61.1 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 80E.13, is amended to read:
61.2 	80E.13 UNFAIR PRACTICES BY MANUFACTURERS, DISTRIBUTORS, 
61.3 	FACTORY BRANCHES.
61.4 	It is unlawful and an unfair practice for a manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch 
61.5 	to engage in any of the following practices:
61.6 	(a) delay, refuse, or fail to deliver new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle parts or 
61.7 	accessories in reasonable time and in reasonable quantity relative to the new motor vehicle 
61.8 	dealer's facilities and sales potential in the dealer's relevant market area, after having accepted 
61.9 	an order from a new motor vehicle dealer having a franchise for the retail sale of any new 
61.10 	motor vehicle sold or distributed by the manufacturer or distributor, if the new motor vehicle 
61.11 	or new motor vehicle parts or accessories are publicly advertised as being available for 
61.12 	delivery or actually being delivered. This clause is not violated, however, if the failure is 
61.13 	caused by acts or causes beyond the control of the manufacturer;
61.14 	(b) refuse to disclose to any new motor vehicle dealer handling the same line make, the 
61.15 	manner and mode of distribution of that line make within the relevant market area;
61.16 	(c) obtain money, goods, service, or any other benefit from any other person with whom 
61.17 	the dealer does business, on account of, or in relation to, the transaction between the dealer 
61.18 	and the other person, other than for compensation for services rendered, unless the benefit 
61.19 	is promptly accounted for, and transmitted to, the new motor vehicle dealer;
61.20 	(d) increase prices of new motor vehicles which the new motor vehicle dealer had ordered 
61.21 	for private retail consumers prior to the dealer's receiving the written official price increase 
61.22 	notification. A sales contract signed by a private retail consumer shall constitute evidence 
61.23 	of each order if the vehicle is in fact delivered to that customer. In the event of manufacturer 
61.24 	price reductions, the amount of any reduction received by a dealer shall be passed on to the 
61.25 	private retail consumer by the dealer if the retail price was negotiated on the basis of the 
61.26 	previous higher price to the dealer;
61.27 	(e) offer any refunds or other types of inducements to any new motor vehicle dealer for 
61.28 	the purchase of new motor vehicles of a certain line make without making the same offer 
61.29 	to all other new motor vehicle dealers in the same line make within geographic areas 
61.30 	reasonably determined by the manufacturer;
61.31 	(f) release to any outside party, except under subpoena or in an administrative or judicial 
61.32 	proceeding involving the manufacturer or dealer, any business, financial, or personal 
61.33 	information which may be provided by the dealer to the manufacturer, without the express 
62.1 	written consent of the dealer or unless pertinent to judicial or governmental administrative 
62.2 	proceedings or to arbitration proceedings of any kind;
62.3 	(g) deny any new motor vehicle dealer the right of free association with any other new 
62.4 	motor vehicle dealer for any lawful purpose;
62.5 	(h) unfairly discriminate among its new motor vehicle dealers with respect to warranty 
62.6 	reimbursement or authority granted its new vehicle dealers to make warranty adjustments 
62.7 	with retail customers;
62.8 	(i) compete with a new motor vehicle dealer in the same line make operating under an 
62.9 	agreement or franchise from the same manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch. A 
62.10 	manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch is considered to be competing when it has an 
62.11 	ownership interest, other than a passive interest held for investment purposes, in a dealership 
62.12 	of its line make located within the state. A manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch shall 
62.13 	not, however, be deemed to be competing when operating a dealership, either temporarily 
62.14 	or for a reasonable period, which is for sale to any qualified independent person at a fair 
62.15 	and reasonable price, or when involved in a bona fide relationship in which an independent 
62.16 	person has made a significant investment subject to loss in the dealership and can reasonably 
62.17 	expect to acquire full ownership and full management and operational control of the 
62.18 	dealership within a reasonable time on reasonable terms and conditions;
62.19 	(j) prevent a new motor vehicle dealer from transferring or assigning a new motor vehicle 
62.20 	dealership to a qualified transferee. There shall be no transfer, assignment of the franchise, 
62.21 	or major change in the executive management of the dealership, except as is otherwise 
62.22 	provided in sections 80E.01 to 80E.17, without consent of the manufacturer, which shall 
62.23 	not be withheld without good cause. In determining whether good cause exists for 
62.24 	withholding consent to a transfer or assignment, the manufacturer, distributor, factory 
62.25 	branch, or importer has the burden of proving that the transferee is a person who is not of 
62.26 	good moral character or does not meet the franchisor's existing and reasonable capital 
62.27 	standards and, considering the volume of sales and service of the new motor vehicle dealer, 
62.28 	reasonable business experience standards in the market area. Denial of the request must be 
62.29 	in writing and delivered to the new motor vehicle dealer within 60 days after the manufacturer 
62.30 	receives the completed application customarily used by the manufacturer, distributor, factory 
62.31 	branch, or importer for dealer appointments. If a denial is not sent within this period, the 
62.32 	manufacturer shall be deemed to have given its consent to the proposed transfer or change. 
62.33 	In the event of a proposed sale or transfer of a franchise, the manufacturer, distributor, 
62.34 	factory branch, or importer shall be permitted to exercise a right of first refusal to acquire 
62.35 	the franchisee's assets or ownership if:
63.1 	(1) the franchise agreement permits the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or 
63.2 	importer to exercise a right of first refusal to acquire the franchisee's assets or ownership 
63.3 	in the event of a proposed sale or transfer;
63.4 	(2) the proposed transfer of the dealership or its assets is of more than 50 percent of the 
63.5 	ownership or assets;
63.6 	(3) the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer notifies the dealer in writing 
63.7 	within 60 days of its receipt of the complete written proposal for the proposed sale or transfer 
63.8 	on forms generally utilized by the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer for 
63.9 	such purposes and containing the information required therein and all documents and 
63.10 	agreements relating to the proposed sale or transfer;
63.11 	(4) the exercise of the right of first refusal will result in the dealer and dealer's owners 
63.12 	receiving the same or greater consideration with equivalent terms of sale as is provided in 
63.13 	the documents and agreements submitted to the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, 
63.14 	or importer under clause (3);
63.15 	(5) the proposed change of 50 percent or more of the ownership or of the dealership 
63.16 	assets does not involve the transfer or sale of assets or the transfer or issuance of stock by 
63.17 	the dealer or one or more dealer owners to a family member, including a spouse, child, 
63.18 	stepchild, grandchild, spouse of a child or grandchild, brother, sister, or parent of the dealer 
63.19 	owner; to a manager who has been employed in the dealership for at least four years and is 
63.20 	otherwise qualified as a dealer operator; or to a partnership or corporation owned and 
63.21 	controlled by one or more of such persons; and
63.22 	(6) the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer agrees to pay the reasonable 
63.23 	expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, which do not exceed the usual customary and 
63.24 	reasonable fees charged for similar work done for other clients incurred by the proposed 
63.25 	new owner and transferee before the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer 
63.26 	exercises its right of first refusal, in negotiating and implementing the contract for the 
63.27 	proposed change of ownership or transfer of dealership assets. However, payment of such 
63.28 	expenses and attorney fees shall not be required if the dealer has not submitted or caused 
63.29 	to be submitted an accounting of those expenses within 20 days after the dealer's receipt of 
63.30 	the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer's written request for such an 
63.31 	accounting. The manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer may request such an 
63.32 	accounting before exercising its right of first refusal. The obligation created under this clause 
63.33 	is enforceable by the transferee;
