68.19 	payment at maturity of the appropriation bonds to be refunded, to the redemption of the

72.19 	payment at maturity of the appropriation bonds to be refunded, to the redemption of the 
72.20 	outstanding appropriation bonds on any redemption date, or to pay interest on the refunding 
72.21 	bonds and may, pending application, be placed in escrow to be applied to the purchase,

89.13 	(3) the need for facilities could be met within the district or adjacent districts at a 
89.14 	comparable cost by leasing, repairing, remodeling, or sharing existing facilities or by using 
89.15 	temporary facilities;

89.22 	requirements of subdivision 3, the commissioner may use additional requirements to 
89.23 	determine a positive review and comment on projects that are designed to serve more than 
89.24 	one district. These requirements may include:
89.25 	(1) reducing or increasing the number of districts that plan to use the facility;
89.26 	(2) location of the facility; and
89.27 	(3) formation of a joint powers agreement among the participating districts.

89.30 	adjacent district must make a written evaluation of how the project will affect the future 
89.31 	education and building needs of the adjacent district. The board must submit the evaluation 
89.32 	to the applying district within 30 days of the meeting.
90.1 		Subd. 6.District application for capital grant and loan. The school board of a district 
90.2 	desiring a capital grant and loan shall adopt a resolution stating the amount proposed to be 
90.3 	borrowed funded, the purpose for which the debt is to be incurred funding is requested, and 
90.4 	an estimate of the dates when the facilities for which the loan funding is requested will be 
90.5 	contracted for and completed. Applications for grants and loans must be accompanied by 
90.6 	a copy of the adopted board resolution and copies of the adjacent district evaluations. The 
90.7 	commissioner shall retain the evaluation as part of a permanent record of the district 
90.8 	submitting the evaluation.
90.9 	Applications must be in the form and accompanied by the additional data required by 
90.10 	the commissioner. Applications must be received by the commissioner by September 1 of 
90.11 	an odd-numbered year. A district must resubmit an application each odd-numbered year. 
90.12 	Capital grant and loan applications that do not receive voter approval or are not approved 
90.13 	in law cancel July 1 of the year following application. When an application is received, the 
90.14 	commissioner shall obtain from the commissioner of revenue the information in the Revenue 
90.15 	Department's official records that is required to be used in computing the debt limit of the 
90.16 	district under section 475.53, subdivision 4.
90.17 		Subd. 7.Commissioner review; district proposals. By November 1 of each 
90.18 	odd-numbered year, the commissioner must review all applications for capital grants and 
90.19 	loans that have received a positive review and comment. When reviewing applications, the 
90.20 	commissioner must consider whether the criteria in subdivision 3 have been met. The 
90.21 	commissioner may not approve an application if all of the required deadlines have not been 
90.22 	met. The commissioner may either approve or reject an application for a capital grant and 
90.23 	loan.
90.24 		Subd. 8.Commissioner recommendations. The commissioner shall examine and 
90.25 	consider applications for capital grants and loans that have been approved and promptly 
90.26 	notify any district rejected of the decision.
90.27 	The commissioner shall report each capital grant and loan that has been approved by 
90.28 	the commissioner and that has received voter approval to the education committees of the 
90.29 	legislature by January 1 of each even-numbered year. The commissioner must not report a 
90.30 	capital grant and loan that has not received voter approval. The commissioner shall also 
90.31 	report on the money remaining in the capital loan account and, if necessary, request that 
90.32 	another bond issue be authorized.
90.33 		Subd. 9.Grant and loan amount limits. (a) A grant and loan must not be recommended 
90.34 	for approval for a district exceeding an amount computed as follows:
91.1 	(1) the amount requested by the district under subdivision 6;
91.2 	(2) plus the aggregate principal amount of general obligation bonds of the district 
91.3 	outstanding on June 30 of the year following the year the application was received, not 
91.4 	exceeding the limitation on net debt of the district in section 475.53, subdivision 4, or 637 
91.5 	percent of its adjusted net tax capacity as most recently determined, whichever is less;
91.6 	(3) less the maximum net debt permissible for the district on December 1 of the year 
91.7 	the application is received, under the limitation in section 475.53, subdivision 4, or 637 
91.8 	percent of its adjusted net tax capacity as most recently determined, whichever is less;
91.9 	(4) less any amount by which the amount voted exceeds the total cost of the facilities 
91.10 	for which the grant and loan is granted approved.
91.11 	(b) The grant and loan may be approved in an amount computed as provided in paragraph 
91.12 	(a), clauses (1) to (3), subject to later reduction according to paragraph (a), clause (4).
91.13 	(c) The loan amount equals the lesser of the total grant and loan approved or:
91.14 	(i) the product of the maximum effort tax rate times 50 times the district's most recent 
91.15 	adjusted net tax capacity at the time the capital grant and loan is approved under subdivision 
91.16 	10, minus
91.17 	(ii) the district's capital loan balance outstanding at the time the capital grant and loan 
91.18 	is approved under subdivision 10, minus
91.19 	(iii) the district's principal and interest balance outstanding for eligible bonds issued for 
91.20 	prior capital projects at the time the capital loan and grant is approved.
91.21 	(d) The grant amount equals the difference between the total grant and loan approved 
91.22 	and the loan amount under paragraph (c).
91.23 		Subd. 10.Legislative action. Each capital grant and loan must be approved in a law.
91.24 	If the aggregate amount of the capital grants and loans exceeds the amount that is or can 
91.25 	be made available, the commissioner shall allot the available amount among any number 
91.26 	of qualified applicant districts, according to the commissioner's judgment and discretion, 
91.27 	based upon the districts' respective needs.
