new text end

new text begin A city or town shall impose an aggregate host fee, not to exceed 11 cents per cubic
yard or eight cents per ton in accordance with the measurement used for transport from the
extraction site or sale of aggregate material removed from any city or town. Twenty-five
percent of the aggregate host fee revenue must be used by the city or town only for the
purposes of mitigating and compensating for the adverse effects of aggregate mining
material. The remainder of the aggregate host fee may be credited to the general fund or
other designated fund of the city or town. The reporting and payment of fees under this
section shall be administered in the same manner as an aggregate removal tax under
section 298.75, except that if the county does not impose an aggregate removal tax, the
city or town is deemed the "county" for the purposes of reporting and payment.
