 13.8   child in grades 7 to 12, for tuition, textbooks, and 
 13.9   transportation of each qualifying child in attending an 
 13.10  elementary or secondary school situated in Minnesota, North 
 13.11  Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, or Wisconsin, wherein a resident of 
 13.12  this state may legally fulfill the state's compulsory attendance 
 13.13  laws, which is not operated for profit, and which adheres to the 
 13.14  provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and chapter 363.  For 
 13.15  the purposes of this clause, "tuition" includes fees or tuition 
 13.16  as defined in section 290.0674, subdivision 1, clause (1).  As 
 13.17  used in this clause, "textbooks" includes books and other 
 13.18  instructional materials and equipment used in elementary and 
 13.19  secondary schools in teaching only those subjects legally and 
 13.20  commonly taught in public elementary and secondary schools in 
 13.21  this state.  Equipment expenses qualifying for deduction 
 13.22  includes expenses as defined and limited in section 290.0674, 
 13.23  subdivision 1, clause (3).  "Textbooks" does not include 
 13.24  instructional books and materials used in the teaching of 
 13.25  religious tenets, doctrines, or worship, the purpose of which is 
 13.26  to instill such tenets, doctrines, or worship, nor does it 
 13.27  include books or materials for, or transportation to, 
 13.28  extracurricular activities including sporting events, musical or 
 13.29  dramatic events, speech activities, driver's education, or 
 13.30  similar programs.  For purposes of the subtraction provided by 
 13.31  this clause, "qualifying child" has the meaning given in section 
 13.32  32(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; 
 13.33     (4) contributions made in taxable years beginning after 
 13.34  December 31, 1981, and before January 1, 1985, to a qualified 
 13.35  governmental pension plan, an individual retirement account, 
 13.36  simplified employee pension, or qualified plan covering a 
 14.1   self-employed person that were included in Minnesota gross 
 14.2   income in the taxable year for which the contributions were made 
 14.3   but were deducted or were not included in the computation of 
 14.4   federal adjusted gross income, less any amount allowed to be 
 14.5   subtracted as a distribution under this subdivision or a 
 14.6   predecessor provision in taxable years that began before January 
 14.7   1, 2000.  This subtraction applies only for taxable years 
 14.8   beginning after December 31, 1999, and before January 1, 2001; 
 14.9      (5) income as provided under section 290.0802;

 14.16  taxable income, the amount paid for health insurance of 
 14.17  self-employed individuals as determined under section 162(l) of 
 14.18  the Internal Revenue Code, except that the percent limit does 
 14.19  not apply.  If the taxpayer deducted insurance payments under 
 14.20  section 213 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the 
 14.21  subtraction under this clause must be reduced by the lesser of: 
 14.22     (i) the total itemized deductions allowed under section 
 14.23  63(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, less state, local, and 
 14.24  foreign income taxes deductible under section 164 of the 
 14.25  Internal Revenue Code and the standard deduction under section 
 14.26  63(c) of the Internal Revenue Code; or 
 14.27     (ii) the lesser of (A) the amount of insurance qualifying 
 14.28  as "medical care" under section 213(d) of the Internal Revenue 
 14.29  Code to the extent not deducted under section 162(1) of the 
 14.30  Internal Revenue Code or excluded from income or (B) the total 
 14.31  amount deductible for medical care under section 213(a);

 15.2      (11) to the extent not deducted in determining federal 
 15.3   taxable income by an individual who does not itemize deductions 
 15.4   for federal income tax purposes for the taxable year, an amount 
 15.5   equal to 50 percent of the excess of charitable contributions 
 15.6   allowable as a deduction for the taxable year under section 
 15.7   170(a) of the Internal Revenue Code over $500; and 
 15.8      (12) to the extent included in federal taxable income, 
 15.9   holocaust victims' settlement payments for any injury incurred 
 15.10  as a result of the holocaust, if received by an individual who

 15.12  or any other Axis regime or an heir of such a person; and 
 15.13     (13) an amount equal to $900 for each of the taxpayer's 
 15.14  personal and dependent exemptions, as defined in sections 151 
 15.15  and 152 of the Internal Revenue Code, and allowed on the 
 15.16  taxpayer's federal income tax return for the tax year. 