64.1 	(k) threaten to modify or replace or modify or replace a franchise with a succeeding 
64.2 	franchise that would adversely alter the rights or obligations of a new motor vehicle dealer 
64.3 	under an existing franchise or that substantially impairs the sales or service obligations or 
64.4 	investments of the motor vehicle dealer;
64.5 	(l) unreasonably deny the right to acquire factory program vehicles to any dealer holding 
64.6 	a valid franchise from the manufacturer to sell the same line make of vehicles, provided 
64.7 	that the manufacturer may impose reasonable restrictions and limitations on the purchase 
64.8 	or resale of program vehicles to be applied equitably to all of its franchised dealers. For the 
64.9 	purposes of this paragraph, "factory program vehicle" has the meaning given the term in 
64.10 	section 80E.06, subdivision 2;
64.11 	(m) fail or refuse to offer to its same line make franchised dealers all models manufactured 
64.12 	for that line make, other than alternative fuel vehicles as defined in section 216C.01, 
64.13 	subdivision 1b. Failure to offer a model is not a violation of this section if the failure is not 
64.14 	arbitrary and is due to a lack of manufacturing capacity, a strike, labor difficulty, or other 
64.15 	cause over which the manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch has no control;
64.16 	(n) require a dealer to pay an extra fee, or remodel, renovate, or recondition the dealer's 
64.17 	existing facilities, or purchase unreasonable advertising displays, training, tools, or other 
64.18 	materials, or to require the dealer to establish exclusive facilities or dedicated personnel as 
64.19 	a prerequisite to receiving a model or a series of vehicles;
64.20 	(o) require a dealer by program, incentive provision, or otherwise to adhere to 
64.21 	performance standards that are not applied uniformly to other similarly situated dealers.
64.22 	A performance standard, sales objective, or program for measuring dealership performance 
64.23 	that may have a material effect on a dealer, including the dealer's right to payment under 
64.24 	any incentive or reimbursement program, and the application of the standard or program 
64.25 	by a manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch must be fair, reasonable, equitable, and 
64.26 	based on accurate information. Upon written request by any of its franchised dealers located 
64.27 	within Minnesota, a manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch must provide the method 
64.28 	or formula used by the manufacturer in establishing the sales volumes for receiving a rebate 
64.29 	or incentive and the specific calculations for determining the required sales volumes of the 
64.30 	inquiring dealer and any of the manufacturer's other Minnesota-franchised new motor vehicle 
64.31 	dealers of the same line-make located within 75 miles of the inquiring dealer. Nothing 
64.32 	contained in this section requires a manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch to disclose 
64.33 	confidential business information of any of its franchised dealers or the required numerical 
64.34 	sales volumes that any of its franchised dealers must attain to receive a rebate or incentive. 
65.1 	An inquiring dealer may file a civil action as provided in section 80E.17 without a showing 
65.2 	of injury if a manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch fails to make the disclosure required 
65.3 	by this section.
65.4 	A manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch has the burden of proving that the performance 
65.5 	standard, sales objective, or program for measuring dealership performance is fair, reasonable, 
65.6 	and uniformly applied under this section;
65.7 	(p) assign or change a dealer's area of sales effectiveness arbitrarily or without due regard 
65.8 	to the present pattern of motor vehicle sales and registrations within the dealer's market. 
65.9 	The manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch must provide at least 90 days' notice of the 
65.10 	proposed change. The change may not take effect if the dealer commences a civil action 
65.11 	within the 90 days' notice period to determine whether the manufacturer, distributor, or 
65.12 	factory branch met its obligations under this section. The burden of proof in such an action 
65.13 	shall be on the manufacturer or distributor. In determining at the evidentiary hearing whether 
65.14 	a manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch has assigned or changed the dealer's area of 
65.15 	sales effectiveness or is proposing to assign or change the dealer's area of sales effectiveness 
65.16 	arbitrarily or without due regard to the present pattern of motor vehicle sales and registrations 
65.17 	within the dealer's market, the court may take into consideration the relevant circumstances, 
65.18 	including, but not limited to:
65.19 	(1) the traffic patterns between consumers and the same line-make franchised dealers 
65.20 	of the affected manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch who are located within the 
65.21 	market;
65.22 	(2) the pattern of new vehicle sales and registrations of the affected manufacturer, 
65.23 	distributor, or factory branch within various portions of the area of sales effectiveness and 
65.24 	within the market as a whole;
65.25 	(3) the growth or decline in population, density of population, and new car registrations 
65.26 	in the market;
65.27 	(4) the presence or absence of natural geographical obstacles or boundaries, such as 
65.28 	rivers;
65.29 	(5) the proximity of census tracts or other geographic units used by the affected 
65.30 	manufacturer, factory branch, distributor, or distributor branch in determining the same 
65.31 	line-make dealers' respective areas of sales effectiveness; and
66.1 	(6) the reasonableness of the change or proposed change to the dealer's area of sales 
66.2 	effectiveness, considering the benefits and harm to the petitioning dealer, other same 
66.3 	line-make dealers, and the manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch;
66.4 	(q) to charge back, withhold payment, deny vehicle allocation, or take any other adverse 
66.5 	action against a dealer when a new vehicle sold by the dealer has been exported to a foreign 
66.6 	country, unless the manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch can show that at the time 
66.7 	of sale, the customer's information was listed on a known or suspected exporter list made 
66.8 	available to the dealer, or the dealer knew or reasonably should have known of the purchaser's 
66.9 	intention to export or resell the motor vehicle in violation of the manufacturer's export 
66.10 	policy. There is a rebuttable presumption that the dealer did not know or should not have 
66.11 	reasonably known that the vehicle would be exported or resold in violation of the 
66.12 	manufacturer's export policy if the vehicle is titled and registered in any state of the United 
66.13 	States; or
66.14 	(r) to implement a charge back or withhold payment to a dealer that is solely due to an 
66.15 	unreasonable delay by the registrar, as defined in section 168.002, subdivision 29, in the 
66.16 	transfer or registration of a new motor vehicle. The dealer must give the manufacturer notice 
66.17 	of the state's delay in writing. Within 30 days of any notice of a charge back, withholding 
66.18 	of payments, or denial of a claim, the dealer must transmit to the manufacturer: (1) 
66.19 	documentation to demonstrate the vehicle sale and delivery as reported; and (2) a written 
66.20 	attestation signed by the dealer operator or general manager stating that the delay is 
66.21 	attributable to the state. This clause expires on June 30, 2022; or
66.22 	(r) (s) to require a dealer or prospective dealer by program, incentive provision, or 
66.23 	otherwise to construct improvements to its or a predecessor's facilities or to install new signs 
66.24 	or other franchisor image elements that replace or substantially alter improvements, signs, 
66.25 	or franchisor image elements completed within the preceding ten years that were required 
66.26 	and approved by the manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch, including any such 
66.27 	improvements, signs, or franchisor image elements that were required as a condition of the 
66.28 	dealer or predecessor dealer receiving an incentive or other compensation from the 
66.29 	manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch.
66.30 	This paragraph shall not apply to a program or agreement that provides lump sum payments 
66.31 	to assist dealers in making facility improvements or to pay for signs or franchisor image 
66.32 	elements when such payments are not dependent on the dealer selling or purchasing specific 
66.33 	numbers of new vehicles and shall not apply to a program that is in effect with more than 
66.34 	one Minnesota dealer on August 1, 2018, nor to any renewal of such program, nor to a 
67.1 	modification that is not a substantial modification of a material term or condition of such 
67.2 	program.

