If the county within which it is located has adopted 58.15 a separation ordinance, the ordinance applies in all local units 58.16 within the county that have failed to meet the local abatement 58.17 performance standards, as stated in the most recent annual 58.18 county report. 58.19 (c) Ordinances of counties and local government units may 58.20 establish reasonable conditions respecting but shall not prevent 58.21 the transportation of solid waste by a licensed collector 58.22 through and between counties and local units, except as required 58.23 for the enforcement of any designation of a facility by a county 58.24 under chapter 115A or for enforcement of the prohibition on 58.25 disposal of unprocessed mixed municipal solid waste under 58.26 sections 473.848 and 473.849. 58.27 (d) A licensed collector or a metropolitan county or local 58.28 government unit may request review by the council of an 58.29 ordinance adopted under this subdivision. The council shall 58.30 approve or disapprove the ordinance within 60 days of the 58.31 submission of a request for review. The ordinance shall remain 58.32 in effect unless it is disapproved. 58.33 (e) Ordinances of counties and local units of government: 58.34 (1) shall provide for the enforcement of any designation of 58.35 facilities by the counties under chapter 115A; 58.36 (2) may require waste collectors and transporters to 59.1 deliver unprocessed mixed municipal solid waste generated in the 59.2 county to processing facilities; and 59.3 (3) may prohibit waste collectors and transporters from 59.4 delivering unprocessed mixed municipal solid waste generated in 59.5 the county to disposal facilities for final disposal. 59.6 (f) Nothing in this subdivision limits the authority of the 59.7 local government unit to regulate and license collectors of 59.8 solid waste or to require review or approval by the council for 59.9 ordinances regulating collection. 59.10 Sec. 92. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 473.834, 59.11 subdivision 2, is amended to read: 59.12 Subd. 2. [ALLOCATION OF DEBT SERVICE.] The annual debt 59.13 service on the council's solid waste bonds, issued 59.14 under Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 473.831, shall be 59.15 annually apportioned and certified by the council to each county 59.16 in the metropolitan area, in the proportion that the net tax 59.17 capacity of all taxable property within each county bears to the 59.18 net tax capacity of the taxable property in all the counties, 59.19 except that the apportionment to each county shall first be 59.20 adjusted to reflect exemptions from payment required by 59.21 subdivision 1. 59.22 Sec. 93. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 474A.061, 59.23 subdivision 2a, is amended to read: 59.24 Subd. 2a. [HOUSING POOL ALLOCATION.] (a) On the first 59.25 business day that falls on a Monday of the calendar year, the 59.26 first Monday in February, the first Monday in March, and the 59.27 first Monday in April, the commissioner shall allocate available 59.28 bonding authority in the housing pool to applications received 59.29 by the Monday of the previous week for residential rental 59.30 projects that meet the eligibility criteria under section 59.31 474A.047. After April 1, and through April 15, the Minnesota 59.32 housing finance agency may accept applications from cities for 59.33 single-family housing programs which meet program requirements 59.34 as follows: 59.35 (1) the housing program must meet a locally identified 59.36 housing need and be economically viable; 60.1 (2) the adjusted income of home buyers may not exceed the 60.2 greater of the agency's income limits or 80 percent of the area 60.3 median income as published by the Department of Housing and 60.4 Urban Development; 60.5 (3) house price limits may not exceed: 60.6 (i) the greater of agency house price limits or the federal 60.7 price limits for housing up to a maximum of $95,000; or 60.8 (ii) for a new construction affordability initiative, the 60.9 greater of 115 percent of agency house price limits or 90 60.10 percent of the median purchase price in the city for which the 60.11 bonds are to be sold up to a maximum of $95,000. 60.12 Data establishing the median purchase price in the city 60.13 must be included in the application by a city requesting house 60.14 price limits higher than the housing finance agency's house 60.15 price limits; 60.16(4) the housing program meets the requirements of section60.17474A.048;and 60.18(5)(4) an application deposit equal to one percent of the 60.19 requested allocation must be submitted with the city's signed 60.20 allocation agreement. The agency shall submit the city's 60.21 application and application deposit to the commissioner when 60.22 requesting an allocation from the housing pool. 60.23 The Minnesota housing finance agency may accept 60.24 applications from July 1 through July 15 from cities for 60.25 single-family housing programs which meet program requirements 60.26 specified under clauses (1) to(5)(4) if bonding authority is 60.27 available in the housing pool. The agency and a representative 60.28 for each applicant shall negotiate the terms of an agreement 60.29 regarding the allocation of available authority among the 60.30 applicants. The agreement must allot available bonding 60.31 authority among the applicants. For purposes of paragraphs (a) 60.32 to (d), "city" means county and has the meaning given it in 60.33 section 462C.02, subdivision 6, and "agency" means the Minnesota 60.34 housing finance agency. 