15.3 	technology system for the fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2011 biennium. On or before

15.7 	2009 funds or by contributing from fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2011 funds to the real 
15.8 	property enterprise system and services account to fund the total amount of $399,000 for

15.10 	until June 30, 2013. Funds contributed under this section must be credited to the enterprise 
15.11 	real property technology system and services account.

15.12 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment.

15.13 	Sec. 36. PROBLEM GAMBLING APPROPRIATION.
 15.14 	$225,000 in fiscal year 2012 and $225,000 in fiscal year 2013 are appropriated from 
15.15 	the lottery prize fund to the Gambling Control Board for a grant to the state affiliate 
15.16 	recognized by the National Council on Problem Gambling. The affiliate must provide 
15.17 	services to increase public awareness of problem gambling, education and training for 
15.18 	individuals and organizations providing effective treatment services to problem gamblers 
15.19 	and their families, and research relating to problem gambling. These services must be 
15.20 	complementary to and not duplicative of the services provided through the problem 
15.21 	gambling program administered by the commissioner of human services. Of this 
15.22 	appropriation, $50,000 in fiscal year 2012 and $50,000 in fiscal year 2013 are contingent 
15.23 	on the contribution of nonstate matching funds. Matching funds may be either cash or 
15.24 	qualifying in-kind contributions. The commissioner of management and budget may 
15.25 	disburse the state portion of the matching funds in increments of $25,000 upon receipt 
15.26 	of a commitment for an equal amount of matching nonstate funds. These are onetime

15.31 	and budget must reduce general fund appropriations to executive agencies, including 
15.32 	constitutional offices, for agency operations for the biennium ending June 30, 2013, by 
15.33 	$1,726,000 due to savings from verification of dependent eligibility for state employee 
16.1 	group insurance coverage. The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities is not an 
16.2 	executive agency for purposes of this subdivision.
16.3 	If savings obtained through verification of dependent eligibility for state employee 
16.4 	group insurance coverage yield savings in nongeneral funds other than those established 
16.5 	in the state constitution or protected by federal law, the commissioner of management and 
16.6 	budget may transfer the amount of savings to the general fund. The amount transferred 
16.7 	to the general fund from other funds reduces the required general fund reduction in this 
16.8 	section. Reductions made in 2013 must be reflected as reductions in agency base budgets 
16.9 	for fiscal years 2014 and 2015. The commissioner of management and budget must report 
16.10 	to the chairs and ranking minority members of the senate Finance Committee and the 
16.11 	house of representatives Ways and Means Committee regarding the amount of reductions 
16.12 	in spending by each agency under this subdivision.
16.13 		Subd. 2.Savings from other reforms. If the commissioner of management and 
16.14 	budget determines that during the biennium ending June 30, 2013, the reforms in this 
16.15 	act other than verification of dependent eligibility result in cost savings to nongeneral 
16.16 	funds other than those established in the state constitution or protected by federal law, 
16.17 	the commissioner may transfer the amount of the savings to the general fund. The 
16.18 	commissioner must report to the chairs and ranking minority members of the senate 
16.19 	Finance Committee and the house of representatives Ways and Means Committee 
16.20 	regarding transfers under this subdivision.

 16.22 	By January 15, 2012, and January 15, 2013, the Minnesota Humanities Commission, 
16.23 	Council on Black Minnesotans, Council on Asian-Pacific Minnesotans, Council on Affairs 
16.24 	of Chicano/Latino People, and Indian Affairs Council must each report to the chairs 
16.25 	and ranking minority members of the legislative committees with jurisdiction over the 
16.26 	groups. The reports must describe the results obtained with the appropriations in this act, 
16.27 	including a description and evaluation of how the groups accomplished their statutory 
16.28 	duties in the preceding year.