67.3 	Sec. 6. [161.089] REPORT ON DEDICATED FUND EXPENDITURES.
67.4 	By January 15 of each odd-numbered year, the commissioners of transportation and

69.20 	Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 161.14, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
69.21 	read:

69.23 	Trunk Highway 210 within Cass County is designated as "State Trooper Ray Krueger 
69.24 	Memorial Highway." Subject to section 161.139, the commissioner must adopt a suitable 
69.25 	design to mark this highway and erect appropriate signs in the vicinity of the location where 
69.26 	Trooper Krueger died.

69.27 	Sec. 17. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 161.14, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
69.28 	read:
69.29 		Subd. 96.Warrant Officer Dennis A. Groth Memorial Bridge. The bridge on marked

69.31 	the city of Rosemount, is designated as "Warrant Officer Dennis A. Groth Memorial Bridge." 
70.1 	Subject to section 161.139, the commissioner must adopt a suitable design to mark the 
70.2 	bridge and erect appropriate signs.

70.3 	Sec. 18. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 161.32, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
70.4 		Subd. 2.Direct negotiation. In cases where the estimated cost of construction work or 
70.5 	maintenance work does not exceed $150,000 $250,000, the commissioner may enter into 
70.6 	a contract for the work by direct negotiation, by obtaining two or more quotations for the 
70.7 	work, and without advertising for bids or otherwise complying with the requirements of 
70.8 	competitive bidding if the total contractual obligation of the state for the directly negotiated 
70.9 	contract or contracts on any single project does not exceed $150,000 $250,000. All quotations 
70.10 	obtained shall be kept on file for a period of at least one year after receipt of the quotation.

70.11 	Sec. 19. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 168.013, subdivision 1a, is amended to read:
70.12 		Subd. 1a.Passenger automobile; hearse. (a) On passenger automobiles as defined in 
70.13 	section 168.002, subdivision 24, and hearses, except as otherwise provided, the tax is $10 
70.14 	plus an additional tax equal to 1.25 percent of the base value.
70.15 	(b) Subject to the classification provisions herein, "base value" means the manufacturer's 
70.16 	suggested retail price of the vehicle including destination charge using list price information 
70.17 	published by the manufacturer or determined by the registrar if no suggested retail price 
70.18 	exists, and shall not include the cost of each accessory or item of optional equipment 
70.19 	separately added to the vehicle and the suggested retail price. In the case of the first 
70.20 	registration of a new vehicle sold or leased by a licensed dealer, the dealer may elect to 
70.21 	individually determine the base value of the vehicle using suggested retail price information 
70.22 	provided by the manufacturer. The registrar must use the base value determined by the 
70.23 	dealer to properly classify the vehicle. A dealer that elects to make the determination must 
70.24 	retain a copy of the suggested retail price label or other supporting documentation with the 
70.25 	vehicle transaction records maintained under Minnesota Rules, part 7400.5200.
70.26 	(c) If the manufacturer's list price information contains a single vehicle identification 
70.27 	number followed by various descriptions and suggested retail prices, the registrar shall 
70.28 	select from those listings only the lowest price for determining base value.
70.29 	(d) If unable to determine the base value because the vehicle is specially constructed, 
70.30 	or for any other reason, the registrar may establish such value upon the cost price to the 
70.31 	purchaser or owner as evidenced by a certificate of cost but not including Minnesota sales 
70.32 	or use tax or any local sales or other local tax.
71.1 	(e) The registrar shall classify every vehicle in its proper base value class as follows:

71.2	FROM
		TO
	
71.3	$
	0
		$ 199.99
	
71.4	$
	200
		$ 399.99
	
71.5 	and thereafter a series of classes successively set in brackets having a spread of $200 
71.6 	consisting of such number of classes as will permit classification of all vehicles.
71.7 	(f) The base value for purposes of this section shall be the middle point between the 
71.8 	extremes of its class.
71.9 	(g) The registrar shall establish the base value, when new, of every passenger automobile 
71.10 	and hearse registered prior to the effective date of Extra Session Laws 1971, chapter 31, 
71.11 	using list price information published by the manufacturer or any nationally recognized 
71.12 	firm or association compiling such data for the automotive industry. If unable to ascertain 
71.13 	the base value of any registered vehicle in the foregoing manner, the registrar may use any 
71.14 	other available source or method. The registrar shall calculate tax using base value 
71.15 	information available to dealers and deputy registrars at the time the application for 
71.16 	registration is submitted. The tax on all previously registered vehicles shall be computed 
71.17 	upon the base value thus determined taking into account the depreciation provisions of 
71.18 	paragraph (h).
71.19 	(h) The annual additional tax must be computed upon a percentage of the base value as 
71.20 	follows: during the first year of vehicle life, upon 100 percent of the base value; for the 
71.21 	second year, 90 percent of such value; for the third year, 80 percent of such value; for the 
71.22 	fourth year, 70 percent of such value; for the fifth year, 60 percent of such value; for the 
71.23 	sixth year, 50 percent of such value; for the seventh year, 40 percent of such value; for the 
71.24 	eighth year, 30 percent of such value; for the ninth year, 20 percent of such value; for the 
71.25 	tenth year, ten percent of such value; for the 11th and each succeeding year, the sum of $25.
71.26 	(i) In no event shall the annual additional tax be less than $25.
71.27 	(j) For any vehicle previously registered in Minnesota and regardless of prior ownership, 
71.28 	the total amount due under this subdivision and subdivision 1m must not exceed the smallest 
71.29 	total amount previously paid or due on the vehicle.

