60.27 	ARTICLE 3
60.28 	MISCELLANEOUS

60.29 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 16A.632, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
60.30 		Subd. 2.Standards. (a) Article XI, section 5, clause (a), of the constitution states general 
60.31 	obligation bonds may be issued to finance only the acquisition or betterment of state land, 
61.1 	buildings, and improvements of a capital nature. In interpreting this and applying it to the 
61.2 	purposes of the program contemplated in this section, the following standards are adopted 
61.3 	for the disbursement of money from the capital asset preservation and replacement account:
61.4 	(b) No An appropriation under this section may not be used to acquire new land, or
61.5 	buildings, or major new improvements will be acquired. These projects, including all capital 
61.6 	expenditures required to permit their effective use for the intended purpose on completion, 
61.7 	will be estimated and provided for individually through a direct appropriation for each 
61.8 	project nor to construct new buildings or additions to buildings.
61.9 	(c) An expenditure will be made from the account only when it is a capital expenditure 
61.10 	on a capital asset previously owned by the state, within the meaning of accepted accounting 
61.11 	principles as applied to public expenditures. The commissioner of administration will consult 
61.12 	with the commissioner of management and budget to the extent necessary to ensure this 
61.13 	and will furnish the commissioner of management and budget a list of projects to be financed 
61.14 	from the account in order of their priority. The commissioner shall also furnish each revision 
61.15 	of the list. The legislature assumes that many provisions for preservation and replacement 
61.16 	of portions of existing capital assets will constitute betterments and capital improvements 
61.17 	within the meaning of the constitution and capital expenditures under correct accounting 
61.18 	principles, and will be financed more efficiently and economically under the program than 
61.19 	by direct appropriations for specific projects. However, the purpose of the program is to 
61.20 	accumulate data showing how additional costs may be saved by appropriating money from 
61.21 	the general fund for preservation measures, the necessity of which is predictable over short 
61.22 	periods.
61.23 	(d) The commissioner of administration will furnish instructions to agencies to apply 
61.24 	for funding of capital expenditures for preservation and replacement from the account, will 
61.25 	review applications, will make initial allocations among types of eligible projects enumerated 
61.26 	below, will determine priorities, and will allocate money in priority order until the available 
61.27 	appropriation has been committed. An appropriation under this section may not be used to 
61.28 	make minor emergency repairs.
61.29 	(e) Categories of projects considered likely to be most needed and appropriate for 
61.30 	financing are the following:
61.31 	(1) unanticipated emergencies of all kinds, for which a relatively small amount should 
61.32 	be initially reserved, replaced from money allocated to low-priority projects, if possible, as 
61.33 	emergencies occur, and used for stabilization rather than replacement if the cost would 
62.1 	exhaust the account and should be specially appropriated involving impacts to state-owned 
62.2 	property;
62.3 	(2) major projects to remove address life safety hazards for existing buildings and sites, 
62.4 	including but not limited to security, like replacement of mechanical and other building 
62.5 	systems, building code violations, or structural defects, at costs not large enough to require 
62.6 	major capital requests to the legislature;
62.7 	(3) elimination removal or containment of hazardous substances like asbestos or PCBs;
62.8 	(4) moderate cost replacement major projects to replace and repair of roofs, windows, 
62.9 	tuckpointing, and or structural members necessary to preserve the exterior and interior of 
62.10 	existing buildings; and
62.11 	(5) up to ten percent of an appropriation awarded under this section may be used for 
62.12 	design costs for projects eligible to be funded from this account in anticipation of future 
62.13 	funding from the account.

62.14 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 16A.632, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
62.15 		Subd. 4.Report. By January 15 March 1 of each year the commissioner of administration, 
62.16 	with respect to each state agency, shall submit to the commissioner of management and 
62.17 	budget, the chairs of the finance divisions that oversee the appropriations to that state agency, 
62.18 	and to the chairs of the senate Finance Committee and the house of representatives Capital 
62.19 	Investment Committee, a list of the projects in the agency that have been funded with money 
62.20 	from the capital asset preservation and replacement account during the preceding calendar 
62.21 	year, as well as a list of those priority projects for which CAPRA appropriations will be 
62.22 	sought for the agency in that year's legislative session.

