18.7 	are appropriated to the state chief information officer for completion of the Minnesota 
18.8 	electronic licensing system, for transferring licensing agencies to the system, and for 
18.9 	operation and maintenance of the system during the completion and transfer period.
18.10 		Subd. 2.Requirements. The transfer of an existing electronic licensing system 
18.11 	to the Minnesota electronic licensing system may not reduce the critical functionality 
18.12 	provided by the existing system.
18.13 		Subd. 3.Temporary licensing surcharge. (a) Except as provided in subdivision 5, 
18.14 	executive branch state agencies shall collect a temporary surcharge of ten percent of the 
18.15 	licensing fee, but no less than $5 and no more than $150 on each business, commercial, 
18.16 	professional, or occupational license that: 
18.17 	(1) requires a fee; and
18.18 	(2) will be transferred to the Minnesota electronic licensing system, as determined 
18.19 	by the state chief information officer.
18.20 	The surcharge applies to initial license applications and license renewals. Each agency 
18.21 	that issues a license subject to this subdivision shall collect the surcharge for the license 
18.22 	for up to six years between July 1, 2009, and June 30, 2015, as directed by the state 
18.23 	chief information officer. Receipts from the surcharge shall be deposited in the statewide 
18.24 	licensing account established in subdivision 1.
18.25 	(b) An agency may transfer an amount equivalent to the surcharge imposed under 
18.26 	this section from existing license accounts in lieu of collecting the surcharge required 
18.27 	under this section. If a transfer is made under this paragraph, the temporary surcharge 
18.28 	required under paragraph (a) does not apply to the relevant license. Receipts from 
18.29 	transfers received under this paragraph shall be deposited in the statewide licensing 
18.30 	account established in subdivision 1.
18.31 		Subd. 4.Contract authority. The state chief information officer may enter into 
18.32 	a risk-share or phased agreement with a vendor to complete the Minnesota electronic 
18.33 	licensing system and to transfer licensing agencies to the system, provided that the 
18.34 	payment for the vendor's services under the agreement is limited to the revenue from the 
18.35 	surcharge enacted under subdivision 2, after payment of state operating and maintenance 
19.1 	costs. The agreement must clearly indicate that the state chief information officer may 
19.2 	only expend amounts actually collected from the surcharge, after state operations and 
19.3 	maintenance costs have been paid, in payment for the vendor's services and that the vendor 
19.4 	assumes this risk when performing work under the contract. This section does not require 
19.5 	the state chief information officer to pay the vendor the entire amount of the surcharge 
19.6 	revenue that remains after payment of state operations and maintenance costs. Before 
19.7 	entering into a contract under this subdivision, the state chief information officer must 
19.8 	consult with the commissioner of finance regarding the implementation of the surcharge 
19.9 	and the terms of the contract.
19.10 		Subd. 5.Unused funds. Money remaining in the statewide electronic licensing 
19.11 	account after payment of all costs of completing the Minnesota electronic licensing 
19.12 	system, transferring licensing agencies to the system, and operating and maintaining 
19.13 	the system during the completion and transfer period is appropriated for the costs of 
19.14 	operating and maintaining the Minnesota electronic licensing system after the system 
19.15 	has been completed.
19.16 		Subd. 6.Priority. To the extent possible, in completing the Minnesota electronic 
19.17 	licensing system, the state chief information officer must give priority to licenses that are 
19.18 	not issued electronically. Licenses regulated by a health board under chapter 214 must not 
19.19 	be transferred to the Minnesota electronic licensing system before July 1, 2011.
19.20 		Subd. 7.Exemption.  The licenses included within the electronic licensing system 
19.21 	established under section 45.24 are not subject to the surcharge required under subdivision 
19.22 	2.
19.23 		Subd. 8.Expiration. This section expires on June 30, 2017.

19.24 	Sec. 12. Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 43A.49, is amended to read:

19.29 	Each appointing authority approving such a leave shall allow the employee to continue 
19.30 	accruing vacation and sick leave, be eligible for paid holidays and insurance benefits, 
19.31 	accrue seniority, and accrue service credit and credited salary in the state retirement plans 
19.32 	as if the employee had actually been employed during the time of leave. An employee 
19.33 	covered by the unclassified plan may voluntarily make the employee contributions to the 
19.34 	unclassified plan during the leave of absence. If the employee makes these contributions, 
19.35 	the appointing authority must make the employer contribution. If the leave of absence 
20.1 	is for one full pay period or longer, any holiday pay shall be included in the first payroll 
20.2 	warrant after return from the leave of absence. The appointing authority shall attempt 
20.3 	to grant requests for the unpaid leaves of absence consistent with the need to continue