16.29 	Sec. 39. TAX COMPLIANCE; TAX ANALYTICS AND BUSINESS 
16.30 	INTELLIGENCE TOOLS.
 16.31 		Subdivision 1.Program activities. (a) The commissioner of revenue is authorized 
16.32 	to implement a program of tax compliance including the use of advanced tax analytics 
16.33 	and business intelligence tools to enhance tax assessment and collection by improving 
16.34 	the means to identify taxpayers that should be subject to audit and collection activities 
17.1 	and by prioritizing those activities to provide a higher rate of return on the activities of 
17.2 	Department of Revenue employees.
17.3 	(b) To implement the program authorized by this section, the commissioner of 
17.4 	revenue may enter into contracts as the commissioner deems necessary to obtain or create 
17.5 	tax analytics and business intelligence tools.
17.6 	(c) Any contract entered into under this section is subject to Minnesota Statutes, 
17.7 	section 16C.082.
17.8 		Subd. 2.Implementation. To implement the program authorized by this section, 
17.9 	the commissioner of revenue may hire employees as the commissioner deems necessary. 
17.10 	The commissioner of revenue shall manage the number of full-time equivalent employees 
17.11 	of the Department of Revenue so that by the end of fiscal year 2015 any new employees 
17.12 	hired to carry out the program authorized by this section will be matched by a reduction in 
17.13 	the total number of full-time equivalent employees by the end of fiscal year 2015.
17.14 		Subd. 3.New general fund revenues. The program implemented by this section is

17.17 		Subd. 4.Legislative report. The commissioner of revenue shall report to the

17.20 	authorized by this section.

 17.23 	If, in preparation of end-of-session fund statements following the 2011 first special 
17.24 	session, the commissioner of management and budget determines the impact of the 
17.25 	enacted fiscal years 2012-2013 omnibus appropriation bills result in a projected negative 
17.26 	general fund unrestricted budgetary balance for the biennium ending June 30, 2013, the 
17.27 	commissioner shall reduce the general fund cash flow account in Minnesota Statutes, 
17.28 	section 16A.152, by an amount sufficient to balance biennial resources and expenditures 
17.29 	after notifying the chairs of the house Ways And Means Committee and the senate

26.32 	Sec. 14. [3D.13] REVIEW OF ADVISORY COMMITTEES.
27.1 	An advisory committee, the primary function of which is to advise a particular state

27.5 	(a) The following departments and agencies must be reviewed according to the 
27.6 	schedule in section 3D.21, but do not expire according to that schedule, unless another law 
27.7 	is enacted providing that the entity does expire:
27.8 	(1) a department or agency listed in section 15.01, or section 15.06, subdivision 1 
27.9 	or 1a; and

27.12 	(b) During the regular session immediately before the sunset of a state agency or an 
27.13 	advisory committee that expires under section 3D.21, the legislature may enact legislation 
27.14 	to continue the agency or advisory committee for a period not to exceed 12 years. This 
27.15 	chapter does not prohibit the legislature from:
27.16 	(1) terminating a state agency or advisory committee subject to this chapter at a date 
27.17 	earlier than that provided in this chapter; or
27.18 	(2) considering any other legislation relative to a state agency or advisory committee 
27.19 	subject to this chapter.