62.23 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 16A.966, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
62.24 		Subd. 2.Authorization to issue appropriation bonds. (a) Subject to the limitations of 
62.25 	this subdivision, the commissioner may sell and issue appropriation bonds of the state under 
62.26 	this section for public purposes as provided by law, including for the purposes of financing 
62.27 	the cost of implementing removal or remedial actions permitted under section 115B.17 and 
62.28 	further subject to the conditions in chapter 115B to address risks to human health and the 
62.29 	environment at contaminated sites. Appropriation bonds may be sold and issued in amounts 
62.30 	that, in the opinion of the commissioner, are necessary to provide sufficient money to the 
62.31 	commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency under subdivision 7, not to exceed 
62.32 	$30,400,000 net of costs of issuance, for the purposes as provided under this subdivision, 
63.1 	and to pay debt service including capitalized interest, costs of issuance, costs of credit 
63.2 	enhancement, or make payments under other agreements entered into under paragraph (d). 
63.3 	Notwithstanding section 115B.17, subdivision 6 or 16, any money recovered in a civil action 
63.4 	or any money received from the disposition of property acquired for a response action and 
63.5 	financed with bonds under this section shall be transferred to the commissioner and applied 
63.6 	toward principal and interest on outstanding bonds.
63.7 	(b) Proceeds of the appropriation bonds must be credited to a special appropriation state 
63.8 	response to releases bond proceeds fund in the state treasury. All income from investment 
63.9 	of the bond proceeds, as estimated by the commissioner, is appropriated to the commissioner 
63.10 	for the payment of principal and interest on the appropriation bonds.
63.11 	(c) Appropriation bonds may be issued in one or more issues or series on the terms and 
63.12 	conditions the commissioner determines to be in the best interests of the state, but the term 
63.13 	on any series of appropriation bonds may not exceed 21 years. The appropriation bonds of 
63.14 	each issue and series thereof shall be dated and bear interest, and may be includable in or 
63.15 	excludable from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes.
63.16 	(d) At the time of, or in anticipation of, issuing the appropriation bonds, and at any time 
63.17 	thereafter, so long as the appropriation bonds are outstanding, the commissioner may enter 
63.18 	into agreements and ancillary arrangements relating to the appropriation bonds, including 
63.19 	but not limited to trust indentures, grant agreements, lease or use agreements, operating 
63.20 	agreements, management agreements, liquidity facilities, remarketing or dealer agreements, 
63.21 	letter of credit agreements, insurance policies, guaranty agreements, reimbursement 
63.22 	agreements, indexing agreements, or interest exchange agreements. Any payments made 
63.23 	or received according to the agreement or ancillary arrangement shall be made from or 
63.24 	deposited as provided in the agreement or ancillary arrangement. The determination of the 
63.25 	commissioner included in an interest exchange agreement that the agreement relates to an 
63.26 	appropriation bond shall be conclusive.
63.27 	(e) The commissioner may enter into written agreements or contracts relating to the 
63.28 	continuing disclosure of information necessary to comply with or facilitate the issuance of 
63.29 	appropriation bonds in accordance with federal securities laws, rules, and regulations, 
63.30 	including Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations in Code of Federal 
63.31 	Regulations, title 17, section 240.15c 2-12. An agreement may be in the form of covenants 
63.32 	with purchasers and holders of appropriation bonds set forth in the order or resolution 
63.33 	authorizing the issuance of the appropriation bonds, or a separate document authorized by 
63.34 	the order or resolution.
64.1 	(f) The appropriation bonds are not subject to chapter 16C.
64.2 	(g) Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642, the bond authorization and 
64.3 	appropriation of bond proceeds for this project are available until December 31, 2027.