91.28 		Subd. 11.District referendum. After receipt of the review and comment on the project 
91.29 	and before January 1 of the even-numbered year, the question authorizing the borrowing 
91.30 	of money for the facilities must be submitted by the school board to the voters of the district 
91.31 	at a regular or special election. The question submitted must state the total amount to be 
91.32 	borrowed from all sources. Approval of a majority of those voting on the question is sufficient 
92.1 	to authorize the issuance of the obligations on public sale in accordance with chapter 475. 
92.2 	The face of the ballot must include the following statement: "APPROVAL OF THIS 
92.3 	QUESTION DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL 
92.4 	RECEIVE A CAPITAL GRANT AND LOAN FROM THE STATE. THE GRANT AND 
92.5 	LOAN MUST BE APPROVED BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND IS DEPENDENT 
92.6 	ON AVAILABLE FUNDING." The district must mail to the commissioner a certificate by 
92.7 	the clerk showing the vote at the election.
92.8 		Subd. 12.Contract. (a) Each capital grant and loan must be evidenced by a contract 
92.9 	between the district and the state acting through the commissioner. The contract must 
92.10 	obligate the state to reimburse the district, from the maximum effort school loan fund, for 
92.11 	eligible capital expenses for construction of the facility for which the grant and loan is 
92.12 	granted approved, an amount computed as provided in subdivision 9. The commissioner 
92.13 	must receive from the district a certified resolution of the board estimating the costs of 
92.14 	construction and reciting that contracts for construction of the facilities for which the grant 
92.15 	and loan is granted approved have been awarded, that bonds of the district have been issued 
92.16 	and sold or that other district funds have been set aside in the amount necessary to pay all 
92.17 	estimated costs of construction in excess of the amount of the grant and loan, and that all 
92.18 	work, when completed, meets or exceeds standards established in the State Building Code. 
92.19 	The contract must obligate the district to repay the loan out of the excesses of its maximum 
92.20 	effort debt service levy over its required debt service levy, including interest at a rate equal 
92.21 	to the weighted average annual rate payable on Minnesota state school loan bonds issued 
92.22 	or reissued for the project. Beginning July 1, 2020, no interest assessments shall be made 
92.23 	on capital loan balances.
92.24 	(b) The district must each year, as long as it is indebted to the state, levy for debt service 
92.25 	(i) the amount of its maximum effort debt service levy or (ii) the amount of its required debt 
92.26 	service levy, whichever is greater, except as the required debt service levy may be reduced 
92.27 	by a loan under section 126C.68. The district shall remit payments to the commissioner 
92.28 	according to section 126C.71. The actual debt service levy shall be adjusted under section 
92.29 	477A.09.
92.30 	(c) The commissioner shall supervise the collection of outstanding accounts due the 
92.31 	fund and may, by notice to the proper county auditor, require the maximum levy to be made 
92.32 	as required in this subdivision. Interest on capital loans must be paid on December 15 of 
92.33 	the year after the year the loan is granted and annually in later years. By September 30, the 
92.34 	commissioner shall notify the county auditor of each county containing taxable property 
92.35 	situated within the district of the amount of the maximum effort debt service levy of the 
93.1 	district for that year. The county auditor or auditors shall extend upon the tax rolls an ad 
93.2 	valorem tax upon all taxable property within the district in the aggregate amount so certified.
93.3 		Subd. 13.Loan forgiveness. If any capital loan is not paid within 50 years after it is 
93.4 	granted from maximum effort debt service levies in excess of required debt service levies, 
93.5 	the liability of the district on the loan is satisfied and discharged and interest on the loan 
93.6 	ceases.
93.7 		Subd. 14.Participation by county auditor; record of contract; payment of loan. The 
93.8 	district must file a copy of the capital loan contract with the county auditor of each county 
93.9 	in which any part of the district is situated. The county auditor shall enter the capital loan, 
93.10 	evidenced by the contract, in the auditor's bond register. The commissioner shall keep a 
93.11 	record of each capital grant and loan and contract showing the name and address of the 
93.12 	district, the date of the contract, and the amount of the grant and loan initially approved. 
93.13 	On receipt of the resolution required in subdivision 12 and documentation of expenditures 
93.14 	under the contract, the commissioner shall issue payments, which may be dispersed in 
93.15 	accordance with the schedule in the contract, on the capital grant and loan account for the 
93.16 	amount that may be disbursed under subdivision 1. Interest on each disbursement of the 
93.17 	capital loan amount accrues from the date on which the commissioner of management and 
93.18 	budget issues the payment.
93.19 		Subd. 15.Bond sale limitations. (a) A district having an outstanding state loan must 
93.20 	not issue and sell any bonds on the public market, except to refund state loans, unless it 
93.21 	agrees to make the maximum effort debt service levy in each later year at the higher rate 
93.22 	provided in section 126C.63, subdivision 8, and unless it schedules the maturities of the 
93.23 	bonds according to section 475.54, subdivision 2. A district that refunds bonds at a lower 
93.24 	interest rate may continue to make the maximum effort debt service levy in each later year 
93.25 	at the current rate provided in section 126C.63, subdivision 8, if the district can demonstrate 
93.26 	to the commissioner's satisfaction that the district's repayments of the state loan will not be 
93.27 	reduced below the previous year's level. The district must report each sale to the 
93.28 	commissioner.
93.29 	(b) For a capital loan issued prior to July 1, 2001, after the district's capital loan has been 
93.30 	outstanding for 30 years, the district must not issue bonds on the public market except to 
93.31 	refund the loan.
93.32 	(c) For a capital loan issued on or after July 1, 2001, after the district's capital loan has 
93.33 	been outstanding for 20 years, the district must not issue bonds on the public market except 
93.34 	to refund the loan.