27.20 	Sec. 16. [3D.15] PROCEDURE AFTER TERMINATION.
27.21 		Subdivision 1.Termination. Unless otherwise provided by law: 
27.22 	(1) if after sunset review a state agency is abolished, the agency may continue in 
27.23 	existence until June 30 of the following year to conclude its business; 
27.24 	(2) abolishment does not reduce or otherwise limit the powers and authority of the 
27.25 	state agency during the concluding year; and
27.26 	(3) a state agency is terminated and shall cease all activities at the expiration of 
27.27 	the one-year period.
27.28 		Subd. 2.Funds of abolished agency or advisory committee. (a) Except as 
27.29 	provided by other law, any unobligated and unexpended appropriations of an abolished 
27.30 	agency or advisory committee lapse on June 30 of the year after abolishment.
27.31 	(b) Except as provided by subdivision 4 or as otherwise provided by law, all money 
27.32 	in a dedicated fund of an abolished state agency or advisory committee on June 30 of the 
27.33 	year after abolishment is transferred to the general fund. The part of the law dedicating 
28.1 	the money to a specific fund of an abolished agency becomes void on June 30 of the year 
28.2 	after abolishment.
28.3 	(c) If an appropriation exists in law for the functions or obligations transferred in 
28.4 	subdivision 3 or 4, that appropriation is transferred to the commissioner of administration 
28.5 	for the purposes of those subdivisions.
28.6 		Subd. 3.Property, rules, and functions of an abolished agency. (a) Unless the 
28.7 	governor designates an appropriate state agency as prescribed by subdivision 4, property 
28.8 	and records in the custody of an abolished state agency or advisory committee on June 30 
28.9 	of the year after abolishment must be transferred to the commissioner of administration. 
28.10 	If the governor designates an appropriate state agency, the property and records must be 
28.11 	transferred to the designated state agency.
28.12 	(b) Unless otherwise provided by law, statutory duties of an abolished state agency 
28.13 	are transferred to the commissioner of administration, and section 16B.38 applies. All 
28.14 	rules adopted by the abolished agency remain effective and shall be enforced by the 
28.15 	commissioner of administration, and rulemaking authority of the abolished agency is 
28.16 	transferred to the commissioner of administration. The commissioner of administration 
28.17 	may use authority under section 16B.37 to transfer duties of an abolished agency that have 
28.18 	been transferred to the commissioner of administration. Transfers under section 16B.37 
28.19 	are effective upon filing with the secretary of state, even if a reorganization order transfers 
28.20 	all or substantially all of the powers or duties of a department.
28.21 		Subd. 4.Continuing obligations. (a) The legislature recognizes the state's 
28.22 	continuing obligation to pay bonded indebtedness and all other obligations, including 
28.23 	lease, contract, and other written obligations, incurred by a state agency or advisory 
28.24 	committee abolished under this chapter, and this chapter does not impair or impede the 
28.25 	payment of bonded indebtedness and all other obligations, including lease, contract, and 
28.26 	other written obligations, in accordance with their terms. If an abolished state agency or 
28.27 	advisory committee has outstanding bonded indebtedness or other outstanding obligations, 
28.28 	including lease, contract, and other written obligations, the bonds and all other obligations, 
28.29 	including lease, contract, and other written obligations, remain valid and enforceable in 
28.30 	accordance with their terms and subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the laws 
28.31 	and proceedings authorizing the bonds and all other obligations, including lease, contract, 
28.32 	and other written obligations.
28.33 	(b) The governor shall designate an appropriate state agency that shall continue to 
28.34 	carry out all covenants contained in the bonds and in all other obligations, including lease, 
28.35 	contract, and other written obligations, and the proceedings authorizing them, including 
28.36 	the issuance of bonds, and the performance of all other obligations, including lease, 
29.1 	contract, and other written obligations, to complete the construction of projects or the 
29.2 	performance of other obligations, including lease, contract, and other written obligations.
29.3 	(c) The designated state agency shall provide payment from the sources of payment 
29.4 	of the bonds in accordance with the terms of the bonds and shall provide payment from 
29.5 	the sources of payment of all other obligations, including lease, contract, and other written 
29.6 	obligations, in accordance with their terms, whether from taxes, revenues, or otherwise, 
29.7 	until the bonds and interest on the bonds are paid in full and all other obligations, 
29.8 	including lease, contract, and other written obligations, are performed and paid in full. 
29.9 	If the proceedings so provide, all funds established by laws or proceedings authorizing 
29.10 	the bonds or authorizing other obligations, including lease, contract, and other written 
29.11 	obligations, must remain with the comptroller or the previously designated trustees. If the 
29.12 	proceedings do not provide that the funds remain with the comptroller or the previously 
29.13 	designated trustees, the funds must be transferred to the designated state agency.

29.14 	Sec. 17. [3D.16] ASSISTANCE OF AND ACCESS TO STATE AGENCIES.
29.15 	The commission may request the assistance of state agencies and officers. When 
29.16 	assistance is requested, a state agency or officer shall assist the commission. In carrying 
29.17 	out its functions under this chapter, the commission or its designated staff member may 
29.18 	inspect the records, documents, and files of any state agency. 

29.19 	Sec. 18. [3D.17] RELOCATION OF EMPLOYEES.
29.20 	If an employee is displaced because a state agency or its advisory committee is 
29.21 	abolished or reorganized, the state agency shall make a reasonable effort to relocate the 
29.22 	displaced employee.

