29.12 	of the public highway system in the state. The legislature assumes that many projects for 
29.13 	preservation and replacement of portions of existing capital assets will constitute the 
29.14 	construction, improvement, maintenance of the public highway system within the meaning 
29.15 	of the constitution and capital expenditures under generally accepted accounting principles, 
29.16 	and will be financed more efficiently and economically under the program than by direct 
29.17 	appropriations for specific projects.
29.18 	(b) When allocating funding under this section, the commissioner must review the 
29.19 	projects deemed eligible under subdivision 3 and prioritize allocations using the criteria in 
29.20 	subdivision 4. Money allocated to a specific project in an appropriation or other law must 
29.21 	be allocated as provided by the law.

29.33 	facility;
30.1 	(2) the urgency in ensuring the safe use of existing buildings;
30.2 	(3) the project's total life-cycle cost;
30.3 	(4) additional criteria for priorities otherwise specified in law, statute, or rule that applies 
30.4 	to a category listed in the act making an appropriation for the program; and
30.5 	(5) any other criteria the commissioner deems necessary.

32.5 	$1,000,000.

32.6 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 446A.072, subdivision 5a, is amended to read:
32.7 		Subd. 5a.Type and amount of assistance. (a) For a governmental unit receiving grant 
32.8 	funding from the USDA/RECD, the authority may provide assistance in the form of a grant 
32.9 	of up to 65 percent of the eligible grant need determined by USDA/RECD. A governmental 
32.10 	unit may not receive a grant under this paragraph for more than $5,000,000 $10,000,000
32.11 	per project or $20,000 per existing connection, whichever is less, unless specifically approved 
32.12 	by law.
32.13 	(b) For a governmental unit receiving a loan from the clean water revolving fund under 
32.14 	section 446A.07, the authority may provide assistance under this section in the form of a 
32.15 	grant if the average annual residential wastewater system cost after completion of the project 
32.16 	would otherwise exceed 1.4 percent of the median household income of the project service 
32.17 	area. In determining whether the average annual residential wastewater system cost would 
32.18 	exceed 1.4 percent, the authority must consider the total costs associated with building, 
32.19 	operating, and maintaining the wastewater system, including existing wastewater debt 
32.20 	service, debt service on the eligible project cost, and operation and maintenance costs. Debt 
32.21 	service costs for the proposed project are calculated based on the maximum loan term 
32.22 	permitted for the clean water revolving fund loan under section 446A.07, subdivision 7. 
32.23 	The amount of the grant is equal to 80 percent of the amount needed to reduce the average 
32.24 	annual residential wastewater system cost to 1.4 percent of median household income in 
32.25 	the project service area, to a maximum of $5,000,000 $10,000,000 per project or $20,000 
32.26 	per existing connection, whichever is less, unless specifically approved by law. The eligible 
32.27 	project cost is determined by multiplying the total project costs minus any other grants by 
32.28 	the essential project component percentage calculated under subdivision 3, paragraph (c), 
32.29 	clause (1). In no case may the amount of the grant exceed 80 percent of the eligible project 
32.30 	cost.
32.31 	(c) For a governmental unit receiving a loan from the drinking water revolving fund 
32.32 	under section 446A.081, the authority may provide assistance under this section in the form 
32.33 	of a grant if the average annual residential drinking water system cost after completion of 
32.34 	the project would otherwise exceed 1.2 percent of the median household income of the 
33.1 	project service area. In determining whether the average annual residential drinking water 
33.2 	system cost would exceed 1.2 percent, the authority must consider the total costs associated 
33.3 	with building, operating, and maintaining the drinking water system, including existing 
33.4 	drinking water debt service, debt service on the eligible project cost, and operation and 
33.5 	maintenance costs. Debt service costs for the proposed project are calculated based on the 
33.6 	maximum loan term permitted for the drinking water revolving fund loan under section 
33.7 	446A.081, subdivision 8, paragraph (c). The amount of the grant is equal to 80 percent of 
33.8 	the amount needed to reduce the average annual residential drinking water system cost to 
33.9 	1.2 percent of median household income in the project service area, to a maximum of 
33.10 	$5,000,000 $10,000,000 per project or $20,000 per existing connection, whichever is less, 
33.11 	unless specifically approved by law. The eligible project cost is determined by multiplying 
33.12 	the total project costs minus any other grants by the essential project component percentage 
33.13 	calculated under subdivision 3, paragraph (c), clause (1). In no case may the amount of the 
33.14 	grant exceed 80 percent of the eligible project cost.
33.15 	(d) Notwithstanding the limits in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c), for a governmental unit 
33.16 	receiving supplemental assistance under this section after January 1, 2002, if the authority 
33.17 	determines that the governmental unit's construction and installation costs are significantly 
33.18 	increased due to geological conditions of crystalline bedrock or karst areas and discharge 
33.19 	limits that are more stringent than secondary treatment, the maximum award under this 
33.20 	section shall not be more than $25,000 per existing connection.

33.21 	Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 446A.073, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
33.22 		Subdivision 1.Program established. When money is appropriated for grants under this 
33.23 	program, the authority shall award grants up to a maximum of $7,000,000 $12,000,000 to 
33.24 	governmental units to cover 80 percent of the cost of water infrastructure projects made 
33.25 	necessary by:
33.26 	(1) a wasteload reduction prescribed under a total maximum daily load plan required by 
33.27 	section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act, United States Code, title 33, section 1313(d);

33.32 	subdivision 1, paragraph (e), clause (8), and incorporated into a permit issued by the Pollution 
33.33 	Control Agency that exceeds secondary treatment limits; or
34.1 	(4) a total nitrogen concentration or mass limit that requires discharging ten milligrams 
34.2 	per liter or less at permitted design flow.