94.1 	Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 126C.71, is amended to read:
94.2 	126C.71 PAYMENT AND APPLICATIONS OF PAYMENT.
94.3 		Subdivision 1.Payment. (a) On November 20 of each year, each district having an 
94.4 	outstanding capital loan or debt service loan shall compute the excess amount in the debt 
94.5 	redemption fund. The commissioner shall prescribe the form and calculation to be used in 
94.6 	computing the excess amount. A completed copy of this form shall be sent to the 
94.7 	commissioner before December 1 of each year. The commissioner may recompute the 
94.8 	excess amount and shall promptly notify the district of the recomputed amount.
94.9 	(b) On December 15 of each year, the district shall remit to the commissioner, at a 
94.10 	minimum, an amount equal to the greater of:
94.11 	(i) the excess amount in the debt redemption fund; or
94.12 	(ii) the amount by which the maximum effort debt service levy exceeds the required 
94.13 	debt service levy for that calendar year.
94.14 	Any late payments shall be assessed an interest charge using the interest rates specified for 
94.15 	the debt service notes and capital loan contracts.
94.16 	(c) (b) If a payment required under the Maximum Effort School Aid Law paragraph (a)
94.17 	is not made within 30 days, the commissioner may reduce any subsequent payments due 
94.18 	the district under this chapter and chapters 120B, 122A, 123A, 123B, 124D, 125A, and 
94.19 	127A by the amount due, after providing written notice to the district.
94.20 		Subd. 2.Application of payments. The commissioner shall apply payments received 
94.21 	under the Maximum Effort School Aid Law and aids withheld according to subdivision 1, 
94.22 	paragraph (b), as follows: First, to payment of interest accrued on its notes, if any; second, 
94.23 	to interest on its contracts, if any; third, toward principal of its notes, if any; and last, toward 
94.24 	the principal of its contracts, if any. While more than one note or more than one contract is 
94.25 	held, priority of payment of interest must be given to the one of earliest date, and after 
94.26 	interest accrued on all notes is paid, similar priority shall be given in the application of any 
94.27 	remaining amount to the payment of principal. In any year when the receipts from a district 
94.28 	are not sufficient to pay the interest accrued on any of its notes or contracts, the deficiency 
94.29 	must be added to the principal, and the commissioner shall notify the district and each county 
94.30 	auditor concerned of the new amount of principal of the note or contract.

