20.7 		Subd. 3a.Information provided. All requests for state assistance under this section

20.27 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 161.04, is amended by adding a subdivision 
20.28 	to read:
20.29 		Subd. 6.Trunk highway economic development account. (a) The trunk highway 
20.30 	economic development account is created in the trunk highway fund. Money in the 
20.31 	account is annually appropriated to the commissioner and does not lapse. Interest earned 
20.32 	from investment of money in this account must be deposited in the trunk highway 
20.33 	economic development account.
21.1 	(b) Money in the account must be used to fund construction, reconstruction, and 
21.2 	improvement of trunk highways that will promote economic development, increase 
21.3 	employment, and relieve growing traffic congestion.
21.4 	(c) The commissioner shall design a project application and selection process to 
21.5 	distribute money in the account. The process must include specified eligibility and 
21.6 	prioritizing criteria.
21.7 	(d) Money in the account must be allocated 50 percent to the department's 
21.8 	metropolitan district, and 50 percent to districts in greater Minnesota except as provided 
21.9 	in this paragraph. If there are not sufficient project applications that meet eligibility and 
21.10 	prioritizing criteria in either the metropolitan district or greater Minnesota districts to 
21.11 	permit an equal division of available money, the commissioner shall fund projects that 
21.12 	meet the selection criteria without regard to location in the state.

21.13 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 162.06, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
21.14 		Subdivision 1.Estimate. (a) By December 15 of each year the commissioner shall 
21.15 	estimate the amount of money that will be available to the county state-aid highway fund 
21.16 	during that fiscal year. The amount available must be based on actual receipts from July 
21.17 	1 through November 30 October 31, the unallocated fund balance, and the projected 
21.18 	receipts for the remainder of the fiscal year. The amount available, except for deductions 
21.19 	as provided in this section, shall be apportioned by the commissioner to the counties as 
21.20 	provided in section 162.07.
21.21 	(b) For purposes of this section, "amount available" means the amount estimated in 
21.22 	paragraph (a).

21.23 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 162.081, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
21.24 		Subd. 4.Formula for distribution to towns; purposes. (a) Money apportioned to 
21.25 	a county from the town road account must be distributed to the treasurer of each town 
21.26 	within the county, according to a distribution formula adopted by the county board. 
21.27 	The formula must take into account each town's levy for road and bridge purposes, its 
21.28 	population and town road mileage, and other factors the county board deems advisable 
21.29 	in the interests of achieving equity among the towns. Distribution of town road funds 
21.30 	to each town treasurer must be made by March 1, annually, or within 30 days after 
21.31 	receipt of payment from the commissioner. Distribution of funds to town treasurers in a 
21.32 	county which has not adopted a distribution formula under this subdivision must be made 
21.33 	according to a formula prescribed by the commissioner by rule. A formula adopted by a 
21.34 	county board or by the commissioner must provide that a town, in order to be eligible for 
22.1 	distribution of funds from the town road account in a calendar year, must have levied for 
22.2 	taxes payable in the previous year for road and bridge purposes at least 0.04835 percent of 
22.3 	taxable market value. For purposes of this eligibility requirement, taxable market value 
22.4 	means taxable market value for taxes payable two years prior to the aid distribution year
22.5 	an amount equal to or greater than the amount distributed to that town from the town road 
22.6 	account under this section in the year prior to the previous year.
22.7 	(b) Money distributed to a town under this subdivision may be expended by the 
22.8 	town only for the construction, reconstruction, and gravel maintenance of town roads 
22.9 	within the town.

22.10 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 162.12, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
22.11 		Subdivision 1.Estimate of accruals. By December 15 of each year the 
22.12 	commissioner shall estimate the amount of money that will be available to the municipal 
22.13 	state-aid street fund during that fiscal year. The amount available is based on actual
