38.1 		Subdivision 1.Creation of accounts. Two public school fiber optic infrastructure 
38.2 	accounts are created, one in the general fund and one in the bond proceeds fund. Money 
38.3 	in these accounts may only be used for capital costs of fiber optic infrastructure for 
38.4 	eligible public school projects.
38.5 		Subd. 2.Program purpose. The fiber optic infrastructure grant program is 
38.6 	established to provide the capital investment needed to bridge the gap between the federal 
38.7 	Schools and Libraries Program of the Universal Service Fund, commonly known as 
38.8 	"E-Rate," and the total cost of fiber optic infrastructure that will better public school 
38.9 	buildings to support 21st century learning capacity at each district school.
38.10 		Subd. 3.General eligibility; state general obligation bond funds. Minnesota

38.12 	be issued to finance only the acquisition or betterment of public land, buildings, and other 
38.13 	public improvements of a capital nature. The legislature has determined that many fiber 
38.14 	optic infrastructure projects will constitute betterments and capital improvements within 
38.15 	the meaning of the Minnesota Constitution and capital expenditures under generally 
38.16 	accepted accounting principles, and will be financed more efficiently and economically 
38.17 	under this section than by direct appropriations for specific projects.

38.19 	(1) "Fiber optic infrastructure" means the land, buildings, fiber optic connection 
38.20 	cable, and end point hardware, including routers and switches. It does not include

38.25 	school districts for fiber optic infrastructure projects.
38.26 		Subd. 6.Eligible costs for grants. (a) "Eligible cost" for use of state general 
38.27 	obligation bond fund money means the acquisition of land or permanent easements; 
38.28 	preparation of land on which the fiber optic infrastructure will be located, including 
38.29 	demolition of structures and remediation of any hazardous conditions on the land; and 
38.30 	predesign, design, acquisition, and installation of publicly owned fiber optic infrastructure 
38.31 	in this state with a useful life of at least ten years that supports public school district 
38.32 	facility operation, administration, and instruction; the unpaid principal on debt issued by 
38.33 	the school district for a fiber optic infrastructure project, or the amount necessary to pay in 
38.34 	a lump sum all lease payments due if payment results in the school district owning the fiber 
38.35 	optic infrastructure. All uses under this paragraph must be for publicly owned property.
39.1 	(b) "Eligible cost" for use of any other source of money will be determined by 
39.2 	limitations imposed on that source, but may include the costs of leases and reimbursement 
39.3 	of the costs of purchase and installation of fiber optic infrastructure.
39.4 		Subd. 7.Application. The commissioner must develop forms and procedures for

39.13 	completion dates; and
39.14 	(5) any additional information or material the commissioner prescribes.
39.15 		Subd. 8.Criteria for grants. The commissioner must develop the criteria that will 
39.16 	be used to award grants if grant applications exceed available resources.
39.17 		Subd. 9.Cancellation of grant. If, five years after execution of a grant agreement, 
39.18 	the commissioner determines that the grantee has not proceeded in a timely manner with 
39.19 	implementation of the project funded, the commissioner must cancel the grant and the 
39.20 	grantee must repay to the commissioner all grant money paid to the grantee. Section 
39.21 	16A.642 applies to any appropriations made to the commissioner under this section that