60.35 (b) Upon reaching agreement with participating cities, the 60.36 agency shall forward the agreement and application deposit 61.1 checks to the commissioner. The agreement must specify the 61.2 amounts allotted to each applicant. The agency may issue bonds 61.3 on behalf of participating cities. The agency shall request an 61.4 allocation from the commissioner for all applicants who choose 61.5 to have the agency issue bonds on their behalf and the 61.6 commissioner shall allocate the requested amount to the agency. 61.7 The agency may request an allocation at any time after the first 61.8 Monday in April and through the last Monday in July, but may 61.9 request an allocation no later than the last Monday in July. 61.10 The commissioner shall return any application deposit to a city 61.11 that paid an application deposit under paragraph (a), clause 61.12(5)(4), but was not part of the agreement forwarded to the 61.13 commissioner under this paragraph. 61.14 (c) A city may choose to issue bonds on its own behalf or 61.15 through a joint powers agreement or may use bonding authority 61.16 for mortgage credit certificates and may request an allocation 61.17 from the commissioner. If the total amount requested by all 61.18 applicants exceeds the amount available in the pool, the city 61.19 may not receive a greater allocation than the amount it would 61.20 have received under the agreement forwarded by the Minnesota 61.21 housing finance agency to the commissioner. No city may request 61.22 or receive an allocation from the commissioner until the 61.23 agreement under paragraph (b) has been forwarded to the 61.24 commissioner. On and after the first Monday in April and 61.25 through the last Monday in July, no city may receive an 61.26 allocation from the housing pool which has not first applied to 61.27 the Minnesota housing finance agency. The commissioner shall 61.28 allocate the requested amount to the city or cities subject to 61.29 the limitations under this paragraph. 61.30 (d) If a city issues mortgage bonds from an allocation 61.31 received under paragraph (c), the issuer must provide for the 61.32 recycling of funds into new loans. If the issuer is not able to 61.33 provide for recycling, the issuer must notify the commissioner 61.34 in writing of the reason that recycling was not possible and the 61.35 reason the issuer elected not to have the Minnesota housing 61.36 finance agency issue the bonds. "Recycling" means the use of 62.1 money generated from the repayment and prepayment of loans for 62.2 further eligible loans or for the redemption of bonds and the 62.3 issuance of current refunding bonds. 62.4 (e) The total amount of allocation for mortgage bonds or 62.5 mortgage credit certificates for one city is limited to the 62.6 lesser of (i) $4,000,000 or (ii) 20 percent of the total amount 62.7 available for allocation for mortgage bonds from the housing 62.8 pool on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in April. 62.9 (f) No city in an entitlement county may apply for or be 62.10 allocated authority to issue bonds or use mortgage credit 62.11 certificates from the housing pool. 62.12 (g) A city that does not use at least 50 percent of their 62.13 allotment by April 15 and at least $200,000 of their allotment 62.14 in the calendar year in which the allotment is made available 62.15 under paragraph (b), may not apply to the housing pool for a 62.16 single-family mortgage bond or mortgage credit certificate 62.17 program allocation or receive an allotment under the housing 62.18 pool agreement in the succeeding calendar year. 62.19 Sec. 94. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 518.551, 62.20 subdivision 5, is amended to read: 62.21 Subd. 5. [NOTICE TO PUBLIC AUTHORITY; GUIDELINES.] (a) The 62.22 petitioner shall notify the public authority of all proceedings 62.23 for dissolution, legal separation, determination of parentage or 62.24 for the custody of a child, if either party is receiving aid to 62.25 families with dependent children or applies for it subsequent to 62.26 the commencement of the proceeding. The notice must contain the 62.27 full names of the parties to the proceeding, their social 62.28 security account numbers, and their birth dates. After receipt 62.29 of the notice, the court shall set child support as provided in 62.30 this subdivision. The court may order either or both