69.13 		Subd. 1a.Onsite energy generation from renewable sources. A state agency 
69.14 	that prepares a predesign for a new building must consider meeting at least two percent 
69.15 	of the energy needs of the building from renewable sources located on the building site. 
69.16 	For purposes of this subdivision, "renewable sources" are limited to wind and the sun. 
69.17 	The predesign must include an explicit cost and price analysis of complying with the 
69.18 	two-percent requirement compared with the present and future costs of energy supplied 
69.19 	by a public utility from a location away from the building site and the present and future 
69.20 	costs of controlling carbon emissions. If the analysis concludes that the building should 
69.21 	not meet at least two-percent of its energy needs from renewable sources located on the 
69.22 	building site, the analysis must provide explicit reasons why not. The building may not 
69.23 	receive further state appropriations for design or construction unless at least two percent of 
69.24 	its energy needs are designed to be met from renewable sources, unless the commissioner 
69.25 	finds that the reasons given by the agency for not meeting the two-percent requirement 
69.26 	were supported by evidence in the record.

69.27 	Sec. 30. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 16B.325, is amended to read:
69.28 	16B.325 SUSTAINABLE BUILDING GUIDELINES.

69.33 	primary objectives of these guidelines are to ensure that all new state buildings, and 
70.1 	major renovations of state buildings, initially exceed existing the state energy code, as 
70.2 	established in Minnesota Rules, chapter 7676, by at least 30 percent. 
70.3 		Subd. 2.Lowest possible cost; energy conservation. The guidelines must focus 
70.4 	on achieving the lowest possible lifetime cost for new buildings and major renovations,
70.5 	and allow for changes in the guidelines that encourage continual energy conservation 
70.6 	improvements in new buildings and major renovations.  The guidelines shall define 
70.7 	"major renovations" for purposes of this section. The definition may not allow "major 
70.8 	renovations" to encompass less than 10,000 square feet or to encompass less than the 
70.9 	complete replacement of the mechanical, ventilation, or cooling system of the building or 
70.10 	a section of the building. The design guidelines must establish sustainability guidelines 
70.11 	that include air quality and lighting standards and that create and maintain a healthy 
70.12 	environment and facilitate productivity improvements; specify ways to reduce material 
70.13 	costs; and must consider the long-term operating costs of the building, including the use of 
70.14 	renewable energy sources and distributed electric energy generation that uses a renewable 
70.15 	source or natural gas or a fuel that is as clean or cleaner than natural gas. 
70.16 		Subd. 3.Development of guidelines; applicability. (a) In developing the 
70.17 	guidelines, the departments shall use an open process, including providing the opportunity 
70.18 	for public comment. The guidelines established under this section are mandatory for all 
70.19 	new buildings receiving funding from the bond proceeds fund after January 1, 2004, and 
70.20 	for all major renovations receiving funding from the bond proceeds fund after January 
70.21 	1, 2009.
70.22 	(b) The commissioners of administration and commerce shall review the guidelines 
70.23 	periodically and incorporate performance standards developed under section 216B.241,

71.25 	on the terms and conditions the commissioner of finance determines to be in the best 
71.26 	interests of the state. The bonds may be sold at public or private sale. The commissioner

72.15 	statewide application on any class of property, income, transaction, or privilege. Payment 
72.16 	of the bonds is limited to the revenues explicitly authorized to be pledged under this

72.24 	received by the commissioner of finance is immediately subject to the lien of the pledge 
72.25 	without any physical delivery of the property or money or further act, and the lien of 
72.26 	any pledge is valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, 
72.27 	contract, or otherwise against the commissioner of finance, whether or not those parties 
72.28 	have notice of the lien or pledge. Neither the order nor any other instrument by which a 
72.29 	pledge is created need be recorded.
72.30 		Subd. 8.Bonds; purchase and cancellation. The commissioner of finance, subject 
72.31 	to agreements with bondholders that may then exist, may, out of any money available for 
72.32 	the purpose, purchase bonds of the commissioner of finance at a price not exceeding 
72.33 	(1) if the bonds are then redeemable, the redemption price then applicable plus accrued 
72.34 	interest to the next interest payment date thereon, or (2) if the bonds are not redeemable, 
72.35 	the redemption price applicable on the first date after the purchase upon which the bonds 
72.36 	become subject to redemption plus accrued interest to that date.
73.1 		Subd. 9.State pledge against impairment of contracts. The state pledges and 
73.2 	agrees with the holders of any bonds that the state will not limit or alter the rights vested 
73.3 	in the commissioner of finance to fulfill the terms of any agreements made with the 
73.4 	bondholders, or in any way impair the rights and remedies of the holders until the bonds, 
73.5 	together with interest on them, with interest on any unpaid installments of interest, and all 
73.6 	costs and expenses in connection with any action or proceeding by or on behalf of the 
73.7 	bondholders, are fully met and discharged. The commissioner of finance may include this 
73.8 	pledge and agreement of the state in any agreement with the holders of bonds issued