29.23 	Sec. 19. [3D.18] SAVING PROVISION.
29.24 	Except as otherwise expressly provided, abolition of a state agency does not affect 
29.25 	rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, civil or criminal liabilities that 
29.26 	arose, or proceedings that were begun before the effective date of the abolition.

29.27 	Sec. 20. [3D.19] REVIEW OF PROPOSED LEGISLATION CREATING AN 
29.28 	AGENCY.
29.29 	Each bill filed in a house of the legislature that would create a new state agency or 
29.30 	a new advisory committee to a state agency shall be reviewed by the commission. The 
29.31 	commission shall review the bill to determine if:
30.1 	(1) the proposed functions of the agency or committee could be administered by one 
30.2 	or more existing state agencies or advisory committees; 
30.3 	(2) the form of regulation, if any, proposed by the bill is the least restrictive form of 
30.4 	regulation that will adequately protect the public; 
30.5 	(3) the bill provides for adequate public input regarding any regulatory function 
30.6 	proposed by the bill; and 
30.7 	(4) the bill provides for adequate protection against conflicts of interest within 
30.8 	the agency or committee.

30.9 	Sec. 21. [3D.20] GIFTS AND GRANTS.

30.12 	any activity under this chapter. All gifts, grants, and donations must be accepted in an

32.25 	group of employees whose suggestion or involvement in a project is determined by the 
32.26 	commissioner to have resulted in documented cost-savings to the state. Before authorizing

33.6 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment.

33.7 	Sec. 27. [16A.94] PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE PROGRAM.
33.8 		Subdivision 1.Pilot program established. The commissioner shall implement a

33.15 	served by each service selected;
33.16 	(3) identify criteria to evaluate whether a service has met the performance 
33.17 	conditions; and

33.20 	Human Services, Employment and Economic Development, and Administration, or their 
33.21 	designees; a representative of a nonprofit organization with experience in performance 
33.22 	contracting; and any other person or organization that the commissioner determines would 
33.23 	be of assistance in developing and implementing the pilot program.
33.24 		Subd. 3.Contracts. The commissioner and the commissioner of the agency with a 
33.25 	service to be provided through the pilot program may enter into a pay-for-performance 
33.26 	contract with a provider that meets the criteria identified by the oversight committee. 
33.27 	The contract must specify the service to be provided, the time frame in which it is to be 
33.28 	provided, the outcome required for payment, and any other terms deemed necessary 
33.29 	or convenient for implementation of the pilot program. The commissioner shall pay a 
33.30 	provider that has met the terms and conditions of a contract with money appropriated to the 
33.31 	commissioner from the special appropriation bond proceeds account established in section 
33.32 	16A.96. At a minimum, before the commissioner pays a provider, the commissioner must 
33.33 	determine that the provider has met the return on investment criteria in subdivision 4.

34.10 	estimated state costs in financing and administering the pilot program through documented 
34.11 	increased state tax revenue or cost avoidance.
34.12 		Subd. 5.Report to governor and legislature. The commissioner must report to the 
34.13 	governor and legislative committees with jurisdiction over capital investment, finance, and 
34.14 	ways and means, and the services included in the pilot program, by January 15 of each 
34.15 	year following a year in which the pilot program is operating. The report must describe 
34.16 	and discuss the criteria for selection and evaluation of services to be provided through 
34.17 	the program, the net benefits to the state of the program, the state's return on investment, 
34.18 	the cost of the services provided by other means in the most recent past, the time frame 
34.19 	for payment for the services, and the timing and costs for sale and issuance of the bonds 
34.20 	authorized in section 16A.96.