 15.17     Sec. 2.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
 15.18     Section 1 is effective for taxable years beginning after 
 15.19  December 31, 1999.

 15.21                          SALES TAX REBATE 
 15.22     Section 1.  [STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.] 
 15.23     (a) The state of Minnesota derives revenues from a variety 
 15.24  of taxes, fees, and other sources, including the state sales tax.
 15.25     (b) It is fair and reasonable to refund the existing state 
 15.26  budget surplus in the form of a rebate of nonbusiness consumer 
 15.27  sales taxes paid by individuals in calendar year 1998. 
 15.28     (c) Information concerning the amount of sales tax paid at 
 15.29  various income levels is contained in the Minnesota tax 
 15.30  incidence report, which is written by the commissioner of 
 15.31  revenue and presented to the legislature according to Minnesota 
 15.32  Statutes, section 270.0682. 
 15.33     (d) It is fair and reasonable to use information contained 
 15.34  in the Minnesota tax incidence report, updated to calendar year 
 15.35  1998, to determine the proportionate share of the sales tax 
 15.36  rebate due each eligible taxpayer since no effective or 
 16.1   practical mechanism exists for determining the amount of actual 
 16.2   sales tax paid by each eligible individual. 
 16.3      Sec. 2.  [SALES TAX REBATE.] 
 16.4      (a) An individual who: 
 16.5      (1) was eligible for a credit under Laws 1998, chapter 389, 
 16.6   article 1, section 1, and who filed for or received that credit 
 16.7   on or before June 15, 2000; or 
 16.8      (2) was a resident of Minnesota for any part of 1998, and 
 16.9   filed a 1998 Minnesota income tax return on or before June 15, 
 16.10  2000, and had a tax liability before refundable credits on that 
 16.11  return of at least $1 but did not file the claim for credit 
 16.12  authorized under Laws 1998, chapter 389, article 1, section 1, 
 16.13  as amended, and who was not allowed to be claimed as a dependent 
 16.14  on a 1998 federal income tax return filed by another person; or 
 16.15     (3) had the property taxes payable on his or her homestead 
 16.16  abated to zero under Laws 1998, chapter 383, section 20, shall 
 16.17  receive a sales tax rebate. 
 16.18     (b) The sales tax rebate for taxpayers who qualify under 
 16.19  paragraph (a) as married filing joint or head of household must 
 16.20  be computed according to the following schedule: 
 16.21       Income                                Sales Tax Rebate

 17.12     (c) The sales tax rebate for individuals who qualify under 
 17.13  paragraph (a) as single or married filing separately must be 
 17.14  computed according to the following schedule: 
 17.15   Income                                    Sales Tax Rebate
 17.16   less than $2,500                                $79
 17.17   at least $2,500 but less than $5,000            $97
 17.18   at least $5,000 but less than $10,000          $114
 17.19   at least $10,000 but less than $15,000         $153
 17.20   at least $15,000 but less than $20,000         $175
 17.21   at least $20,000 but less than $25,000         $190
 17.22   at least $25,000 but less than $30,000         $198
 17.23   at least $30,000 but less than $40,000         $216
 17.24   at least $40,000 but less than $50,000         $242
 17.25   at least $50,000 but less than $70,000         $285
 17.26   at least $70,000 but less than $100,000        $362
 17.27   at least $100,000 but less than $140,000       $436
 17.28   at least $140,000 but less than $200,000       $527
 17.29   at least $200,000 but less than $400,000       $714
 17.30   at least $400,000 but less than $600,000       $940
 17.31   $600,000 and over                            $1,000
 17.32     (d) Individuals who were not residents of Minnesota for any 
 17.33  part of 1998 and who paid more than $10 in Minnesota sales tax 
 17.34  on nonbusiness consumer purchases in that year qualify for a 
 17.35  rebate under this paragraph only.  Qualifying nonresidents must 
 17.36  file a claim for rebate on a form prescribed by the commissioner 
 18.1   before the later of June 15, 2000, or 30 days after the date of 
 18.2   enactment of this act.  The claim must include receipts showing 
 18.3   the Minnesota sales tax paid and the date of the sale.  Taxes 
 18.4   paid on purchases allowed in the computation of federal taxable 
 18.5   income or reimbursed by an employer are not eligible for the 
 18.6   rebate.  The commissioner shall determine the qualifying taxes 
 18.7   paid and rebate the lesser of: 
 18.8      (1) 24.75 percent of that amount; or 
 18.9      (2) the maximum amount for which the claimant would have 
 18.10  been eligible as determined under paragraph (b) if the taxpayer 
 18.11  filed the 1998 federal income tax return as a married taxpayer 
 18.12  filing jointly or head of household, or as determined under 
 18.13  paragraph (c) for other taxpayers. 