95.1 	Sec. 14. [174.13] TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES CAPITAL PROGRAM.
95.2 		Subdivision 1.Establishment; accounts. (a) A transportation facilities capital program 
95.3 	is established to prioritize among eligible projects that:
95.4 	(1) support the programmatic mission of the department;
95.5 	(2) extend the useful life of existing buildings; or
95.6 	(3) renovate or construct facilities to meet the department's current and future operational 
95.7 	needs. Projects under the transportation facilities capital program are funded by proceeds 
95.8 	from the sale of trunk highway bonds or from other funds appropriated for the purposes of 
95.9 	this section.
95.10 	(b) A transportation facilities capital account is established in the trunk highway fund. 
95.11 	The account consists of all money appropriated from the trunk highway fund for the purposes 
95.12 	of this section and any other money donated, allotted, transferred, or otherwise provided to 
95.13 	the account by law. Money in the account is appropriated to the commissioner for the 
95.14 	purposes specified and consistent with the standards and criteria set forth in this section.
95.15 	(c) A transportation facilities capital account is established in the bond proceeds account 
95.16 	of the trunk highway fund. The account consists of trunk highway bond proceeds appropriated 
95.17 	to the commissioner. Money in the account may only be expended on trunk highway 
95.18 	purposes, which includes the purposes in this section.
95.19 		Subd. 2.Standards. (a) Minnesota Constitution, article XIV, section 11, states that trunk 
95.20 	highway bonds may be issued to finance the construction, improvement, and maintenance 
95.21 	of the public highway system in the state. The legislature assumes that many projects for 
95.22 	preservation and replacement of portions of existing capital assets will constitute the 
95.23 	construction, improvement, and maintenance of the public highway system within the 
95.24 	meaning of the constitution and capital expenditures under generally accepted accounting 
95.25 	principles, and will be financed more efficiently and economically under the program than 
95.26 	by direct appropriations for specific projects.
95.27 	(b) When allocating funding under this section, the commissioner must review the 
95.28 	projects deemed eligible under subdivision 3 and prioritize allocations using the criteria in 
95.29 	subdivision 4. Money allocated to a specific project in an appropriation or other law must 
95.30 	be allocated as provided by the law.
95.31 		Subd. 3.Eligible expenditures; limitations. (a) A project is eligible under this section 
95.32 	only if it is a capital expenditure on a capital building asset owned or to be owned by the 
95.33 	state within the meaning of accepted accounting principles as applied to public expenditures.
96.1 	(b) Capital budget expenditures that are eligible under this section include but are not 
96.2 	limited to: acquisition of land and buildings and the predesign, engineering, construction, 
96.3 	furnishing, and equipping of district headquarter buildings, truck stations, salt storage or 
96.4 	other unheated storage buildings, deicing and anti-icing facilities, fuel-dispensing facilities, 
96.5 	highway rest areas, and vehicle weigh and inspection stations.
96.6 		Subd. 4.Criteria for priorities. When prioritizing funding allocation among projects 
96.7 	eligible under subdivision 3, the commissioner must consider:
96.8 	(1) whether a project ensures the effective and efficient condition and operation of the 
96.9 	facility;
96.10 	(2) the urgency in ensuring the safe use of existing buildings;
96.11 	(3) the project's total life-cycle cost;
96.12 	(4) additional criteria for priorities otherwise specified in law, statute, or rule that applies 
96.13 	to a category listed in the act making an appropriation for the program; and
96.14 	(5) any other criteria the commissioner deems necessary.