34.22 	Sec. 28. [16A.96] MINNESOTA PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE PROGRAM; 
34.23 	APPROPRIATION BONDS.
34.24 		Subdivision 1.Definitions. (a) The definitions in this subdivision apply to this 
34.25 	section.
34.26 	(b) "Appropriation bond" means a bond, note, or other similar instrument of the state 
34.27 	payable during a biennium from one or more of the following sources:
34.28 	(1) money appropriated by law in any biennium for debt service due with respect 
34.29 	to obligations described in subdivision 2, paragraph (b);
34.30 	(2) proceeds of the sale of obligations described in subdivision 2, paragraph (b);
34.31 	(3) payments received for that purpose under agreements and ancillary arrangements 
34.32 	described in subdivision 2, paragraph (d); and
34.33 	(4) investment earnings on amounts in clauses (1) to (3).
34.34 	(c) "Debt service" means the amount payable in any biennium of principal, premium, 
34.35 	if any, and interest on appropriation bonds.
35.1 		Subd. 2.Authority. (a) Subject to the limitations of this subdivision, the 
35.2 	commissioner of management and budget may sell and issue appropriation bonds of the 
35.3 	state under this section for the purposes of the Minnesota pay-for-performance program 
35.4 	established in sections 16A.93 to 16A.96. Proceeds of the bonds must be credited to 
35.5 	a special appropriation bond proceeds account in the state treasury. Net income from 
35.6 	investment of the proceeds, as estimated by the commissioner, must be credited to the 
35.7 	special appropriation bond proceeds account.
35.8 	(b) Appropriation bonds may be sold and issued in amounts that, in the opinion of 
35.9 	the commissioner, are necessary to provide sufficient funds for achieving the purposes 
35.10 	authorized as provided under paragraph (a), and pay debt service, pay costs of issuance, 
35.11 	make deposits to reserve funds, pay the costs of credit enhancement, or make payments 
35.12 	under other agreements entered into under paragraph (d); provided, however, that bonds 
35.13 	issued and unpaid shall not exceed $10,000,000 in principal amount, excluding refunding 
35.14 	bonds sold and issued under subdivision 4. During the biennium ending June 30, 2013, 
35.15 	the commissioner may sell and issue bonds only in an amount that the commissioner 
35.16 	determines will result in principal and interest payments less than the amount of savings to 
35.17 	be generated through pay-for-performance contracts under section 16A.94. For programs 
35.18 	achieving savings under a pay-for-performance contract, the commissioner must reduce 
35.19 	general fund appropriations by at least the amount of principal and interest payments on 
35.20 	bonds issued under this section.
35.21 	(c) Appropriation bonds may be issued in one or more series on the terms and 
35.22 	conditions the commissioner determines to be in the best interests of the state, but the term 
35.23 	on any series of bonds may not exceed 20 years.
35.24 	(d) At the time of, or in anticipation of, issuing the appropriation bonds, and at any 
35.25 	time thereafter, so long as the appropriation bonds are outstanding, the commissioner 
35.26 	may enter into agreements and ancillary arrangements relating to the appropriation 
35.27 	bonds, including but not limited to trust indentures, liquidity facilities, remarketing or 
35.28 	dealer agreements, letter of credit agreements, insurance policies, guaranty agreements, 
35.29 	reimbursement agreements, indexing agreements, or interest exchange agreements. Any 
35.30 	payments made or received according to the agreement or ancillary arrangement shall be 
35.31 	made from or deposited as provided in the agreement or ancillary arrangement. The 
35.32 	determination of the commissioner included in an interest exchange agreement that the 
35.33 	agreement relates to an appropriation bond shall be conclusive.
35.34 		Subd. 3.Form; procedure. (a) Appropriation bonds may be issued in the form 
35.35 	of bonds, notes, or other similar instruments, and in the manner provided in section 
36.1 	16A.672. In the event that any provision of section 16A.672 conflicts with this section, 
36.2 	this section shall control.
36.3 	(b) Every appropriation bond shall include a conspicuous statement of the limitation 
36.4 	established in subdivision 6.
36.5 	(c) Appropriation bonds may be sold at either public or private sale upon such terms 
36.6 	as the commissioner shall determine are not inconsistent with this section and may be sold 
36.7 	at any price or percentage of par value. Any bid received may be rejected.
36.8 	(d) Appropriation bonds may bear interest at a fixed or variable rate.
36.9 		Subd. 4.Refunding bonds. The commissioner from time to time may issue 
36.10 	appropriation bonds for the purpose of refunding any appropriation bonds then 
36.11 	outstanding, including the payment of any redemption premiums on the bonds, any 
36.12 	interest accrued or to accrue to the redemption date, and costs related to the issuance 
36.13 	and sale of the refunding bonds. The proceeds of any refunding bonds may, in the 
36.14 	discretion of the commissioner, be applied to the purchase or payment at maturity of the 
36.15 	appropriation bonds to be refunded, to the redemption of the outstanding bonds on any 
36.16 	redemption date, or to pay interest on the refunding bonds and may, pending application, 
36.17 	be placed in escrow to be applied to the purchase, payment, retirement, or redemption. 
36.18 	Any escrowed proceeds, pending such use, may be invested and reinvested in obligations 
36.19 	that are authorized investments under section 11A.24. The income earned or realized on 
36.20 	the investment may also be applied to the payment of the bonds to be refunded or interest 
36.21 	or premiums on the refunded bonds, or to pay interest on the refunding bonds. After 
36.22 	the terms of the escrow have been fully satisfied, any balance of the proceeds and any 
36.23 	investment income may be returned to the general fund or, if applicable, the appropriation 
36.24 	bond proceeds account for use in any lawful manner. All refunding bonds issued under 
36.25 	this subdivision must be prepared, executed, delivered, and secured by appropriations in 
36.26 	the same manner as the bonds to be refunded.
36.27 		Subd. 5.Appropriation bonds as legal investments. Any of the following entities 
36.28 	may legally invest any sinking funds, money, or other funds belonging to them or under