64.4 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 16B.307, is amended to read:
64.5 	16B.307 ASSET PRESERVATION APPROPRIATIONS.
64.6 		Subdivision 1.Standards. (a) Article XI, section 5, clause (a), of the constitution requires 
64.7 	that state general obligation bonds be issued to finance only the acquisition or betterment 
64.8 	of public land, buildings, and other public improvements of a capital nature. Money 
64.9 	appropriated for asset preservation, whether from state bond proceeds or from other revenue, 
64.10 	is subject to the following additional limitations:
64.11 	(b) An appropriation for asset preservation may not be used to acquire new land nor to 
64.12 	acquire or construct new buildings, or additions to buildings, or major new improvements.
64.13 	(c) An appropriation for asset preservation may be used only for a capital expenditure 
64.14 	on a capital asset previously owned by the state, within the meaning of generally accepted 
64.15 	accounting principles as applied to public expenditures. The commissioner of administration 
64.16 	will consult with the commissioner of management and budget to the extent necessary to 
64.17 	ensure this and will furnish the commissioner of management and budget a list of projects 
64.18 	to be financed from the account in order of their priority. The legislature assumes that many 
64.19 	projects for preservation and replacement of portions of existing capital assets will constitute 
64.20 	betterments and capital improvements within the meaning of the constitution and capital 
64.21 	expenditures under generally accepted accounting principles, and will be financed more 
64.22 	efficiently and economically under this section than by direct appropriations for specific 
64.23 	projects.
64.24 	(d) Categories of projects considered likely to be most needed and appropriate for asset 
64.25 	preservation appropriations are the following:
64.26 	(1) major projects to remove address life safety hazards for existing buildings and sites, 
64.27 	including but not limited to security, like building code violations or structural defects.

65.4 	(4) major projects to renovate repair parking structures facilities and surface lots.
65.5 	(e) Up to ten percent of an appropriation subject to this section may be used for design 
65.6 	costs for projects eligible to be funded under this section in anticipation of future asset 
65.7 	preservation appropriations.
65.8 		Subd. 2.Report. By January 15 March 1 of each year, the commissioner of an agency 
65.9 	that has received an appropriation for asset preservation shall submit to the commissioner 
65.10 	of management and budget, the chairs of the legislative committees or divisions that currently

66.16 	Sec. 6. [116.196] STORMWATER CONSTRUCTION GRANT PROGRAM.
66.17 		Subdivision 1.Purposes; public interest; declaration of policy.  The legislature finds 
66.18 	that enhanced stormwater infrastructure is needed to properly manage stormwater from 
66.19 	frequent, heavy rain and other weather events that have increased community flooding due 
66.20 	to aging and undersized stormwater systems; that managing stormwater also protects state 
66.21 	natural resources and the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens; that opportunities to 
66.22 	upgrade stormwater infrastructure are not being fully realized by individual political 
66.23 	subdivisions, Tribal governments, or by agreements among subdivisions; and that therefore 
66.24 	it is necessary to provide capital assistance to allow for the planning and installation of 
66.25 	stormwater infrastructure that can manage increases in precipitation and other causes of 
66.26 	runoff.
66.27 		Subd. 2.Administration; assurance of funds.  The commissioner may provide technical 
66.28 	and financial assistance for the development and improvement of stormwater infrastructure 
66.29 	from appropriations made for the purposes of this section. Money appropriated for the

66.31 	grants up to 80 percent of the capital cost of the project.
67.1 		Subd. 3.Program established. The commissioner shall establish a stormwater 
67.2 	infrastructure funding program to provide supplemental assistance to political subdivisions 
67.3 	and Tribal governments. When money is appropriated for grants under this program, the 
67.4 	commissioner shall award grants to political subdivisions and Tribal governments up to a 
67.5 	maximum of $5,000,000 per project to cover up to 80 percent of the cost of each stormwater 
67.6 	infrastructure project necessary to:
67.7 	(1) increase stormwater system capacity or stormwater storage;
67.8 	(2) address environmental damage caused by weather extremes;
67.9 	(3) prevent localized flooding;
67.10 	(4) create stormwater systems that can manage flows from heavy rains;
67.11 	(5) address public safety concerns caused by undersized stormwater systems; or
67.12 	(6) ensure continuation of critical services during severe weather.
67.13 		Subd. 4.Grant application. Application for a grant must be made on a form prescribed 
67.14 	by the commissioner, including a project schedule and cost estimate for the work necessary 
67.15 	to comply with the requirements listed in subdivision 1.
67.16 		Subd. 5.Grant approval. The commissioner shall not grant money for an eligible project 
67.17 	unless:
67.18 	(1) the applicant has submitted the as-bid cost for the stormwater infrastructure project;