96.15 	Sec. 15. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 363A.36, is amended by adding a subdivision 
96.16 	to read:
96.17 		Subd. 1a.Scope of application; state capital funding. (a) An agency or political 
96.18 	subdivision that uses state money to pay for part or all of a capital project is subject to and

96.28 	work, renovation, construction, furnishing, and equipping;
96.29 	(3) "political subdivision" means a county, home rule charter or statutory city, town,

97.6 		Subdivision 1.Scope. (a) No department, agency of the state, the Metropolitan Council, 
97.7 	or an agency subject to section 473.143, subdivision 1, shall execute a contract for goods 
97.8 	or services or an agreement for goods or services in excess of $500,000 with a business that 
97.9 	has 40 or more full-time employees in this state or a state where the business has its primary 
97.10 	place of business on a single day during the prior 12 months, unless the business has an 
97.11 	equal pay certificate or it has certified in writing that it is exempt. A certificate is valid for 
97.12 	four years.
97.13 	(b) An agency or political subdivision that uses state money to pay for part or all of a 
97.14 	capital project is subject to and must comply with the restrictions in this section for contracts 
97.15 	exceeding $500,000. For purposes of this subdivision, "agency," "political subdivision," 
97.16 	"capital project," and "state money" have the meanings given in section 363A.36, subdivision 
97.17 	1a. This paragraph applies to a capital project or discrete phase of a capital project for which 
97.18 	state money has been appropriated on or after January 1, 2022.
97.19 	(b) (c) This section does not apply to a business with respect to a specific contract if the 
97.20 	commissioner of administration determines that application of this section would cause

97.25 	services. This section does not apply to contracts entered into by the State Board of 
97.26 	Investment for investment options under section 352.965, subdivision 4.

97.27 	Sec. 17. Minnesota Statutes 2019 Supplement, section 462A.37, subdivision 2, is amended 
97.28 	to read:
97.29 		Subd. 2.Authorization. (a) The agency may issue up to $30,000,000 in aggregate 
97.30 	principal amount of housing infrastructure bonds in one or more series to which the payment 
97.31 	made under this section may be pledged. The housing infrastructure bonds authorized in 
97.32 	this subdivision may be issued to fund loans, or grants for the purposes of clause (4), on 
98.1 	terms and conditions the agency deems appropriate, made for one or more of the following 
98.2 	purposes:

98.20 	(7) to finance costs of acquisition and construction of multifamily rental housing for 
98.21 	households with incomes at or below 50 percent of area median income. Among comparable 
98.22 	proposals, the agency must give priority to requests for projects that serve households at 
98.23 	the lowest incomes.
98.24 	(b) Among comparable proposals for permanent supportive housing, preference shall 
98.25 	be given to permanent supportive housing for veterans and other individuals or families

APPENDIX 

Repealed Minnesota Statutes: 20-6280 

126C.65 FUND ESTABLISHED; DIVISION INTO ACCOUNTS.Subd. 2.Debt service loan account. 
A debt service loan account must be maintained out of which loans under section 126C.68 must be made. All money appropriated to the fund by section 126C.66 shall be paid into this account initially. 

126C.68 DEBT SERVICE LOANS.Subdivision 1.Qualification; application; award; interest. 
Any district in which the required levy for debt service in any year will exceed its maximum effort debt service levy by ten percent or by $5,000, whichever is less, is qualified for a debt service loan hereunder in an amount not exceeding the amount applied for, and not exceeding one percent of the net debt of the district, and not exceeding the difference between the required and the maximum effort debt service levy in that year. Applications must be filed with the commissioner in each calendar year up to and including July 1. The commissioner shall determine whether the applicant is entitled to a loan and the amount thereof, and on or before October 1 shall certify to each applicant district the amount granted and its due date. The commissioner shall notify the county auditor of each county in which the district is located that the amount certified is available and appropriated for payment of principal and interest on its outstanding bonds. The auditors shall reduce by that amount the taxes otherwise leviable as the district's debt service levy on the tax rolls for that year. Each debt service loan shall bear interest from its date at a rate equal to the average annual rate payable on Minnesota state school loan bonds most recently issued prior to the disbursement of the loan to the district, but in no event less than 3-1/2 percent per annum on the principal amount from time to time remaining unpaid. Interest is payable on December 15 of the year following that in which the loan is received and annually thereafter. 

Subd. 2.Note. 
Each debt service loan must be evidenced by a note executed on behalf of the district by the signatures of its chair or vice-chair and the school district clerk. The note must be dated November 1 of the year in which executed, and must state its principal amount, interest rate, and that it is payable at the commissioner's office. The note must have printed thereon, or the commissioner shall attach thereto, a grill for entry of the date and amount of each payment and allocations of each payment to accrued interest or principal. The note must also include a certificate to be executed by the county auditor of each county in which any portion of the district is situated, prior to the delivery of the note, stating that the county auditor has entered the debt service loan evidenced thereby in the auditor's bond register. The notes must be delivered to the commissioner not later than November 15 of the year in which executed. The commissioner shall cause a record to be made and preserved showing the obligor district and the date and principal amount of each note. 

Subd. 3.Warrant. 
The commissioner shall issue to each district whose note has been so received a warrant on the debt service loan account of the maximum effort school loan fund, payable on presentation to the commissioner of management and budget out of any money in such account. The warrant shall be issued by the commissioner in sufficient time to coincide with the next date on which the district is obligated to make principal or interest payments on its bonded debt in the ensuing year. Interest must accrue from the date such warrant is issued. The proceeds thereof must be used by the district to pay principal or interest on its bonded debt falling due in the ensuing year. 

Subd. 4.Levy. 
Each district receiving a debt service loan shall levy for debt service in that year and each year thereafter, until all its debts to the fund are paid, (a) the amount of its maximum effort debt service levy, or (b) the amount of its required debt service levy less the amount of any debt service loan in that year, whichever is greater. The district shall remit payments to the commissioner according to section 126C.71. By September 30, the commissioner shall notify the county auditor of each county containing taxable property situated within the school district of the amount of the maximum effort debt service levy of the district for that year, and said county auditor or auditors shall extend upon the tax rolls an ad valorem tax upon all taxable property within the district in the aggregate amount so certified.
