group consisting of the members of the
Legislative Advisory Commission under
Minnesota Statutes, section 3.30, and the
ranking minority members of the house of
representatives and senate committees with
jurisdiction over transportation finance, may
transfer all or part of the unappropriated
balance in the trunk highway fund to an
appropriation (1) for trunk highway design,
construction, or inspection in order to
take advantage of an unanticipated receipt
of income to the trunk highway fund or
to take advantage of federal advanced
construction funding, (2) for trunk highway
maintenance in order to meet an emergency,
or (3) to pay tort or environmental claims.
Nothing in this subdivision authorizes the

advanced construction funding beyond
amounts specifically authorized. Any
transfer as a result of the use of federal
advanced construction funding must include
an analysis of the effects on the long-term
trunk highway fund balance. The amount
transferred is appropriated for the purpose of
the account to which it is transferred.