67.25 		Subdivision 1. Establishment; accounts  (a) A transportation facilities capital program 
67.26 	is established to prioritize among eligible projects that:
67.27 	(1) support the programmatic mission of the department;
67.28 	(2) extend the useful life of existing buildings; or
67.29 	(3) renovate or construct facilities to meet the department's current and future operational 
67.30 	needs.
68.1 	(b) Projects under the transportation facilities capital program are funded by proceeds 
68.2 	from the sale of trunk highway bonds or from other funds appropriated for the purposes of 
68.3 	this section.
68.4 	(c) A transportation facilities capital account is established in the trunk highway fund. 
68.5 	The account consists of all money appropriated from the trunk highway fund for the purposes 
68.6 	of this section and any other money donated, allotted, transferred, or otherwise provided to 
68.7 	the account by law. Money in the account is appropriated to the commissioner for the 
68.8 	purposes specified and consistent with the standards and criteria set forth in this section.

68.12 	purposes, which includes the purposes in this section.
68.13 		Subd. 2.Standards. (a) Minnesota Constitution, article XIV, section 11, states that trunk 
68.14 	highway bonds may be issued to finance the construction, improvement, and maintenance 
68.15 	of the public highway system in the state. The legislature assumes that many projects for 
68.16 	preservation and replacement of portions of existing capital assets will constitute the 
68.17 	construction, improvement, maintenance of the public highway system within the meaning 
68.18 	of the constitution and capital expenditures under generally accepted accounting principles, 
68.19 	and will be financed more efficiently and economically under the program than by direct 
68.20 	appropriations for specific projects.
68.21 	(b) When allocating funding under this section, the commissioner must review the 
68.22 	projects deemed eligible under subdivision 3 and prioritize allocations using the criteria in 
68.23 	subdivision 4. Money allocated to a specific project in an appropriation or other law must 
68.24 	be allocated as provided by the law.
68.25 		Subd. 3.Eligible expenditures; limitations. (a) A project is eligible under this section 
68.26 	only if it is a capital expenditure on a capital building asset owned or to be owned by the 
68.27 	state within the meaning of accepted accounting principles as applied to public expenditures.
68.28 	(b) Capital budget expenditures that are eligible under this section include but are not 
68.29 	limited to: acquisition of land and buildings and the predesign, design, engineering, 
68.30 	construction, furnishing, and equipping of district headquarter buildings, truck stations, salt 
68.31 	storage or other unheated storage buildings, deicing and anti-icing facilities, fuel-dispensing 
68.32 	facilities, highway rest areas, and vehicle weigh and inspection stations.
68.33 		Subd. 4.Criteria for priorities. When prioritizing funding allocation among projects 
68.34 	eligible under subdivision 3, the commissioner must consider:
69.1 	(1) whether a project ensures the effective and efficient condition and operation of the 
69.2 	facility;
69.3 	(2) the urgency in ensuring the safe use of existing buildings;
69.4 	(3) the project's total life-cycle cost;
69.5 	(4) additional criteria for priorities otherwise specified in law, statute, or rule that applies 
69.6 	to a category listed in the act making an appropriation for the program; and
69.7 	(5) any other criteria the commissioner deems necessary.

APPENDIX 

Repealed Minnesota Statutes: 23-02208 

16A.93 MINNESOTA PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE ACT.
Sections 16A.93 to 16A.96 may be cited as the "Minnesota Pay-for-Performance Act of 2011." 

16A.94 PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE PROGRAM.Subdivision 1.Pilot program established. 
The commissioner shall implement a pilot program to demonstrate the feasibility and desirability of using state appropriation bonds to pay for certain services based on performance and outcomes for the people served. 

Subd. 2.Oversight committee. 
(a) The commissioner shall appoint an oversight committee to: 

(1) identify criteria to select one or more services to be included in the pilot program; 

(2) identify the conditions of performance and desired outcomes for the people served by each service selected; 

(3) identify criteria to evaluate whether a service has met the performance conditions; and 

(4) provide any other advice or assistance requested by the commissioner. 