71.30 	EFFECTIVE DATE. The change in this section is effective July 1, 2019, and expires 
71.31 	June 30, 2022.

72.1 	Sec. 20. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 168.013, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
72.2 		Subd. 3.Application; cancellation; excessive gross weight forbidden. (a) The applicant 
72.3 	for all licenses based on gross weight shall state the unloaded weight of the motor vehicle, 
72.4 	trailer, or semitrailer and the maximum load the applicant proposes to carry on it, the sum 
72.5 	of which constitutes the gross weight upon which the license tax must be paid. However, 
72.6 	the declared gross weight upon which the tax is paid must not be less than 1-1/4 times the 
72.7 	declared unloaded weight of the motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer to be registered, except 
72.8 	recreational vehicles taxed under subdivision 1g, school buses taxed under subdivision 18, 
72.9 	and tow trucks or towing vehicles defined in section 168B.011, subdivision 12a. The gross 
72.10 	weight of a tow truck or towing vehicle is the actual weight of the tow truck or towing 
72.11 	vehicle fully equipped, but does not include the weight of a wrecked or disabled vehicle 
72.12 	towed or drawn by the tow truck or towing vehicle.
72.13 	(b) Except as provided by special permit issued under section 169.86, the gross weight 
72.14 	of a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer must not exceed the gross weight upon which the 
72.15 	license tax has been paid by more than four percent or 1,000 pounds, whichever is greater; 
72.16 	provided that, a vehicle transporting unfinished forest products on a highway, other than a 
72.17 	highway that is part of the system of interstate and defense highways, unless a federal 
72.18 	exemption is granted, in accordance with paragraph (d)(3):
72.19 	(1) shall not exceed its gross vehicle weight upon which the license tax has been paid, 
72.20 	or gross axle weight on any axle, by more than five percent and, notwithstanding other law 
72.21 	to the contrary, is not subject to any fee, fine, or other assessment or penalty for exceeding 
72.22 	a gross vehicle or axle weight by up to five percent. This clause applies year round to 
72.23 	suppliers of unfinished forest products to mills; and
72.24 	(2) between the dates set by the commissioner in accordance with section 169.826, 
72.25 	subdivision 1, is not subject to any provision of paragraph (d) or chapter 169 limiting the 
72.26 	gross axle weight of any individual axle unless the entire vehicle also exceeds its gross 
72.27 	vehicle weight plus its weight allowance allowed in clause (1) and plus any weight allowance 
72.28 	permitted under section 169.826 or 169.8261, in which case the vehicle is subject to all 
72.29 	applicable penalties for excess weight violations.
72.30 	(c) The gross weight of the motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer for which the license 
72.31 	tax is paid must be indicated by a distinctive character on the license plate or plates except 
72.32 	as provided in subdivision 12 or section 169.86, subdivision 5a, as applicable, and the plate 
72.33 	or plates must be kept clean and clearly visible at all times.
73.1 	(d) The owner, driver, or user of a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer, upon conviction 
73.2 	for transporting a gross weight in excess of the gross weight for which it was registered or 
73.3 	for operating a vehicle with an axle weight exceeding the maximum lawful axle load weight, 
73.4 	is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to increased registration or reregistration according 
73.5 	to the following schedule:
73.6 	(1) Upon conviction for transporting a gross weight in excess of the gross weight for 
73.7 	which a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer is registered by more than the allowance set 
73.8 	forth in paragraph (b) but less than 25 percent, or for operating or using a motor vehicle, 
73.9 	trailer, or semitrailer with an axle weight exceeding the maximum lawful axle load as 
73.10 	provided in sections 169.822 to 169.829 by more than the allowance set forth in paragraph 
73.11 	(b) but less than 25 percent, the owner, driver, or user of the motor vehicle, trailer, or 
73.12 	semitrailer used to commit the violation, in addition to any penalty imposed for the 
73.13 	misdemeanor, shall apply to the registrar to increase the authorized gross weight to be carried 
73.14 	on the vehicle to a weight equal to or greater than the gross weight the owner, driver, or 
73.15 	user was convicted of carrying. The increase is computed for the balance of the calendar 
73.16 	year on the basis of 1/12 of the annual tax for each month remaining in the calendar year 
73.17 	beginning with the first day of the month in which the violation occurred. If the additional 
73.18 	registration tax computed upon that weight, plus the tax already paid, amounts to more than 
73.19 	the regular tax for the maximum gross weight permitted for the vehicle under sections 
73.20 	169.822 to 169.829, that additional amount must nevertheless be paid into the highway 
73.21 	fund, but the additional tax thus paid does not authorize or permit any person to operate the 
73.22 	vehicle with a gross weight in excess of the maximum legal weight as provided by sections 
73.23 	169.822 to 169.829. Unless the owner within 30 days after a conviction applies to increase 
73.24 	the authorized weight and pays the additional tax as provided in this section, the registrar 
73.25 	shall revoke the registration on the vehicle and demand the return of the registration card 
73.26 	and plates issued on that registration.
73.27 	(2) Upon conviction of an owner, driver, or user of a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer 
73.28 	for transporting a gross weight in excess of the gross weight for which the motor vehicle, 
73.29 	trailer, or semitrailer was registered by 25 percent or more or for operating or using the 
73.30 	vehicle or trailer with an axle weight exceeding the maximum lawful axle load as provided 
73.31 	in sections 169.822 to 169.829 by 25 percent or more, and in addition to any penalty imposed 
73.32 	for the misdemeanor, the registrar shall either (i) cancel the reciprocity privileges on the 
73.33 	vehicle involved if the vehicle is being operated under reciprocity or (ii) if the vehicle is 
73.34 	not being operated under reciprocity, cancel the certificate of registration on the vehicle 
73.35 	operated and demand the return of the registration certificate and registration plates. The 
74.1 	registrar may not cancel the registration or reciprocity privileges for any vehicle found in 
74.2 	violation of seasonal load restrictions imposed under section 169.87 unless the axle weight 
74.3 	exceeds the year-round weight limit for the highway on which the violation occurred. The 
74.4 	registrar may investigate any allegation of gross weight violations and demand that the 
74.5 	operator show cause why all future operating privileges in the state should not be revoked 
74.6 	unless the additional tax assessed is paid.
74.7 	(3) Clause (1) does not apply to the first haul of unprocessed or raw farm products or 
74.8 	unfinished forest products, when the registered gross weight is not exceeded by more than 
74.9 	ten percent. For purposes of this clause, "first haul" means (i) the first, continuous 
74.10 	transportation of unprocessed or raw farm products from the place of production or on-farm 
74.11 	storage site to any other location within 100 miles of the place of production or on-farm 
74.12 	storage site, or (ii) the continuous or noncontinuous transportation of unfinished forest 
74.13 	products from the place of production to the place of final processing or manufacture located 
74.14 	within 200 miles of the place of production.
74.15 	(4) When the registration on a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer is revoked by the 
74.16 	registrar according to this section, the vehicle must not be operated on the highways of the 
74.17 	state until it is registered or reregistered, as the case may be, and new plates issued, and the 
74.18 	registration fee is the annual tax for the total gross weight of the vehicle at the time of 
74.19 	violation. The reregistration pursuant to this subdivision of any vehicle operating under 
74.20 	reciprocity agreements pursuant to section 168.181 or 168.187 must be at the full annual 
74.21 	registration fee without regard to the percentage of vehicle miles traveled in this state.

74.22 	Sec. 21. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 168.10, subdivision 1h, is amended to read:
74.23 		Subd. 1h.Collector military vehicle. (a) A motor vehicle, including a truck, shall be 
74.24 	listed and registered under this section if it meets the following conditions:
74.25 	(1) it is at least 20 years old;
74.26 	(2) its first owner following its manufacture was a branch of the armed forces of the 
74.27 	United States and it presently conforms to the vehicle specifications required during the 
74.28 	time of military ownership, or it has been restored and presently conforms to the 
74.29 	specifications required by a branch of the armed forces for the model year that the restored 
74.30 	vehicle could have been owned by that branch of the armed forces; and
74.31 	(3) it is owned by a nonprofit organization and operated solely as a collector's vehicle. 
74.32 	For purposes of this subdivision, "nonprofit organization" means a corporation, society, 
74.33 	association, foundation, or institution organized and operated exclusively for historical or 
75.1 	educational purposes, no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of a private 
75.2 	individual.
75.3 	(b) The owner of the vehicle shall execute an affidavit stating the name and address of 
75.4 	the person from whom purchased and of the new owner; the make, year, and model number 
75.5 	of the motor vehicle; the manufacturer's identification number; and the collector military 
75.6 	vehicle identification number, if any, located on the exterior of the vehicle. The affidavit 
75.7 	must affirm that the vehicle is owned by a nonprofit organization and is operated solely as 
75.8 	a collector's item and not for general transportation purposes. If the commissioner is satisfied 
75.9 	that the affidavit is true and correct and the owner pays a $25 tax and the plate fee authorized 
75.10 	under section 168.12, the commissioner shall list the vehicle for taxation and registration 
75.11 	and shall issue number plates. The number plates shall bear the inscriptions "Collector" and 
75.12 	"Minnesota" and the registration number, but no date. The number plates are valid without 
75.13 	renewal as long as the vehicle is in existence in Minnesota. The commissioner may revoke 
75.14 	the plates for failure to comply with this subdivision.
75.15 	(c) Notwithstanding section 168.09, 168.12, or other law to the contrary, the owner of 
75.16 	a registered collector military vehicle is not required to display registration plates on the 
75.17 	exterior of the vehicle if the vehicle has an exterior number identification that conforms to 
75.18 	the identifying system for military vehicles in effect when the vehicle was last owned by 
75.19 	the branch of the armed forces of the United States or in effect in the year to which the 
75.20 	collector military vehicle has been restored. However, the state registration plates must be 
75.21 	carried in or on the collector military vehicle at all times.
75.22 	(d) The owner of a registered collector military vehicle that is not required to display 
75.23 	registration plates under paragraph (c) may tow a registered trailer behind it. The trailer is 
75.24 	not required to display registration plates if the trailer:
75.25 	(1) does not exceed a gross weight of 15,000 pounds;
75.26 	(2) otherwise conforms to registration, licensing, and safety laws and specifications;
75.27 	(3) conforms to military specifications for appearance and identification;
75.28 	(4) is intended to represent and does represent a military trailer; and
75.29 	(5) carries registration plates on or in the trailer or the collector military vehicle towing 
75.30 	the trailer.
75.31 	(e) This subdivision does not apply to a decommissioned military vehicle that (1) was 
75.32 	also manufactured and sold as a comparable civilian vehicle, and (2) has the same size 
75.33 	dimensions and vehicle weight as the comparable civilian vehicle. A decommissioned 
76.1 	military vehicle under this paragraph is eligible for a motor vehicle title under chapter 168A 
76.2 	and is subject to the same registration, insurance, equipment, and operating requirements 
76.3 	as a motor vehicle.

