61.32 	the amount of debt service payments that 
61.33 	will be needed on the bonds scheduled to 
62.1 	be sold. The commissioner shall adjust the 
62.2 	amount of bonds scheduled to be sold so as 
62.3 	to remain within the limit set by this section. 
62.4 	The amount needed to make the debt service 
62.5 	payments is appropriated from the general 
62.6 	fund as provided in Minnesota Statutes,

63.9 	Sec. 26. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 16B.32, is amended by adding a subdivision 
63.10 	to read:
63.11 		Subd. 1a.Onsite energy generation from renewable sources. A state agency 
63.12 	that prepares a predesign for a new building must consider meeting at least two percent 
63.13 	of the energy needs of the building from renewable sources located on the building site. 
63.14 	For purposes of this subdivision, "renewable sources" are limited to wind and the sun. 
63.15 	The predesign must include an explicit cost and price analysis of complying with the 
63.16 	two-percent requirement compared with the present and future costs of energy supplied 
63.17 	by a public utility from a location away from the building site and the present and future 
63.18 	costs of controlling carbon emissions. If the analysis concludes that the building should 
63.19 	not meet at least two-percent of its energy needs from renewable sources located on the 
63.20 	building site, the analysis must provide explicit reasons why not. The building may not 
63.21 	receive further state appropriations for design or construction unless at least two percent of 
63.22 	its energy needs are designed to be met from renewable sources, unless the commissioner 
63.23 	finds that the reasons given by the agency for not meeting the two-percent requirement 
63.24 	were supported by evidence in the record.

63.25 	Sec. 27. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 16B.325, is amended to read:
63.26 	16B.325 SUSTAINABLE BUILDING GUIDELINES.
63.27 		Subdivision 1.Development of sustainable building guidelines. The Department 
63.28 	of Administration and the Department of Commerce, with the assistance of other agencies, 
63.29 	shall develop sustainable building design guidelines for all new state buildings by January 
63.30 	15, 2003, and for all major renovations of state buildings by February 1, 2009. The 
63.31 	primary objectives of these guidelines are to ensure that all new state buildings, and 
63.32 	major renovations of state buildings, initially exceed existing the state energy code, as 
63.33 	established in Minnesota Rules, chapter 7676, by at least 30 percent. 
64.1 		Subd. 2.Lowest possible cost; energy conservation. The guidelines must focus 
64.2 	on achieving the lowest possible lifetime cost for new buildings and major renovations,
64.3 	and allow for changes in the guidelines that encourage continual energy conservation 
64.4 	improvements in new buildings and major renovations.  The guidelines shall define 
64.5 	"major renovations" for purposes of this section. The definition may not allow "major 
64.6 	renovations" to encompass less than 10,000 square feet or to encompass less than the 
64.7 	complete replacement of the mechanical, ventilation, or cooling system of the building or 
64.8 	a section of the building. The design guidelines must establish sustainability guidelines 
64.9 	that include air quality and lighting standards and that create and maintain a healthy 
64.10 	environment and facilitate productivity improvements; specify ways to reduce material 
64.11 	costs; and must consider the long-term operating costs of the building, including the use of 
64.12 	renewable energy sources and distributed electric energy generation that uses a renewable 
64.13 	source or natural gas or a fuel that is as clean or cleaner than natural gas. 
64.14 		Subd. 3.Development of guidelines; applicability. (a) In developing the 
64.15 	guidelines, the departments shall use an open process, including providing the opportunity 
64.16 	for public comment. The guidelines established under this section are mandatory for all 
64.17 	new buildings receiving funding from the bond proceeds fund after January 1, 2004, and 
64.18 	for all major renovations receiving funding from the bond proceeds fund after January 
64.19 	1, 2009.
64.20 	(b) The commissioners of administration and commerce shall review the guidelines 
64.21 	periodically and incorporate performance standards developed under section 216B.241, 
64.22 	subdivision 9, into the guidelines as soon as practicable.

64.23 	Sec. 28. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 116.155, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

65.14 	to the chairs of the senate and house committees having jurisdiction over environment 
65.15 	and environment finance.

65.27 	(3) money received in the form of gifts, grants, reimbursement, or appropriation from

66.8 	(3) to refund bonds issued under this section.
66.9 	(b) The amount of bonds that may be issued for the purposes of paragraph (a), 
66.10 	clause (1), may not exceed $25,000,000. The amount of bonds that may be issued for the

66.12 		Subd. 2.Procedure. The commissioner of finance may sell and issue the bonds 
66.13 	on the terms and conditions the commissioner of finance determines to be in the best 
66.14 	interests of the state. The bonds may be sold at public or private sale. The commissioner 
66.15 	of finance may enter any agreements or pledges the commissioner of finance determines 
66.16 	necessary or useful to sell the bonds that are not inconsistent with this section. Sections 
66.17 	16A.672 to 16A.675 apply to the bonds. The proceeds of the bonds issued under this 
66.18 	section must be credited to a special bond proceeds account in the remediation fund and

66.29 	discretion of the commissioner of finance, be applied to the purchases or payment at 
66.30 	maturity of the bonds to be refunded, or the redemption of the outstanding bonds on the 
66.31 	first redemption date after delivery of the refunding bonds and may, until so used, be 
66.32 	placed in escrow to be applied to the purchase, retirement, or redemption. Refunding

67.13 	any pledge is valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, 
67.14 	contract, or otherwise against the commissioner of finance, whether or not those parties 
67.15 	have notice of the lien or pledge. Neither the order nor any other instrument by which a 
67.16 	pledge is created need be recorded.
67.17 		Subd. 8.Bonds; purchase and cancellation. The commissioner of finance, subject 
67.18 	to agreements with bondholders that may then exist, may, out of any money available for

67.26 	in the commissioner of finance to fulfill the terms of any agreements made with the 
67.27 	bondholders, or in any way impair the rights and remedies of the holders until the bonds,

67.29 	costs and expenses in connection with any action or proceeding by or on behalf of the 
67.30 	bondholders, are fully met and discharged. The commissioner of finance may include this