34.3 	Sec. 9. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 446A.081, subdivision 9, is amended 
34.4 	to read:

34.8 	systems for drinking water systems, where the debt was incurred after the date of enactment 
34.9 	of the act, for the purposes of construction of the necessary improvements to comply with 
34.10 	the national primary drinking water regulations under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act;
34.11 	(2) to purchase or guarantee insurance for local obligations to improve credit market 
34.12 	access or reduce interest rates;
34.13 	(3) to provide a source of revenue or security for the payment of principal and interest 
34.14 	on revenue or general obligation bonds issued by the authority if the bond proceeds are 
34.15 	deposited in the fund;
34.16 	(4) to provide loans or loan guarantees for similar revolving funds established by a 
34.17 	governmental unit or state agency;
34.18 	(5) to earn interest on fund accounts;
34.19 	(6) to pay the reasonable costs incurred by the authority, the Department of Employment 
34.20 	and Economic Development, and the Department of Health for conducting activities as 
34.21 	authorized and required under the act up to the limits authorized under the act; and
34.22 	(7) to develop and administer programs for water system supervision, source water 
34.23 	protection, and related programs required under the act;.
34.24 	(b) The drinking water revolving fund may be used to provide additional subsidization 
34.25 	as permitted under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and other federal law to

APPENDIX 

Repealed Minnesota Statutes: 24-05981 

16A.662 INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT BONDS.Subdivision 1.Infrastructure development fund. 
The infrastructure development fund is created as an account in the state treasury. The commissioner of management and budget shall credit to the fund income from the sources provided by law. The commissioner of management and budget shall from time to time certify to the State Board of Investment the assets of the fund not currently needed. The amount certified must be invested by the State Board of Investment subject to section 11A.24. Investment income and investment losses attributable to investment of fund assets must be credited to or borne by the fund. 

Subd. 2.Bonds authorized. 
When authorized by law enacted in accordance with the constitution, article XI, sections 5 and 7, the commissioner may by order sell and issue bonds of the state evidencing public debt incurred for any purpose stated in the law. The bonds are general obligations of the state, and the full faith and credit of the state are pledged for their payment. 

Subd. 3.Manner of issuance; maturities. 
The bonds must be issued and sold in accordance with section 16A.641. Sections 16A.672 and 16A.675 apply to the bonds. 

Subd. 4.Debt service account; appropriation of debt service account money. 
There is established within the state bond fund a separate and special account designated as the infrastructure development bond debt service account. The money on hand in the debt service account must be used solely for the payment of the principal of and interest on bonds issued under Laws 1990, chapter 610, article 1, section 30, subdivision 2, and is appropriated for this purpose. This appropriation does not cancel as long as any of the bonds remain outstanding. 

Subd. 5.Assessment to higher education systems. 
(a) In order to reduce the amount otherwise required to be transferred to the state bond fund with respect to bonds heretofore or hereafter issued under Laws 1990, chapter 610, article 1, section 30, subdivision 2, the commissioner of management and budget shall assess each higher education system for one-third the amount that would otherwise need to be transferred with respect to those bonds sold to finance capital improvement projects at institutions under the control of the system; provided that, to the extent that the amount to be transferred is for payment of principal and interest on bonds sold to finance life safety improvements, the commissioner must not assess the higher education systems for the transfer. 

(b) After each sale of the bonds, the commissioner of management and budget shall notify the Board of Trustees of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and the regents of the University of Minnesota of the amounts for which each system is responsible for each year for the life of the bonds. The amounts payable each year are reduced by one-third of the net income from investment of those bond proceeds that must be allocated among the systems in proportion to the amount of principal and interest otherwise required to be paid by each. Each higher education system shall pay its annual share of debt service payments to the commissioner of management and budget by December 1 each year. If a higher education system fails to make a payment when due, the commissioner of management and budget shall reduce allotments for appropriations from the general fund otherwise payable to the system to cover the amount of the missed debt service payment. The commissioner of management and budget shall credit the payments received from the higher education systems to the infrastructure development bond debt service account in the state bond fund each December 1 before the transfer is made under subdivision 4. 

Subd. 6.Appropriation from general fund. 
There is annually appropriated from the general fund for transfer to the infrastructure development bond debt service account the amount that, added to the amount in the infrastructure development bond debt service account on December 1 each year, after giving effect to subdivisions 4 and 5, is equal to the full amount of principal and interest to come due on all bonds to and including July 1 in the second ensuing year. 

Subd. 7.Constitutional tax levy. 
Under the constitution, article XI, section 7, the state auditor must levy each year on all taxable property within the state a tax sufficient, with the amount then on hand in the infrastructure development bond debt service account, to pay all principal and interest on the bonds due and to become due to and including July 1 in the second ensuing year. The tax is not subject to limit as to rate or amount. However, the amount of money appropriated from other sources as provided in subdivisions 4, 5, and 6, and actually received and on hand before the levy in any year, reduces the amount of the tax otherwise required to be levied. The proceeds of the tax must be credited to the infrastructure development bond debt service account. 

Subd. 8.Application and appropriation of proceeds. 
The proceeds of the bonds must be deposited and spent as provided in this subdivision and are appropriated for those purposes. Any accrued interest and any premium received on the sale of the bonds must be credited to the infrastructure development bond debt service account. Except as otherwise required by law, the balance of the bond proceeds shall be credited to the infrastructure development fund and spent for the purposes specified in the law authorizing the issuance of the bonds. So much of the proceeds as is necessary must be used to pay costs incurred in issuing and selling the bonds.