76.4 	Sec. 22. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 168.1294, subdivision 6, is amended to read:
76.5 		Subd. 6.Contributions; memorial account; appropriation. Contributions collected 
76.6 	under subdivision 1, clause (4), must be deposited in the Minnesota law enforcement 
76.7 	memorial account, which is established in the special revenue fund. Money in the account 
76.8 	is appropriated to the commissioner of public safety. This appropriation is first for the annual 
76.9 	cost of administering the account funds, and the remaining funds are for distribution to the 
76.10 	Minnesota Law Enforcement Memorial Association, to be used. By August 15 of each year, 
76.11 	the commissioner must distribute all funds remaining to the association. The association 
76.12 	must use the funds to further the mission of the association in assisting the families and 
76.13 	home agencies of Minnesota law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty.
76.14 	By January 15 of each year, the association must submit a report to the commissioner of 
76.15 	public safety and to the chairs and ranking minority members of the legislative committees 
76.16 	with jurisdiction over transportation policy and finance. The report must include an itemized 
76.17 	list of each expenditure the association made with the funds received under this section for 
76.18 	the previous calendar year.

76.22 	vehicle dealer license, new and used vehicles owned by the entity may be held and offered 
76.23 	for sale at any of the licensed dealership locations without assigning vehicle ownership or 
76.24 	title from one licensee to another. This subdivision does not authorize the sale or offering 
76.25 	for sale of new vehicles by a licensee that is not authorized by the manufacturer to sell that 
76.26 	make of new vehicles.

76.27 	Sec. 24. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 168.27, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
76.28 	read:
76.29 		Subd. 33.Designated dealer title and registration liaison. The registrar must designate

76.32 	dealer issues related to vehicle titling and registration.

77.1 	Sec. 25. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 168.33, subdivision 8a, is amended to read:
77.2 		Subd. 8a.Electronic transmission. (a) If the commissioner accepts electronic 
77.3 	transmission of a motor vehicle transfer and registration by a new or used motor vehicle 
77.4 	dealer, a deputy registrar who is equipped with electronic transmission technology and 
77.5 	trained in its use shall receive the filing fee provided for in subdivision 7 and review the 
77.6 	transfer of each new or used motor vehicle to determine its genuineness and regularity 
77.7 	before issuance of a certificate of title, and shall receive and retain the filing fee under 
77.8 	subdivision 7, paragraph (a), clause (ii) (2).
77.9 	(b) The commissioner must establish reasonable performance, security, technical, and 
77.10 	financial standards to approve companies that provide computer software and services to 
77.11 	motor vehicle dealers to electronically transmit vehicle title transfer and registration 
77.12 	information. An approved company must be offered access to department facilities, staff, 
77.13 	and technology on a fair and reasonable basis.

77.14 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective upon full implementation of the 
77.15 	replacement vehicle services information system.

77.16 	Sec. 26. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 168.346, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
77.17 		Subdivision 1.Vehicle registration data; federal compliance. (a) Data on an individual 
77.18 	provided to register a vehicle shall be treated as provided by United States Code, title 18, 
77.19 	section 2721, as in effect on May 23, 2005, and shall be disclosed as required or permitted 
77.20 	by that section. Licensed dealers may obtain data for uses as permitted by United States 
77.21 	Code, title 18, section 2721, subsections (b)(2), for use in connection with matters of motor

77.24 	bulk form to an authorized recipient upon request for any of the permissible uses described 
77.25 	in United States Code, title 18, section 2721.
77.26 	(b) The registered owner of a vehicle who is an individual may consent in writing to the 
77.27 	commissioner to disclose the individual's personal information exempted by United States 
77.28 	Code, title 18, section 2721, to any person who makes a written request for the personal 
77.29 	information. If the registered owner is an individual and so authorizes disclosure, the 
77.30 	commissioner shall implement the request.
77.31 	(c) If authorized by the registered owner as indicated in paragraph (b), the registered 
77.32 	owner's personal information may be used, rented, or sold solely for bulk distribution by

78.5 	department for a certificate of title of the vehicle, pursuant to rules adopted by the department 
78.6 	under section 168A.24, subdivision 2, clause 3 (3).
78.7 	(b) A decommissioned military vehicle that (1) was also manufactured and sold as a 
78.8 	comparable civilian vehicle, and (2) has the same size dimensions and vehicle weight as 
78.9 	the comparable civilian vehicle, is eligible for a certificate of title under this chapter.

114.21 	hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, or marking and lighting of

116.15 	area in question as that vested by subdivision 1 in the municipality within which the area 
116.16 	is located. A joint board shall have as members two representatives appointed by the 
116.17 	municipality owning or controlling the airport and two from the county or municipality, or 
116.18 	in case more than one county or municipality is involved two from each county or 
116.19 	municipality, in which the airport hazard is located, and in addition a chair elected by a 
116.20 	majority of the members so appointed. All members shall serve at the pleasure of their 
116.21 	respective appointing authority. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, 
116.22 	if the owning and controlling municipality is a city of the first class it shall appoint four 
116.23 	members to the board, and the chair of the board shall be elected from the membership of 
116.24 	the board.
116.25 	(c) If a county or municipality, within 60 days of receiving a request from an owning 
116.26 	or controlling municipality pursuant to paragraph (a), fails to adopt, or thereafter fails to 
116.27 	enforce, the zoning regulations or fails to join in creating a joint airport zoning board, the 
116.28 	owning or controlling municipality, or a joint airport zoning board created without 
116.29 	participation by the subdivisions which fail to join the board, may itself adopt, administer, 
116.30 	and enforce airport zoning regulations for the airport hazard area in question. In the event 
116.31 	of conflict between the regulations and airport zoning regulations adopted by the county or 
116.32 	municipality within which the airport hazard area is located, section 360.064, subdivision 
116.33 	2, applies.
116.34 	(d) "Owning or controlling municipality," as used in this subdivision, includes:
117.1 	(1) a joint airport operating board created pursuant to section 360.042 that has been 
117.2 	granted all the powers of a municipality in zoning matters under the agreement creating the 
117.3 	board;
117.4 	(2) a joint airport operating board created pursuant to section 360.042 that has not been 
117.5 	granted zoning powers under the agreement creating the board; provided that the board shall 
117.6 	not itself adopt zoning regulations nor shall a joint airport zoning board created at its request 
117.7 	adopt zoning regulations unless all municipalities that created the joint operating board join 
117.8 	to create the joint zoning board; and
117.9 	(3) the Metropolitan Airports Commission established and operated pursuant to chapter 
117.10 	473.
117.11 	(e) The Metropolitan Airports Commission shall request creation of one joint airport 
117.12 	zoning board for each airport operated under its authority.

