Phase 3, the commissioner must develop a ranked list of projects based on total score, and
must select projects in rank order for funding under the program, subject to subdivisions
4a and 4b. The commissioner must specify the amounts and known or anticipated sources
of funding for each selected project.

(j) Phase 5: Public information. The commissioner must publish information regarding
the selection process on the department's website. The information must include:

(1) lists of all projects submitted for consideration and all projects recommended by the
screening entities;

(2) the scores and ranking for each project; and

(3) an overview of each selected project, with amounts and sources of funding.

(k) Phase 6: Readiness development. For project selection under Phase 4, if all selected
projects from prior project selection rounds under Phase 4 are funded, the commissioner
must select additional projects from projects that received readiness development
advancement funds under subdivision 4b. If a project received readiness development
advancement funds and does not have sufficient sources of funding identified, the
commissioner must re-score the projects as provided under Phase 3 and include the project
in Phase 4 in the next selection round.

town road bridges. In addition, if the present bridge structure is less than ten feet in length
but a hydrological survey indicates that the replacement bridge structure or culvert must be

location, construction, and other associated costs.

$20,000, or engineering costs exceed $10,000, the town shall be eligible for financial
assistance from the town bridge account. Financial assistance shall be requested by resolution
of the county board and shall be limited to:

(1) 100 percent of the cost of the bridge approach work that is in excess of $10,000;

(2) 100 percent of the cost of the replacement culverts when the cost does not exceed
$20,000 and the town board agrees to be responsible for all the other costs, which may
include costs for structural removal, installation, and permitting. The replacement structure
design and costs shall be approved and certified by the county engineer, but need not be
subsequently approved by the Department of Transportation; or

towns with a net tax capacity of less than $300,000, 100 percent of the engineering costs.

monthly basis for deposit in the general fund.

(e) When these fees are collected by a driver's license agent, appointed under section
171.061, a filing fee is imposed in the amount specified under section 171.061, subdivision
4. The reinstatement fees, surcharge, and filing fee must be deposited in an approved
depository as directed under section 171.061, subdivision 4.

(f) A person whose driver's license has been revoked as provided in subdivision 1 under
section 169A.52, 169A.54, or 171.177 may choose to pay 50 percent and an additional $25
of the total amount of the surcharge and 50 percent of the fee required under paragraph (b)
to reinstate the person's driver's license, provided the person meets all other requirements
of reinstatement. If a person chooses to pay 50 percent of the total and an additional $25,
the driver's license must expire after two years. The person must pay an additional 50 percent
less $25 of the total to extend the license for an additional two years, provided the person
is otherwise still eligible for the license. After this final payment of the surcharge and fee,
the license may be renewed on a standard schedule, as provided under section 171.27. A
filing fee may be imposed for each installment payment. Revenue from the filing fee is
credited to the driver and vehicle services operating account in the special revenue fund
under section 299A.705 and is appropriated to the commissioner.

(g) Any person making installment payments under paragraph (f), whose driver's license
subsequently expires, or is canceled, revoked, or suspended before payment of 100 percent
of the surcharge and fee, must pay the outstanding balance due for the initial reinstatement
before the driver's license is subsequently reinstated. Upon payment of the outstanding
balance due for the initial reinstatement, the person may pay any new surcharge and fee
imposed under paragraph (b) in installment payments as provided under paragraph (f).

Sec. 18.

Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 171.36, is amended to read:


171.36 LICENSE FEES; RENEWAL.

All licenses expire one year from the date of issuance and may be renewed upon
application to the commissioner. Each application for an original or renewal school license
must be accompanied by a fee of $150 and each application for an original or renewal
instructor's license must be accompanied by a fee of $50. The license fees collected under
sections 171.33 to 171.41 must be paid into the driver and vehicle services operating account
in the special revenue fund specified under section 299A.705. A license fee must not be
refunded in the event that the license is rejected or revoked.