 18.14     (e) "Income," for purposes of this section other than 
 18.15  paragraph (d), is taxable income as defined in section 63 of the 
 18.16  Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended through December 31, 
 18.17  1997, plus the sum of any additions to federal taxable income 
 18.18  for the taxpayer under Minnesota Statutes, section 290.01, 
 18.19  subdivision 19a, and reported on the original 1998 income tax 
 18.20  return, including subsequent adjustments to that return made 
 18.21  within the time limits specified in paragraph (i).  For an 
 18.22  individual who was a resident of Minnesota for less than the 
 18.23  entire year, the sales tax rebate equals the sales tax rebate 
 18.24  calculated under paragraph (b) or (c) multiplied by the 
 18.25  percentage determined pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 
 18.26  290.06, subdivision 2c, paragraph (e), as calculated on the 
 18.27  original 1998 income tax return, including subsequent 
 18.28  adjustments to that return made within the time limits specified 
 18.29  in paragraph (i).  For purposes of paragraph (d), "income" is 
 18.30  taxable income as defined in section 63 of the Internal Revenue 
 18.31  Code of 1986, as amended through December 31, 1997, and reported 
 18.32  on the taxpayer's original federal tax return for the first 
 18.33  taxable year beginning after December 31, 1997. 
 18.34     (f) For a fiscal year taxpayer, the June 15, 2000, dates in 
 18.35  paragraphs (a) through (d) are extended one month for each month 
 18.36  in calendar year 1998 that occurred prior to the start of the 
 19.1   individual's 1998 fiscal tax year. 
 19.2      (g) Before payment, the commissioner of revenue shall 
 19.3   adjust the rebate as follows: 
 19.4      the rebates calculated in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) must 
 19.5   be proportionately reduced to account for 1998 income tax 
 19.6   returns that are filed on or after January 1, 2000, but before 
 19.7   July 1, 2000, so that the amount of sales tax rebates payable 
 19.8   under paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) does not exceed 
 19.9   $497,000,000.  The adjustment under this paragraph is not a rule 
 19.10  subject to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 14. 
 19.11     (h) The commissioner of revenue may begin making sales tax 
 19.12  rebates by August 1, 2000.  Sales tax rebates not paid by 
 19.13  September 1, 2000, bear interest at the rate specified in 
 19.14  Minnesota Statutes, section 270.75. 
 19.15     (i) A sales tax rebate shall not be adjusted based on 
 19.16  changes to a 1998 income tax return that are made by order of 
 19.17  assessment after June 15, 2000, or made by the taxpayer that are 
 19.18  filed with the commissioner of revenue after June 15, 2000. 
 19.19     (j) Individuals who filed a joint income tax return for 
 19.20  1998 shall receive a joint sales tax rebate.  After the sales 
 19.21  tax rebate has been issued, but before the check has been 
 19.22  cashed, either joint claimant may request a separate check for 
 19.23  one-half of the joint sales tax rebate.  Notwithstanding 
 19.24  anything in this section to the contrary, if prior to payment, 
 19.25  the commissioner has been notified that persons who filed a 
 19.26  joint 1998 income tax return are living at separate addresses, 
 19.27  as indicated on their 1999 income tax return or otherwise, the 
 19.28  commissioner may issue separate checks to each person.  The 
 19.29  amount payable to each person is one-half of the total joint 
 19.30  rebate. 
 19.31     (k) If a rebate is received by the estate of a deceased 
 19.32  individual after the probate estate has been closed, and if the 
 19.33  original rebate check is returned to the commissioner with a 
 19.34  copy of the decree of descent or final account of the estate, 
 19.35  social security numbers, and addresses of the beneficiaries, the 
 19.36  commissioner may issue separate checks in proportion to their 
 20.1   share in the residuary estate in the names of the residuary 
 20.2   beneficiaries of the estate. 
 20.3      (l) The sales tax rebate is a "Minnesota tax law" for 
 20.4   purposes of Minnesota Statutes, section 270B.01, subdivision 8. 