117.13 	EFFECTIVE DATE; APPLICATION. This section is effective August 1, 2019, and 
117.14 	applies to airport sponsors that make or plan to make changes to runway lengths or 
117.15 	configurations on or after that date. This section does not apply to airports that: (1) have 
117.16 	airport safety zoning ordinances approved by the commissioner in effect on August 1, 2019; 
117.17 	(2) have not made and are not planning to make changes to runway lengths or configurations; 
117.18 	and (3) are not required to update airport safety zoning ordinances.

117.19 	Sec. 96. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 360.064, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
117.20 		Subdivision 1.Comprehensive regulations. In the event that a municipality has adopted, 
117.21 	or hereafter adopts, a comprehensive zoning ordinance regulating, among other things the 
117.22 	height of buildings, any airport zoning regulations applicable to the same area or portion 
117.23 	thereof may must be incorporated by reference or incorporated in and made a part of such 
117.24 	comprehensive zoning regulations and be administered and enforced in connection therewith.

117.25 	EFFECTIVE DATE; APPLICATION. This section is effective August 1, 2019, and 
117.26 	applies to airport sponsors that make or plan to make changes to runway lengths or 
117.27 	configurations on or after that date. This section does not apply to airports that: (1) have 
117.28 	airport safety zoning ordinances approved by the commissioner in effect on August 1, 2019; 
117.29 	(2) have not made and are not planning to make changes to runway lengths or configurations; 
117.30 	and (3) are not required to update airport safety zoning ordinances.

118.1 	Sec. 97. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 360.065, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
118.2 		Subdivision 1.Notice of proposed zoning regulations, hearing. (a) No airport zoning 
118.3 	regulations shall be adopted, amended, or changed under sections 360.011 to 360.076, 
118.4 	except by action of the governing body of the municipality or, county in question, or joint 
118.5 	airport zoning board under section 360.0655 or 360.0656, or the boards provided for in 
118.6 	section 360.063, subdivisions 3 and 7, or by the commissioner as provided in subdivisions 
118.7 	6 and 8, after public hearings, at which parties in interest and citizens shall have an 
118.8 	opportunity to be heard.
118.9 	(b) A public hearing shall must be held on the proposed airport zoning regulations 
118.10 	proposed by a municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board before they are submitted 
118.11 	for approval to the commissioner and after that approval but before final adoption by the 
118.12 	local zoning authority for approval. If any changes that alter the regulations placed on a 
118.13 	parcel of land are made to the proposed airport zoning regulations after the initial public 
118.14 	hearing, the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board must hold a second public 
118.15 	hearing before final adoption of the regulation. The commissioner may require a second 
118.16 	hearing as determined necessary.
118.17 	(c) Notice of a hearing required pursuant to this subdivision shall must be published by 
118.18 	the local zoning authority municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board at least three 
118.19 	times during the period between 15 days and five days before the hearing in an official 
118.20 	newspaper and in a second newspaper designated by that authority which has a wide general 
118.21 	circulation in the area affected by the proposed regulations and posted on the municipality's, 
118.22 	county's, or joint airport zoning board's website. If there is not a second newspaper of wide 
118.23 	general circulation in the area that the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board 
118.24 	can designate for the notice, the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board is only 
118.25 	required to publish the notice once in the official newspaper of the jurisdiction. The notice 
118.26 	shall not be published in the legal notice section of a newspaper. The notice must specify 
118.27 	the time, location, and purpose of the hearing, and must identify any additional location and 
118.28 	time the proposed regulations will be available for public inspection. A copy of the published 
118.29 	notice must be added to the record of the proceedings.
118.30 	(d) Notice of a hearing shall also be mailed to the governing body of each political 
118.31 	subdivision in which property affected by the regulations is located. Notice shall must be 
118.32 	given by mail at least 15 ten days before each hearing to any persons in municipalities that 
118.33 	own land proposed to be included in safety zone A or B as provided in the rules of the 
118.34 	Department of Transportation and landowners where the location or size of a building, or 
118.35 	the density of population, will be regulated. Mailed notice must also be provided at least 
119.1 	ten days before each hearing to persons or municipalities that have previously requested 
119.2 	such notice from the authority municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board. The notice 
119.3 	must specify the time, location, and purpose of the hearing, and must identify any additional 
119.4 	location and time the proposed regulations will be made available for public inspection. 
119.5 	Mailed notice must also identify the property affected by the regulations. For the purpose 
119.6 	of giving providing mailed notice, the authority municipality, county, or joint airport zoning 
119.7 	board may use any appropriate records to determine the names and addresses of owners. A 
119.8 	copy of the notice and a list of the owners and addresses to which the notice was sent shall 
119.9 	be attested to by the responsible person and shall must be made a part of added to the records 
119.10 	of the proceedings. The Failure to give provide mailed notice to individual property owners,
119.11 	or defects a defect in the notice, shall does not invalidate the proceedings; provided if a 
119.12 	bona fide attempt to comply with this subdivision has been was made. A notice shall describe 
119.13 	the property affected by the proposed regulations and the restrictions to be imposed on the 
119.14 	property by the regulations and shall state the place and time at which the proposed 
119.15 	regulations are available for public inspection.

119.16 	EFFECTIVE DATE; APPLICATION. This section is effective August 1, 2019, and 
119.17 	applies to airport sponsors that make or plan to make changes to runway lengths or 
119.18 	configurations on or after that date. This section does not apply to airports that: (1) have 
119.19 	airport safety zoning ordinances approved by the commissioner in effect on August 1, 2019; 
119.20 	(2) have not made and are not planning to make changes to runway lengths or configurations; 
119.21 	and (3) are not required to update airport safety zoning ordinances.