36.31 	subdivisions, and public bodies;
36.32 	(2) banks and bankers, savings and loan associations, credit unions, trust companies, 
36.33 	savings banks and institutions, investment companies, insurance companies, insurance 
36.34 	associations, and other persons carrying on a banking or insurance business; and
36.35 	(3) personal representatives, guardians, trustees, and other fiduciaries.
37.1 		Subd. 6.No full faith and credit; state not required to make appropriations.
 37.2 	The appropriation bonds are not public debt of the state, and the full faith, credit, and 
37.3 	taxing powers of the state are not pledged to the payment of the appropriation bonds or to 
37.4 	any payment that the state agrees to make under this section. Appropriation bonds shall 
37.5 	not be obligations paid directly, in whole or in part, from a tax of statewide application 
37.6 	on any class of property, income, transaction, or privilege. Appropriation bonds shall be 
37.7 	payable in each fiscal year only from amounts that the legislature may appropriate for debt 
37.8 	service for any fiscal year, provided that nothing in this section shall be construed to 
37.9 	require the state to appropriate funds sufficient to make debt service payments with respect 
37.10 	to the bonds in any fiscal year.
37.11 		Subd. 7.Appropriation of proceeds. The proceeds of appropriation bonds and 
37.12 	interest credited to the special appropriation bond proceeds account are appropriated to 
37.13 	the commissioner for payment of contract obligations under the pay-for-performance 
37.14 	program, as permitted by state and federal law, reasonable administrative costs of the 
37.15 	program that are directly attributable to the program, issuance costs, and nonsalary 
37.16 	expenses incurred in conjunction with the sale of the appropriation bonds.
37.17 		Subd. 8.Appropriation for debt service. The amount needed to pay principal and 
37.18 	interest on appropriation bonds issued under this section is appropriated each year to the 
37.19 	commissioner from the general fund subject to the repeal, unallotment under section 
37.20 	16A.152, or cancellation otherwise pursuant to subdivision 6.
37.21 		Subd. 9.Administrative costs. The commissioner may accept donations from 
37.22 	private sources to defray administrative costs under this section. Amounts received are 
37.23 	appropriated to the commissioner.

37.24 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment.

37.25 	Sec. 29. [16C.075] E-VERIFY.
37.26 	A contract for services valued in excess of $50,000 must require certification from 
37.27 	the vendor and any subcontractors that, as of the date services on behalf of the state of 
37.28 	Minnesota will be performed, the vendor and all subcontractors have implemented or are 
37.29 	in the process of implementing the federal E-Verify program for all newly hired employees 
37.30 	in the United States who will perform work on behalf of the state of Minnesota. This 
37.31 	section does not apply to contracts entered into by the State Board of Investment.

37.32 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment, 
37.33 	and applies to contracts entered into on or after that date.