(b) The oversight committee must include the commissioners of the Departments of Human Services, Employment and Economic Development, and Administration, or their designees; a representative of a nonprofit organization with experience in performance contracting; and any other person or organization that the commissioner determines would be of assistance in developing and implementing the pilot program. 

Subd. 3.Contracts. 
The commissioner and the commissioner of the agency with a service to be provided through the pilot program may enter into a pay-for-performance contract with a provider that meets the criteria identified by the oversight committee. The contract must specify the service to be provided, the time frame in which it is to be provided, the outcome required for payment, and any other terms deemed necessary or convenient for implementation of the pilot program. The commissioner shall pay a provider that has met the terms and conditions of a contract with money appropriated to the commissioner from the special appropriation bond proceeds account established in section 16A.96. At a minimum, before the commissioner pays a provider, the commissioner must determine that the provider has met the return on investment criteria in subdivision 4. 

Subd. 4.Return on investment calculation. 
The commissioner, in consultation with the oversight committee, must establish the method and data required for calculating the state's return on investment. The data at a minimum must include: 

(1) state income taxes and any other revenues collected in the year after the service was provided that would not have been collected without the service; and 

(2) costs avoided by the state by providing the service. 

Prior to entering into a contract under subdivision 3, the commissioner in consultation with the oversight committee must determine that the services provided under the contract will yield a positive return on investment for the state that will cover the estimated state costs in financing and administering the pilot program through documented increased state tax revenue or cost avoidance. 

Subd. 5.Report to governor and legislature. 
The commissioner must report to the governor and legislative committees with jurisdiction over capital investment, finance, and ways and means, and the services included in the pilot program, by January 15 of each year following a year in which the pilot program is operating. The report must describe and discuss the criteria for selection and evaluation of services to be provided through the program, the net benefits to the state of the program, the state's return on investment, the cost of the services provided by other means in the most recent past, the time frame for payment for the services, and the timing and costs for sale and issuance of the bonds authorized in section 16A.96. 

16A.96 MINNESOTA PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE PROGRAM; APPROPRIATION BONDS.Subdivision 1.Definitions. 
(a) The definitions in this subdivision apply to this section. 

(b) "Appropriation bond" means a bond, note, or other similar instrument of the state payable during a biennium from one or more of the following sources: 

(1) money appropriated by law in any biennium for debt service due with respect to obligations described in subdivision 2, paragraph (b); 

(2) proceeds of the sale of obligations described in subdivision 2, paragraph (b); 

(3) payments received for that purpose under agreements and ancillary arrangements described in subdivision 2, paragraph (d); and 

(4) investment earnings on amounts in clauses (1) to (3). 

(c) "Debt service" means the amount payable in any biennium of principal, premium, if any, and interest on appropriation bonds. 

Subd. 2.Authority. 
(a) Subject to the limitations of this subdivision, the commissioner of management and budget may sell and issue appropriation bonds of the state under this section for the purposes of the Minnesota pay-for-performance program established in sections 16A.93 to 16A.96. Proceeds of the bonds must be credited to a special appropriation bond proceeds account in the state treasury. Net income from investment of the proceeds, as estimated by the commissioner, must be credited to the special appropriation bond proceeds account. 

(b) Appropriation bonds may be sold and issued in amounts that, in the opinion of the commissioner, are necessary to provide sufficient funds for achieving the purposes authorized as provided under paragraph (a), and pay debt service, pay costs of issuance, make deposits to reserve funds, pay the costs of credit enhancement, or make payments under other agreements entered into under paragraph (d); provided, however, that bonds issued and unpaid shall not exceed $10,000,000 in principal amount, excluding refunding bonds sold and issued under subdivision 4. The commissioner may sell and issue bonds only in an amount that the commissioner determines will result in principal and interest payments less than the amount of savings to be generated through pay-for-performance contracts under section 16A.94. For programs achieving savings under a pay-for-performance contract, the commissioner must reduce general fund appropriations by at least the amount of principal and interest payments on bonds issued under this section. 