119.22 	Sec. 98. [360.0655] AIRPORT ZONING REGULATIONS BASED ON 
119.23 	COMMISSIONER'S STANDARDS; SUBMISSION PROCESS.
119.24 		Subdivision 1.Submission to commissioner; review. (a) Except as provided in section 
119.25 	360.0656, prior to adopting zoning regulations, the municipality, county, or joint airport 
119.26 	zoning board must submit the proposed regulations to the commissioner for the commissioner 
119.27 	to determine whether the regulations conform to the standards prescribed by the 
119.28 	commissioner. The municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board may elect to complete 
119.29 	custom airport zoning under section 360.0656 instead of using the commissioner's standard, 
119.30 	but only after providing written notice to the commissioner.
119.31 	(b) Notwithstanding section 15.99, the commissioner must examine the proposed 
119.32 	regulations within 90 days of receipt of the regulations and report to the municipality, county, 
119.33 	or joint airport zoning board the commissioner's approval or objections, if any. Failure to 
119.34 	respond within 90 days is deemed an approval. The commissioner may request additional 
120.1 	information from the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board within the 90-day 
120.2 	review period. If the commissioner requests additional information, the 90-day review period 
120.3 	is tolled until the commissioner receives information and deems the information satisfactory.
120.4 	(c) If the commissioner objects on the grounds that the regulations do not conform to 
120.5 	the standards prescribed by the commissioner, the municipality, county, or joint airport 
120.6 	zoning board must make amendments necessary to resolve the objections or provide written 
120.7 	notice to the commissioner that the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board will 
120.8 	proceed with zoning under section 360.0656.
120.9 	(d) If the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board makes revisions to the 
120.10 	proposed regulations after its initial public hearing, the municipality, county, or joint airport 
120.11 	zoning board must conduct a second public hearing on the revisions and resubmit the revised 
120.12 	proposed regulations to the commissioner for review. The commissioner must examine the 
120.13 	revised proposed regulations within 90 days of receipt to determine whether the revised 
120.14 	proposed regulations conform to the standards prescribed by the commissioner.
120.15 	(e) If, after a second review period, the commissioner determines that the municipality, 
120.16 	county, or joint airport zoning board failed to submit proposed regulations that conform to 
120.17 	the commissioner's standards, the commissioner must provide a final written decision to 
120.18 	the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board.
120.19 	(f) The municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board must not adopt regulations 
120.20 	or take other action until the proposed regulations are approved by the commissioner.
120.21 	(g) The commissioner may approve local zoning ordinances that are more stringent than 
120.22 	the commissioner's standards.
120.23 	(h) If the commissioner approves the proposed regulations, the municipality, county, or 
120.24 	joint airport zoning board may adopt the regulations.
120.25 	(i) A copy of the adopted regulations must be filed with the county recorder in each 
120.26 	county that contains a zoned area subject to the regulations.
120.27 	(j) Substantive rights that existed and had been exercised prior to August 1, 2019, are 
120.28 	not affected by the filing of the regulations.
120.29 		Subd. 2.Protection of existing land uses. (a) In order to ensure minimum disruption 
120.30 	of existing land uses, the commissioner's airport zoning standards and local airport zoning 
120.31 	ordinances or regulations adopted under this section must distinguish between the creation 
120.32 	or establishment of a use and the elimination of an existing use, and must avoid the 
120.33 	elimination, removal, or reclassification of existing uses to the extent consistent with 
121.1 	reasonable safety standards. The commissioner's standards must include criteria for 
121.2 	determining when an existing land use may constitute an airport hazard so severe that public 
121.3 	safety considerations outweigh the public interest in preventing disruption to that land use.
121.4 	(b) Airport zoning regulations that classify as a nonconforming use or require 
121.5 	nonconforming use classification with respect to any existing low-density structure or 
121.6 	existing isolated low-density building lots must be adopted under sections 360.061 to 
121.7 	360.074.
121.8 	(c) A local airport zoning authority may classify a land use described in paragraph (b) 
121.9 	as an airport hazard if the authority finds that the classification is justified by public safety 
121.10 	considerations and is consistent with the commissioner's airport zoning standards. Any land 
121.11 	use described in paragraph (b) that is classified as an airport hazard must be acquired, altered, 
121.12 	or removed at public expense.
121.13 	(d) This subdivision must not be construed to affect the classification of any land use 
121.14 	under any zoning ordinances or regulations not adopted under sections 360.061 to 360.074.

121.15 	EFFECTIVE DATE; APPLICATION. This section is effective August 1, 2019, and 
121.16 	applies to airport sponsors that make or plan to make changes to runway lengths or 
121.17 	configurations on or after that date. This section does not apply to airports that: (1) have 
121.18 	airport safety zoning ordinances approved by the commissioner in effect on August 1, 2019; 
121.19 	(2) have not made and are not planning to make changes to runway lengths or configurations; 
121.20 	and (3) are not required to update airport safety zoning ordinances.

121.21 	Sec. 99. [360.0656] CUSTOM AIRPORT ZONING STANDARDS.
121.22 		Subdivision 1.Custom airport zoning standards; factors. (a) Notwithstanding section 
121.23 	360.0655, a municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board must provide notice to the 
121.24 	commissioner when the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board intends to establish 
121.25 	and adopt custom airport zoning regulations under this section.
121.26 	(b) Airport zoning regulations submitted to the commissioner under this subdivision are 
121.27 	not subject to the commissioner's zoning regulations under section 360.0655 or Minnesota 
121.28 	Rules, part 8800.2400.
121.29 	(c) When developing and adopting custom airport zoning regulations under this section, 
121.30 	the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board must include in the record a detailed 
121.31 	analysis that explains how the proposed custom airport zoning regulations addressed the 
121.32 	following factors to ensure a reasonable level of safety:
122.1 	(1) the location of the airport, the surrounding land uses, and the character of 
122.2 	neighborhoods in the vicinity of the airport, including:
122.3 	(i) the location of vulnerable populations, including schools, hospitals, and nursing 
122.4 	homes, in the airport hazard area;
122.5 	(ii) the location of land uses that attract large assemblies of people in the airport hazard 
122.6 	area;
122.7 	(iii) the availability of contiguous open spaces in the airport hazard area;
122.8 	(iv) the location of wildlife attractants in the airport hazard area;
122.9 	(v) airport ownership or control of the federal Runway Protection Zone and the 
122.10 	department's Clear Zone;
122.11 	(vi) land uses that create or cause interference with the operation of radio or electronic 
122.12 	facilities used by the airport or aircraft;
122.13 	(vii) land uses that make it difficult for pilots to distinguish between airport lights and 
122.14 	other lights, result in glare in the eyes of pilots using the airport, or impair visibility in the 
122.15 	vicinity of the airport;
122.16 	(viii) land uses that otherwise inhibit a pilot's ability to land, take off, or maneuver the 
122.17 	aircraft;
122.18 	(ix) airspace protection to prevent the creation of air navigation hazards in the airport 
122.19 	hazard area; and
122.20 	(x) the social and economic costs of restricting land uses;
122.21 	(2) the airport's type of operations and how the operations affect safety surrounding the 
122.22 	airport;
122.23 	(3) the accident rate at the airport compared to a statistically significant sample, including 
122.24 	an analysis of accident distribution based on the rate with a higher accident incidence;
122.25 	(4) the planned land uses within an airport hazard area, including any applicable platting, 
122.26 	zoning, comprehensive plan, or transportation plan; and
122.27 	(5) any other information relevant to safety or the airport.
122.28 		Subd. 2.Submission to commissioner; review. (a) Except as provided in section 
122.29 	360.0655, prior to adopting zoning regulations, the municipality, county, or joint airport 
122.30 	zoning board must submit its proposed regulations and the supporting record to the 
122.31 	commissioner for review. The commissioner must determine whether the proposed custom 
123.1 	airport zoning regulations and supporting record (1) evaluate the criteria under subdivision 
123.2 	1, and (2) provide a reasonable level of safety.
123.3 	(b) Notwithstanding section 15.99, the commissioner must examine the proposed 
123.4 	regulations within 90 days of receipt of the regulations and report to the municipality, county, 
123.5 	or joint airport zoning board the commissioner's approval or objections, if any. Failure to 
123.6 	respond within 90 days is deemed an approval. The commissioner may request additional 
123.7 	information from the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board within the 90-day 
123.8 	review period.
123.9 	(c) If the commissioner objects on the grounds that the regulations do not provide a 
123.10 	reasonable level of safety, the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board must 
123.11 	review, consider, and provide a detailed explanation demonstrating how it evaluated the 
123.12 	objections and what action it took or did not take in response to the objections. If the 
123.13 	municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board submits amended regulations after its 
123.14 	initial public hearing, the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board must conduct 
123.15 	a second public hearing on the revisions and resubmit the revised proposed regulations to 
123.16 	the commissioner for review. The commissioner must examine the revised proposed 
123.17 	regulations within 90 days of receipt of the regulations. If the commissioner requests 
123.18 	additional information, the 90-day review period is tolled until satisfactory information is 
123.19 	received by the commissioner. Failure to respond within 90 days is deemed an approval.
123.20 	(d) If, after the second review period, the commissioner determines that the municipality, 
123.21 	county, or joint airport zoning board failed to submit proposed regulations that provide a 
123.22 	reasonable level of safety, the commissioner must provide a final written decision to the 
123.23 	municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board.
123.24 	(e) A municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board is prohibited from adopting 
123.25 	custom regulations or taking other action until the proposed regulations are approved by 
123.26 	the commissioner.
123.27 	(f) If the commissioner approves the proposed regulations, the municipality, county, or 
123.28 	joint airport zoning board may adopt the regulations.
123.29 	(g) A copy of the adopted regulations must be filed with the county recorder in each 
123.30 	county that contains a zoned area subject to the regulations.
123.31 	(h) Substantive rights that existed and had been exercised prior to August 1, 2019, are 
123.32 	not affected by the filing of the regulations.