parents 62.31 owing a duty of support to a child of the marriage to pay an 62.32 amount reasonable or necessary for the child's support, without 62.33 regard to marital misconduct. The court shall approve a child 62.34 support stipulation of the parties if each party is represented 62.35 by independent counsel, unless the stipulation does not meet the 62.36 conditions of paragraph (i). In other cases the court shall 63.1 determine and order child support in a specific dollar amount in 63.2 accordance with the guidelines and the other factors set forth 63.3 in paragraph(b)(c) and any departure therefrom. The court may 63.4 also order the obligor to pay child support in the form of a 63.5 percentage share of the obligor's net bonuses, commissions, or 63.6 other forms of compensation, in addition to, or if the obligor 63.7 receives no base pay, in lieu of, an order for a specific dollar 63.8 amount. 63.9 (b) The court shall derive a specific dollar amount for 63.10 child support by multiplying the obligor's net income by the 63.11 percentage indicated by the following guidelines: 63.12 Net Income Per Number of Children 63.13 Month of Obligor 63.14 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 or 63.15 more 63.16 $550 and Below Order based on the ability of the 63.17 obligor to provide support 63.18 at these income levels, or at higher 63.19 levels, if the obligor has 63.20 the earning ability. 63.21 $551 - 600 16% 19% 22% 25% 28% 30% 32% 63.22 $601 - 650 17% 21% 24% 27% 29% 32% 34% 63.23 $651 - 700 18% 22% 25% 28% 31% 34% 36% 63.24 $701 - 750 19% 23% 27% 30% 33% 36% 38% 63.25 $751 - 800 20% 24% 28% 31% 35% 38% 40% 63.26 $801 - 850 21% 25% 29% 33% 36% 40% 42% 63.27 $851 - 900 22% 27% 31% 34% 38% 41% 44% 63.28 $901 - 950 23% 28% 32% 36% 40% 43% 46% 63.29 $951 - 1000 24% 29% 34% 38% 41% 45% 48% 63.30 $1001- 5000 25% 30% 35% 39% 43% 47% 50% 63.31 or the amount 63.32 in effect under 63.33 paragraph (k) 63.34 Guidelines for support for an obligor with a monthly income 63.35 in excess of the income limit currently in effect under 63.36 paragraph (k) shall be the same dollar amounts as provided for 64.1 in the guidelines for an obligor with a monthly income equal to 64.2 the limit in effect. 64.3 Net Income defined as: 64.4 64.5 Total monthly 64.6 income less *(i) Federal Income Tax 64.7 *(ii) State Income Tax 64.8 (iii) Social Security 64.9 Deductions 64.10 (iv) Reasonable 64.11 Pension Deductions 64.12 *Standard 64.13 Deductions apply- (v) Union Dues 64.14 use of tax tables (vi) Cost of Dependent Health 64.15 recommended Insurance Coverage 64.16 (vii) Cost of Individual or Group 64.17 Health/Hospitalization 64.18 Coverage or an 64.19 Amount for Actual 64.20 Medical Expenses 64.21 (viii) A Child Support or 64.22 Maintenance Order that is 64.23 Currently Being Paid. 64.24 "Net income" does not include: 64.25 (1) the income of the obligor's spouse, but does include 64.26 in-kind payments received by the obligor in the course of 64.27 employment, self-employment, or operation of a business if the 64.28 payments reduce the obligor's living expenses; or 64.29 (2) compensation received by a party for employment in 64.30 excess of a 40-hour work week, provided that: 64.31 (i) support is nonetheless ordered in an amount at least 64.32 equal to the guidelines amount based on income not excluded 64.33 under this clause; and 64.34 (ii) the party demonstrates, and the court finds, that: 64.35 (A) the excess employment began after the filing of the 64.36 petition for dissolution; 65.1 (B) the excess employment reflects an increase in the work 65.2 schedule or hours worked over that of the two years immediately 65.3 preceding the filing of the petition; 65.4 (C) the excess employment is voluntary and not a condition 65.5 of employment; 65.6 (D) the excess employment is in the nature of additional, 65.7 part-time or overtime employment compensable by the hour or 65.8 fraction of an hour; and 65.9 (E) the party's compensation structure has not been changed 65.10 for the purpose of affecting a support or maintenance obligation. 65.11 The court shall review the work-related and 65.12 education-related child care costs paid and shall allocate the 65.13 costs to each parent in proportion to each parent's net income, 65.14 as determined under this subdivision, after the transfer of 65.15 child support and spousal maintenance, unless the allocation 65.16 would be substantially unfair to either parent. There is a 65.17 presumption of substantial unfairness if after the sum total of 65.18 child support, spousal maintenance, and child care costs is 65.19 subtracted from the noncustodial parent's income, the income is 65.20 at or below 100 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. The 65.21 cost of child care for purposes of this paragraph is 75 percent 65.22 of the actual cost paid for child care, to reflect the 65.23 approximate value of state and federal tax credits available to 65.24 the custodial parent. The actual cost paid