(c) Appropriation bonds may be issued in one or more series on the terms and conditions the commissioner determines to be in the best interests of the state, but the term on any series of bonds may not exceed 20 years. 

(d) At the time of, or in anticipation of, issuing the appropriation bonds, and at any time thereafter, so long as the appropriation bonds are outstanding, the commissioner may enter into agreements and ancillary arrangements relating to the appropriation bonds, including but not limited to trust indentures, liquidity facilities, remarketing or dealer agreements, letter of credit agreements, insurance policies, guaranty agreements, reimbursement agreements, indexing agreements, or interest exchange agreements. Any payments made or received according to the agreement or ancillary arrangement shall be made from or deposited as provided in the agreement or ancillary arrangement. The determination of the commissioner included in an interest exchange agreement that the agreement relates to an appropriation bond shall be conclusive. 

Subd. 3.Form; procedure. 
(a) Appropriation bonds may be issued in the form of bonds, notes, or other similar instruments, and in the manner provided in section 16A.672. In the event that any provision of section 16A.672 conflicts with this section, this section shall control. 

(b) Every appropriation bond shall include a conspicuous statement of the limitation established in subdivision 6. 

(c) Appropriation bonds may be sold at either public or private sale upon such terms as the commissioner shall determine are not inconsistent with this section and may be sold at any price or percentage of par value. Any bid received may be rejected. 

(d) Appropriation bonds may bear interest at a fixed or variable rate. 

Subd. 4.Refunding bonds. 
The commissioner from time to time may issue appropriation bonds for the purpose of refunding any appropriation bonds then outstanding, including the payment of any redemption premiums on the bonds, any interest accrued or to accrue to the redemption date, and costs related to the issuance and sale of the refunding bonds. The proceeds of any refunding bonds may, in the discretion of the commissioner, be applied to the purchase or payment at maturity of the appropriation bonds to be refunded, to the redemption of the outstanding bonds on any redemption date, or to pay interest on the refunding bonds and may, pending application, be placed in escrow to be applied to the purchase, payment, retirement, or redemption. Any escrowed proceeds, pending such use, may be invested and reinvested in obligations that are authorized investments under section 11A.24. The income earned or realized on the investment may also be applied to the payment of the bonds to be refunded or interest or premiums on the refunded bonds, or to pay interest on the refunding bonds. After the terms of the escrow have been fully satisfied, any balance of the proceeds and any investment income may be returned to the general fund or, if applicable, the appropriation bond proceeds account for use in any lawful manner. All refunding bonds issued under this subdivision must be prepared, executed, delivered, and secured by appropriations in the same manner as the bonds to be refunded. 

Subd. 5.Appropriation bonds as legal investments. 
Any of the following entities may legally invest any sinking funds, money, or other funds belonging to them or under their control in any appropriation bonds issued under this section: 

(1) the state, the investment board, public officers, municipal corporations, political subdivisions, and public bodies; 

(2) banks and bankers, savings and loan associations, credit unions, trust companies, savings banks and institutions, investment companies, insurance companies, insurance associations, and other persons carrying on a banking or insurance business; and 

(3) personal representatives, guardians, trustees, and other fiduciaries. 

Subd. 6.No full faith and credit; state not required to make appropriations. 
The appropriation bonds are not public debt of the state, and the full faith, credit, and taxing powers of the state are not pledged to the payment of the appropriation bonds or to any payment that the state agrees to make under this section. Appropriation bonds shall not be obligations paid directly, in whole or in part, from a tax of statewide application on any class of property, income, transaction, or privilege. Appropriation bonds shall be payable in each fiscal year only from amounts that the legislature may appropriate for debt service for any fiscal year, provided that nothing in this section shall be construed to require the state to appropriate funds sufficient to make debt service payments with respect to the bonds in any fiscal year. 

Subd. 7.Appropriation of proceeds. 
The proceeds of appropriation bonds and interest credited to the special appropriation bond proceeds account are appropriated to the commissioner for payment of contract obligations under the pay-for-performance program, as permitted by state and federal law, reasonable administrative costs of the program that are directly attributable to the program, issuance costs, and nonsalary expenses incurred in conjunction with the sale of the appropriation bonds. 