124.1 	EFFECTIVE DATE; APPLICATION. This section is effective August 1, 2019, and 
124.2 	applies to airport sponsors that make or plan to make changes to runway lengths or 
124.3 	configurations on or after that date. This section does not apply to airports that: (1) have 
124.4 	airport safety zoning ordinances approved by the commissioner in effect on August 1, 2019; 
124.5 	(2) have not made and are not planning to make changes to runway lengths or configurations; 
124.6 	and (3) are not required to update airport safety zoning ordinances.

124.7 	Sec. 100. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 360.066, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
124.8 		Subdivision 1.Reasonableness. Standards of the commissioner Zoning standards defining 
124.9 	airport hazard areas and the categories of uses permitted and airport zoning regulations 
124.10 	adopted under sections 360.011 to 360.076, shall be reasonable, and none shall impose a 
124.11 	requirement or restriction which is not reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of 
124.12 	sections 360.011 to 360.076. In determining what minimum airport zoning regulations may 
124.13 	be adopted, the commissioner and a local airport zoning authority shall consider, among 
124.14 	other things, the character of the flying operations expected to be conducted at the airport, 
124.15 	the location of the airport, the nature of the terrain within the airport hazard area, the existing 
124.16 	land uses and character of the neighborhood around the airport, the uses to which the property 
124.17 	to be zoned are planned and adaptable, and the social and economic costs of restricting land 
124.18 	uses versus the benefits derived from a strict application of the standards of the commissioner.

124.19 	EFFECTIVE DATE; APPLICATION. This section is effective August 1, 2019, and 
124.20 	applies to airport sponsors that make or plan to make changes to runway lengths or 
124.21 	configurations on or after that date. This section does not apply to airports that: (1) have 
124.22 	airport safety zoning ordinances approved by the commissioner in effect on August 1, 2019; 
124.23 	(2) have not made and are not planning to make changes to runway lengths or configurations; 
124.24 	and (3) are not required to update airport safety zoning ordinances.

124.25 	Sec. 101. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 360.067, is amended by adding a subdivision 
124.26 	to read:
124.27 		Subd. 5.Federal no hazard determination. (a) Notwithstanding subdivisions 1 and 2, 
124.28 	a municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board may include in its custom airport zoning 
124.29 	regulations adopted under section 360.0656 an option to permit construction of a structure, 
124.30 	an increase or alteration of the height of a structure, or the growth of an existing tree without 
124.31 	a variance from height restrictions if the Federal Aviation Administration has analyzed the 
124.32 	proposed construction, alteration, or growth under Code of Federal Regulations, title 14, 
124.33 	part 77, and has determined the proposed construction, alteration, or growth does not:
125.1 	(1) pose a hazard to air navigation;
125.2 	(2) require changes to airport or aircraft operations; or
125.3 	(3) require any mitigation conditions by the Federal Aviation Administration that cannot 
125.4 	be satisfied by the landowner.
125.5 	(b) A municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board that permits an exception to 
125.6 	height restrictions under this subdivision must require the applicant to file the Federal 
125.7 	Aviation Administration's no hazard determination with the applicable zoning administrator. 
125.8 	The applicant must obtain written approval of the zoning administrator before construction, 
125.9 	alteration, or growth may occur. Failure of the administrator to respond within 60 days to 
125.10 	a filing under this subdivision is deemed a denial. The Federal Aviation Administration's 
125.11 	no hazard determination does not apply to requests for variation from land use, density, or 
125.12 	any other requirement unrelated to the height of structures or the growth of trees.

125.13 	EFFECTIVE DATE; APPLICATION. This section is effective August 1, 2019, and

A plan shall indicate the circumstances in which structures or trees are or would be airport hazards, the airport hazard area, and what measures should be taken to eliminate airport hazards. The commissioner shall prescribe airport approach and turning standards for airports of various classes, and airport zoning regulations adopted by a municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board shall conform to the standards, except as provided in sections 360.065 and 360.066. 

360.065 AIRPORT ZONING; ADOPTION AND APPROVAL OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS.Subd. 2.Regulations submitted to commissioner. 
Prior to adopting zoning regulations for an airport hazard area under sections 360.011 to 360.076, the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board which is to adopt the regulations shall submit its proposed regulations to the commissioner in order that the commissioner may determine whether it conforms to the standards prescribed by the commissioner. The commissioner shall immediately examine the proposed regulations and report to the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board the commissioner's approval, or objections, if any. If objections are made by the commissioner on the ground that the regulations do not conform to the standards prescribed by the commissioner for the class of airport involved, the municipality, county, or joint zoning board shall make amendments as are necessary to meet the objections unless it demonstrates that the social and economic costs of restricting land uses in accordance with the standards outweigh the benefits of a strict application of the standards. The governing body of the municipality or county or the joint airport zoning board shall not adopt the regulations or take other action until the proposed regulations are approved by the commissioner. The commissioner may approve local zoning ordinances that are more stringent than the standards. A copy of the regulations as adopted shall be filed with the county recorder in each county in which the zoned area is located. 

Substantive rights existing prior to the passage of this subdivision and previously exercised are not affected by the filing of the regulations. 

360.066 AIRPORT ZONING; MINIMUM STANDARDS, LAND USES.Subd. 1a.Protection of existing neighborhood. 
(a) In order to ensure the minimum disruption of existing land uses, particularly established residential neighborhoods in built-up urban areas, the airport zoning standards of the commissioner and the local airport zoning ordinances or regulations adopted under sections 360.061 to 360.074 shall distinguish between the creation or establishment of a use and the elimination of an existing use, and shall avoid the elimination, removal, or reclassification of existing uses to the extent consistent with reasonable standards of safety. The standards of the commissioner shall include criteria for determining when an existing land use may constitute an airport hazard so severe that considerations of public safety outweigh the public interest in preventing disruption to that land use. 

(b) No airport zoning standards or local airport zoning ordinances or regulations shall be adopted pursuant to sections 360.061 to 360.074 that classify as a nonconforming use or require such classification with respect to any low-density residential structure or isolated low-density residential building lots existing on January 1, 1978, in an established residential neighborhood. 

(c) A local airport zoning authority may classify a land use described in paragraph (b) as an airport hazard if that authority finds that this classification is justified by considerations of public safety and is consistent with the airport zoning standards of the commissioner. Any land use described in paragraph (b) which is classified as an airport hazard shall be acquired, altered, or removed at public expense. 

(d) The provisions of this subdivision shall not be construed to affect the classification of any land use under any zoning ordinances or regulations not adopted pursuant to sections 360.061 to 360.074. 

Subd. 1b.Amendment of standards. 
Within nine months after March 29, 1978, the commissioner shall amend the standards defining airport hazard areas and categories of uses permitted therein to conform with the requirements of Laws 1978, chapter 654. Until the commissioner adopts amended standards as required by this subdivision the unamended standards, insofar as they require classification of any residential property as a nonconforming use contrary to the provisions of subdivision 1a, paragraph (b), shall be without force or effect.
