  1.12  Statutes, section 15.039, subdivision 7, does not apply to the 
  1.13  state treasurer or deputy state treasurer. 
  1.14     Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 276.11, 
  1.15  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
  1.16     Subdivision 1.  [GENERALLY.] As soon as practical after the 
  1.17  settlement day determined in section 276.09, the county 
  1.18  treasurer shall pay to the state treasurer ....... or the 
  1.19  treasurer of a town, city, school district, or special district, 
  1.20  on the warrant of the county auditor, all receipts of taxes 
  1.21  levied by the taxing district and deliver up all orders and 
  1.22  other evidences of indebtedness of the taxing district, taking 
  1.23  triplicate receipts for them.  The treasurer or ....... shall 
  1.24  file one of the receipts with the county auditor, and shall 
  1.25  return one by mail on the day of its receipt to the clerk of the 
  2.1   town, city, school district, or special district to which 
  2.2   payment was made.  The clerk shall keep the receipt in the 
  2.3   clerk's office.  Upon written request of the taxing district, to 
  2.4   the extent practicable, the county treasurer shall make partial 
  2.5   payments of amounts collected periodically in advance of the 
  2.6   next settlement and distribution.  A statement prepared by the 
  2.7   county treasurer must accompany each payment.  It must state the 
  2.8   years for which taxes included in the payment were collected 
  2.9   and, for each year, the amount of the taxes and any penalties on 
  2.10  the tax.  Upon written request of a taxing district, except 
  2.11  school districts, the county treasurer shall pay at least 70 
  2.12  percent of the estimated collection within 30 days after the 
  2.13  settlement date determined in section 276.09.  Within seven 
  2.14  business days after the due date, or 28 calendar days after the 
  2.15  postmark date on the envelopes containing real or personal 
  2.16  property tax statements, whichever is latest, the county 
  2.17  treasurer shall pay to the treasurer of the school districts 50 
  2.18  percent of the estimated collections arising from taxes levied 
  2.19  by and belonging to the school district, unless the school 
  2.20  district elects to receive 50 percent of the estimated 
  2.21  collections arising from taxes levied by and belonging to the 
  2.22  school district after making a proportionate reduction to 
  2.23  reflect any loss in collections as the result of any delay in 
  2.24  mailing tax statements.  In that case, 50 percent of those 
  2.25  adjusted, estimated collections shall be paid by the county 
  2.26  treasurer to the treasurer of the school district within seven 
  2.27  business days of the due date.  The remaining 50 percent of the 
  2.28  estimated collections must be paid to the treasurer of the 
  2.29  school district within the next seven business days of the later 
  2.30  of the dates in the preceding sentence, unless the school 
  2.31  district elects to receive the remainder of its estimated 
  2.32  collections after a proportionate reduction has been made to 
  2.33  reflect any loss in collections as the result of any delay in 
  2.34  mailing tax statements.  In that case, the remaining 50 percent 
  2.35  of those adjusted, estimated collections shall be paid by the 
  2.36  county treasurer to the treasurer of the school district within 
  3.1   14 days of the due date.  The treasurer shall pay the balance of 
  3.2   the amounts collected to the state or to a municipal corporation 
  3.3   or other body within 60 days after the settlement date 
  3.4   determined in section 276.09.  After 45 days interest at an 
  3.5   annual rate of eight percent accrues and must be paid to the 
  3.6   taxing district.  Interest must be paid upon appropriation from 
  3.7   the general revenue fund of the county.  If not paid, it may be 
  3.8   recovered by the taxing district, in a civil action.

  3.10  subdivision 5, is amended to read:

  4.7   to the general revenue fund of the county, one-third of the 
  4.8   receipts shall be paid to the municipality prosecuting the 
  4.9   offense, and one-third shall be transmitted to the state