Subd. 8.Appropriation for debt service. 
The amount needed to pay principal and interest on appropriation bonds issued under this section is appropriated each year to the commissioner from the general fund subject to the repeal, unallotment under section 16A.152, or cancellation otherwise pursuant to subdivision 6. 

Subd. 9.Administrative costs. 
The commissioner may accept donations from private sources to defray administrative costs under this section. Amounts received are appropriated to the commissioner. 

Subd. 10.Validation. 
(a) Appropriation bonds issued under this section may be validated in the manner provided by this subdivision. If comparable appropriation bonds are judicially determined to be valid, nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to prevent sale or delivery of any appropriation bonds or notes after entry of a judgment of validation by the Minnesota Supreme Court as provided in this subdivision with respect to the appropriation bonds authorized under this section. 

(b) Any appropriation bonds issued under this section that are validated shall be validated in the manner provided by this subdivision. 

(c) The Minnesota Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction to determine the validation of appropriation bonds and all matters connected with the issuance of the bonds. 

(d) The commissioner may determine the commissioner's authority to issue appropriation bonds and the legality of all proceedings in connection with issuing bonds. For this purpose, a complaint shall be filed by the commissioner in the Minnesota Supreme Court against the state and the taxpayers and citizens. 

(e) As a condition precedent to filing of a complaint for the validation of appropriation bonds, the commissioner shall take action providing for the issuance of appropriation bonds in accordance with law. 

(f) The complaint shall set out the state's authority to issue appropriation bonds, the action or proceeding authorizing the issue and its adoption, all other essential proceedings had or taken in connection with issuing bonds, the amount of the appropriation bonds to be issued and the maximum interest they are to bear, and all other pertinent matters. 

(g) The Minnesota Supreme Court shall issue an order directed against the state and taxpayers, citizens, and others having or claiming any right, title, or interest affected by the issuance of appropriation bonds, or to be affected by the bonds, allowing all persons, in general terms and without naming them, and the state through its attorney general to appear before the Minnesota Supreme Court at a designated time and place and show why the complaint should not be granted and the proceedings and appropriation bonds validated. A copy of the complaint and order shall be served on the attorney general at least 20 days before the time fixed for hearing. The attorney general shall examine the complaint, and, if it appears or there is reason to believe that it is defective, insufficient, or untrue, or if in the opinion of the attorney general the issuance of the appropriation bonds in question has not been duly authorized, defense shall be made by the attorney general as the attorney general deems appropriate. 

(h) Before the date set for hearing, as directed by the Minnesota Supreme Court, either the clerk of the Minnesota Appellate Courts or the commissioner shall publish a copy of the order in a legal newspaper of general circulation in Ramsey County and the state, at least once each week for two consecutive weeks, commencing with the first publication, which shall not be less than 20 days before the date set for hearing. By this publication, all taxpayers, citizens, and others having or claiming any right, title, or interest in the state, are made parties defendant to the action and the Minnesota Supreme Court has jurisdiction of them to the same extent as if named as defendants in the complaint and personally served with process. 

(i) Any taxpayer, citizen, or person interested may become a party to the action by moving against or pleading to the complaint at or before the time set for hearing. The Minnesota Supreme Court shall determine all questions of law and fact and make orders that will enable it to properly try and determine the action and render a final judgment within 30 days of the hearing with the least possible delay. 

(j) If the judgment validates appropriation bonds, the judgment is forever conclusive as to all matters adjudicated and as against all parties affected and all others having or claiming any right, title, or interest affected by the issuance of appropriation bonds, or to be affected in any way by issuing the bonds, and the validity of appropriation bonds or of any revenues pledged for the payment of the bonds, or of the proceedings authorizing the issuance of the bonds, including any remedies provided for their collection, shall never be called in question in any court by any person or party. 

(k)(1) Appropriation bonds, when validated under this section, shall have stamped or written on the bonds, by the proper officers of the state issuing them, a statement in substantially the following form: "This bond is one of a series of appropriation bonds, which were validated by judgment of the Supreme Court of the State of Minnesota, rendered on ....., (year) ......". 

(2) A certified copy of the judgment or decree shall be received as evidence in any court in this state.
