41.22 	service of process under section 80A.88 (or has previously filed such a consent), and has 
41.23 	furnished the administrator with a written general description of the transaction and any 
41.24 	other information that the administrator requires by rule or otherwise; and 
41.25 	(C) a cooperative may, at or about the same time as offers or sales are being 
41.26 	completed in reliance upon the exemptions from registration found in this subpart and as 
41.27 	part of a common plan of financing, offer or sell its securities in reliance upon any other

41.30 	of or be integrated with any offer or sale of securities conducted by the cooperative in 
41.31 	reliance upon any other exemption from registration available under this chapter, nor will 
41.32 	offers or sales of securities by the cooperative in reliance upon any other exemption from 
41.33 	registration available under this chapter be considered or deemed a part of or be integrated

42.3 	of one-tenth of one percent of the maximum aggregate offering price at which the securities 
42.4 	are to be offered in this state, and the maximum combined fees shall not exceed $300.
42.5 	(b) When an application for registration is withdrawn before the effective date 
42.6 	or a preeffective stop order is entered under section 80A.54, all but the $100 filing fee 
42.7 	shall be returned. If an application to register securities is denied, the total of all fees 
42.8 	received shall be retained.
42.9 	(c) Where a filing is made in connection with a federal covered security under 
42.10 	section 18(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, there is a fee of $100 for every initial filing. 
42.11 	If the filing is made in connection with redeemable securities issued by an open end

42.13 	of 1940, there is an additional annual fee of 1/20 1/10 of one percent of the maximum

42.16 	connection with each renewal no later than July 1 of each year and must be sufficient to 
42.17 	cover the shares the issuer expects to sell in this state over the next 12 months. If during a 
42.18 	current notice filing the issuer determines it is likely to sell shares in excess of the shares 
42.19 	for which fees have been paid to the administrator, the issuer shall submit an amended 
42.20 	notice filing to the administrator under section 80A.50, together with a fee of 1/20 1/10
42.21 	of one percent of the maximum aggregate offering price of the additional shares. Shares 
42.22 	for which a fee has been paid, but which have not been sold at the time of expiration of 
42.23 	the notice filing, may not be sold unless an additional fee to cover the shares has been 
42.24 	paid to the administrator as provided in this section and section 80A.50. If the filing is 
42.25 	made in connection with redeemable securities issued by such a company or trust, there 
42.26 	is no maximum fee for securities filings made according to this paragraph. If the filing 
42.27 	is made in connection with any other federal covered security under Section 18(b)(2) of 
42.28 	the Securities Act of 1933, there is an additional fee of one-tenth of one percent of the 
42.29 	maximum aggregate offering price at which the securities are to be offered in this state, 
42.30 	and the combined fees shall not exceed $300. Fees collected under this subdivision are 
42.31 	exempted under section 16A.1285, subdivision 2.

109.7 	by the amount of unrealized savings; and
109.8 	(2) submit a report by February 15, 
109.9 	2010, to the chairs and ranking minority 
109.10 	members of the house of representatives 
109.11 	and senate committees with jurisdiction 
109.12 	over public safety policy and finance that 
109.13 	contains descriptions of what efforts the 
109.14 	commissioner made to reduce the per diem, 
109.15 	explanations for why those steps failed to

109.17 	legislative options that would assist the 
109.18 	commissioner in reducing the adult facility 
109.19 	per diem, and descriptions of the specific 
109.20 	actions the commissioner took to reduce 
109.21 	funding in operations support.
109.22 	If the commissioner reduces the per diem 
109.23 	by more than one percent, the commissioner 
109.24 	must use the savings to provide treatment to 
109.25 	offenders.
109.26 	(e) Reductions to Certain Programming 
109.27 	Prohibited. When allocating reductions 
109.28 	in services and programming under this

139.30 	477A.0133. For aids payable in 2011 and thereafter, the total aid for any city means the 
139.31 	amount of aid it was certified to receive under this section in the previous payable year.
139.32 	(c) For aids payable in 2010 and thereafter, the total aid for any city shall not exceed