38.1 	Sec. 30. [16D.18] RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT.
38.2 	(a) The commissioner is authorized to enter into agreements with the federal 
38.3 	Department of the Treasury that provide for offsetting state payments against federal 
38.4 	nontax obligations. Except as provided in paragraph (d), the commissioner may charge a 
38.5 	fee of $20 per transaction for such offsets and may collect this offset fee from the debtor 
38.6 	by deducting it from the state payment. The agreement may provide for offsetting federal 
38.7 	payments, as authorized by federal law, against state tax and nontax obligations, and 
38.8 	collecting the offset cost from the debtor. The agreement shall provide that the federal 
38.9 	Department of the Treasury may deduct a fee from each administrative offset and state 
38.10 	payment offset. Setoffs to collect state and other entity obligations under chapters 16D, 
38.11 	270A, 270C, and any other provision of Minnesota Statutes occur before a state payment 
38.12 	offset. For purposes of this paragraph "administrative offset" is any offset of federal 
38.13 	payments to collect state debts and "state payment offset" is any offset of state payments 
38.14 	to collect federal nontax debts. 
38.15 	(b) A debt is eligible for offset under this program if notice of intent to offset the 
38.16 	debt is sent at least 60 days prior to filing an offset claim or a shorter period of time, if 
38.17 	required by federal law or an agreement with the federal Department of the Treasury. 
38.18 	When there is an agreement for scheduled payments on an account, the debtor must be 
38.19 	sent this notice each time an additional debt is claimed.
38.20 	(c) The debtor shall have the time period required for notice under paragraph (b) to 
38.21 	contest the offset. An agreement under this section must not allow for offset of payments 
38.22 	if the debt that would be subject to the offset is being contested or if the time for appealing 
38.23 	the determination of the debt has not yet expired. The treasury offset program agreement 
38.24 	entered into by the state must not require federal agencies to provide different due process 
38.25 	than the requirements under Code of Federal Regulations, title 31, section 285.6.
38.26 	(d) Notwithstanding the fee authorized under paragraph (a), if the commissioner 
38.27 	enters into a contingency fee agreement with a nonstate vendor to provide assistance 
38.28 	under this section, the commissioner may charge a debtor a fee for the processing of state 
38.29 	payment offsets for the recovery of federal nontax debts or the processing of federal 
38.30 	payment offsets for the recovery of state tax and nontax debt. The fee is a separate debt 
38.31 	and may be withheld from any refund, reimbursement, or other money held for the debtor. 
38.32 	The fee may not exceed 15 percent of the original debt. Section 16A.1283 does not apply 
38.33 	to fees charged under this paragraph.

38.34 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment. As 
38.35 	soon as possible after that date, the commissioner must discuss an agreement authorized 
38.36 	under this section with appropriate federal officials, and if an agreement is entered into, 
39.1 	the commissioner must begin to implement it to collect debts owed to the state as soon as 
39.2 	possible.

39.3 	Sec. 31. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 37.06, is amended to read:
39.4 	37.06 SECRETARY; LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR; DUTIES; REPORT.
39.5 	The secretary shall keep a complete record of the proceedings of the annual meetings 
39.6 	of the State Agricultural Society and all meetings of the board of managers and any 
39.7 	committee of the board, keep all accounts of the society other than those kept by the 
39.8 	treasurer of the society, and perform other duties as directed by the board of managers. On 
39.9 	or before December 31 each year, the secretary shall report to the governor for the fiscal 
39.10 	year ending October 31 all the proceedings of the society during the current year and its 
39.11 	financial condition as appears from its books. This report must contain a full, detailed 
39.12 	statement of all receipts and expenditures during the year.
39.13 	The books and accounts of the society for the fiscal year must be examined and 
39.14 	audited annually by an independent auditor, either a private auditor or the legislative 
39.15 	auditor.  If the audit is conducted by the legislative auditor, the cost of the examination 
39.16 	must be paid by the society to the state and credited to the general fund.
39.17 	A summary of this examination, certified by the legislative auditor, must be 
39.18 	appended to the secretary's report, along with the legislative auditor's recommendations 
39.19 	and the proceedings of the first annual meeting of the society held following the secretary's 
39.20 	report, including addresses made at the meeting as directed by the board of managers. The 
39.21 	summary, recommendations, and proceedings must be printed in the same manner as the 
39.22 	reports of state officers. Copies of the report must be printed annually and distributed as 
39.23 	follows: to each society or association entitled to membership in the society, to each 
39.24 	newspaper in the state, and the remaining copies as directed by the board of managers.