 20.5      (m) The sales tax rebate is "an overpayment of any tax 
 20.6   collected by the commissioner" for purposes of Minnesota 
 20.7   Statutes, section 270.07, subdivision 5.  For purposes of this 
 20.8   paragraph, a joint sales tax rebate is payable to each spouse 
 20.9   equally. 
 20.10     (n) If the commissioner of revenue cannot locate an 
 20.11  individual entitled to a sales tax rebate by July 1, 2002, or if 
 20.12  an individual to whom a sales tax rebate was issued has not 
 20.13  cashed the check by July 1, 2002, the right to the sales tax 
 20.14  rebate lapses and the check must be deposited in the general 
 20.15  fund. 
 20.16     (o) Individuals entitled to a sales tax rebate pursuant to 
 20.17  paragraph (a), but who did not receive one, and individuals who 
 20.18  receive a sales tax rebate that was not correctly computed, must 
 20.19  file a claim with the commissioner before July 1, 2001, in a 
 20.20  form prescribed by the commissioner.  These claims must be 
 20.21  treated as if they are a claim for refund under Minnesota 
 20.22  Statutes, section 289A.50, subdivisions 4 and 7. 
 20.23     (p) The sales tax rebate is a refund subject to revenue 
 20.24  recapture under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 270A.  The 
 20.25  commissioner of revenue shall remit the entire refund to the 
 20.26  claimant agency, which shall, upon the request of the spouse who 
 20.27  does not owe the debt, refund one-half of the joint sales tax 
 20.28  rebate to the spouse who does not owe the debt. 
 20.29     (q) The rebate is a reduction of fiscal year 2000 sales tax 
 20.30  revenues.  The amount necessary to make the sales tax rebates 
 20.31  and interest provided in this section is appropriated from the 
 20.32  general fund to the commissioner of revenue in fiscal year 2000 
 20.33  and is available until June 30, 2002. 
 20.34     (r) If a sales tax rebate check is cashed by someone other 
 20.35  than the payee or payees of the check, and the commissioner of 
 20.36  revenue determines that the check has been forged or improperly 
 21.1   endorsed or the commissioner determines that a rebate was 
 21.2   overstated or erroneously issued, the commissioner may issue an 
 21.3   order of assessment for the amount of the check or the amount 
 21.4   the check is overstated against the person or persons cashing 
 21.5   it.  The assessment must be made within two years after the 
 21.6   check is cashed, but if cashing the check constitutes theft 
 21.7   under Minnesota Statutes, section 609.52, or forgery under 
 21.8   Minnesota Statutes, section 609.631, the assessment can be made 
 21.9   at any time.  The assessment may be appealed administratively 
 21.10  and judicially.  The commissioner may take action to collect the 
 21.11  assessment in the same manner as provided by Minnesota Statutes, 
 21.12  chapter 289A, for any other order of the commissioner assessing 
 21.13  tax. 
 21.14     (s) Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, sections 9.031, 
 21.15  16A.40, 16B.49, 16B.50, and any other law to the contrary, the 
 21.16  commissioner of revenue may take whatever actions the 
 21.17  commissioner deems necessary to pay the rebates required by this 
 21.18  section, and may, in consultation with the commissioner of 
 21.19  finance and the state treasurer, contract with a private vendor 
 21.20  or vendors to process, print, and mail the rebate checks or 
 21.21  warrants required under this section and receive and disburse 
 21.22  state funds to pay those checks or warrants. 
 21.23     (t) The commissioner may pay rebates required by this 
 21.24  section by electronic funds transfer to individuals who 
 21.25  requested that their 1999 individual income tax refund be paid 
 21.26  through electronic funds transfer.  The commissioner may make 
 21.27  the electronic funds transfer payments to the same financial 
 21.28  institution and into the same account as the 1999 individual 
 21.29  income tax refund. 
 21.30     Sec. 3.  [APPROPRIATION.] 
 21.31     $....... is appropriated from the general fund to the 
 21.32  commissioner of revenue to administer the sales tax rebate for 
 21.33  fiscal year 2000.  Any unencumbered balance remaining on June 
 21.34  30, 2000, does not cancel but is available for expenditure by 
 21.35  the commissioner of revenue until June 30, 2002.  This is a 
 21.36  one-time appropriation and may not be added to the agency's 
 22.1   budget base.