39.25 	Sec. 32. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 161.1419, subdivision 8, is amended to read:
39.26 		Subd. 8.Expiration. The commission expires on June 30, 2012 2016.

39.27 	Sec. 33. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 270C.41, is amended to read:
39.28 	270C.41 AGREEMENT WITH INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
39.29 	AGREEMENTS WITH FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
39.30 		Subdivision 1.Agreement with Internal Revenue Service. Pursuant to section 
39.31 	270B.12, the commissioner may enter into an agreement with the Internal Revenue 
39.32 	Service to identify taxpayers who have refunds due from the department and liabilities 
39.33 	owing to the Internal Revenue Service. In accordance with the procedures established in 
40.1 	the agreement, the Internal Revenue Service may levy against the refunds to be paid by 
40.2 	the department. For each refund levied upon, the commissioner shall first deduct from 
40.3 	the refund a fee of $20, and then remit the refund or the amount of the levy, whichever 
40.4 	is less, to the Internal Revenue Service. The proceeds of fees shall be deposited into the 
40.5 	Department of Revenue recapture revolving fund under section 270A.07, subdivision 1.
40.6 		Subd. 2.Reciprocal offset agreements. (a) The commissioner is authorized 
40.7 	to enter into agreements with the federal Department of the Treasury that provide for 
40.8 	offsetting state payments against federal nontax obligations. Except as provided in 
40.9 	paragraph (d), the commissioner may charge a fee of $20 per transaction for such offsets 
40.10 	and may collect this offset fee from the debtor by deducting it from the state payment. 
40.11 	The agreement may provide for offsetting federal payments, as authorized by federal law, 
40.12 	against state tax and nontax obligations, and collecting the offset cost from the debtor. 
40.13 	The agreement shall provide that the federal Department of the Treasury may deduct a 
40.14 	fee from each administrative offset and state payment offset. Setoffs to collect state and 
40.15 	other entity obligations under chapters 16D,  270A, 270C, and any other provision of 
40.16 	Minnesota Statutes, occur before a state payment offset. For purposes of this paragraph 
40.17 	"administrative offset" is any offset of federal payments to collect state debts and "state 
40.18 	payment offset" is any offset of state payments to collect federal nontax debts.
40.19 	(b) A debt is eligible for offset under this program if notice of intent to offset the 
40.20 	debt is sent at least 60 days prior to filing an offset claim or a shorter period of time, if 
40.21 	required by federal law or an agreement with the federal Department of the Treasury.

40.23 	sent this notice each time an additional debt is claimed.
40.24 	(c) The debtor shall have the time period required for notice under paragraph (b) to 
40.25 	contest the offset. An agreement under this section must not allow for offset of payments 
40.26 	if the debt that would be subject to the offset is being contested or if the time for appealing 
40.27 	the determination of the debt has not yet expired. The treasury offset program agreement 
40.28 	entered into by the state must not require federal agencies to provide different due process 
40.29 	than the requirements under Code of Federal Regulations, title 31, section 285.6.

41.12 	the offset of federal tax refunds that or the offset of federal payments and these fees are 
41.13 	deducted from the refund or the federal payment amounts remitted to the commissioner, 
41.14 	then the unpaid debts of the taxpayers whose refunds or federal payments are being 
41.15 	offset to satisfy the debts are reduced only by the actual amount of the refund payments 
41.16 	or federal payments received by the commissioner. Notwithstanding any other provision 
41.17 	of law to the contrary, a claim for the offset of a federal tax refund must be submitted to 
41.18 	the Department of the Treasury of the United States within ten years after the date of the 
41.19 	assessment of the tax owed by the taxpayer whose refund is to be offset to satisfy the 
41.20 	debt. For court debts referred to the commissioner under section 16D.04, subdivision 2, 
41.21 	paragraph (a), the federal refund offset fees are deducted as provided in this section, but 
41.22 	the ten-year time limit prescribed in this section for tax debts does not apply.