for child care is 65.25 the total amount received by the child care provider for the 65.26 child or children from the obligee or any public agency. The 65.27 amount allocated for child care expenses is considered child 65.28 support but is not subject to a cost-of-living adjustment under 65.29 section 518.641. The amount allocated for child care expenses 65.30 terminates when the child care costs end. 65.31 (c) In addition to the child support guidelines, the court 65.32 shall take into consideration the following factors in setting 65.33 or modifying child support or in determining whether to deviate 65.34 from the guidelines: 65.35 (1) all earnings, income, and resources of the parents, 65.36 including real and personal property, but excluding income from 66.1 excess employment of the obligor or obligee that meets the 66.2 criteria of paragraph (b), clause (2)(ii); 66.3 (2) the financial needs and resources, physical and 66.4 emotional condition, and educational needs of the child or 66.5 children to be supported; 66.6 (3) thestandardsstandard of living the child would have 66.7 enjoyed had the marriage not been dissolved, but recognizing 66.8 that the parents now have separate households; 66.9 (4) which parent receives the income taxation dependency 66.10 exemption and what financial benefit the parent receives from 66.11 it; 66.12 (5) the parents' debts as provided in paragraph (d); and 66.13 (6) the obligor's receipt of assistance under sections 66.14 256.72 to 256.87 or 256B.01 to 256B.40. 66.15 (d) In establishing or modifying a support obligation, the 66.16 court may consider debts owed to private creditors, but only if: 66.17 (1) the right to support has not been assigned under 66.18 section 256.74; 66.19 (2) the court determines that the debt was reasonably 66.20 incurred for necessary support of the child or parent or for the 66.21 necessary generation of income. If the debt was incurred for 66.22 the necessary generation of income, the court shall consider 66.23 only the amount of debt that is essential to the continuing 66.24 generation of income; and 66.25 (3) the party requesting a departure produces a sworn 66.26 schedule of the debts, with supporting documentation, showing 66.27 goods or services purchased, the recipient of them, the amount 66.28 of the original debt, the outstanding balance, the monthly 66.29 payment, and the number of months until the debt will be fully 66.30 paid. 66.31 (e) Any schedule prepared under paragraph (d), clause (3), 66.32 shall contain a statement that the debt will be fully paid after 66.33 the number of months shown in the schedule, barring emergencies 66.34 beyond the party's control. 66.35 (f) Any further departure below the guidelines that is 66.36 based on a consideration of debts owed to private creditors 67.1 shall not exceed 18 months in duration, after which the support 67.2 shall increase automatically to the level ordered by the court. 67.3 Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit one or 67.4 more step increases in support to reflect debt retirement during 67.5 the 18-month period. 67.6 (g) If payment of debt is ordered pursuant to this section, 67.7 the payment shall be ordered to be in the nature of child 67.8 support. 67.9 (h) Nothing shall preclude the court from receiving 67.10 evidence on the above factors to determine if the guidelines 67.11 should be exceeded or modified in a particular case. 67.12 (i) The guidelines in this subdivision are a rebuttable 67.13 presumption and shall be used in all cases when establishing or 67.14 modifying child support. If the court does not deviate from the 67.15 guidelines, the court shall make written findings concerning the 67.16 amount of the obligor's income used as the basis for the 67.17 guidelines calculation and any other significant evidentiary 67.18 factors affecting the determination of child support. If the 67.19 court deviates from the guidelines, the court shall make written 67.20 findings giving the amount of support calculated under the 67.21 guidelines, the reasons for the deviation, and shall 67.22 specifically address the criteria in paragraph(b)(c) and how 67.23 the deviation serves the best interest of the child. The 67.24 provisions of this paragraph apply whether or not the parties 67.25 are each represented by independent counsel and have entered 67.26 into a written agreement. The court shall review stipulations 67.27 presented to it for conformity to the guidelines and the court 67.28 is not required to conduct a hearing, but the parties shall 67.29 provide the documentation of earnings required under subdivision 67.30 5b. 67.31 (j) If the child support payments are assigned to the 67.32 public agency under section 256.74, the court may not deviate 67.33 downward from the child support guidelines unless the court 67.34 specifically finds that the failure to deviate downward would 67.35 impose an extreme hardship on the obligor. 67.36 (k) The dollar amount of the income limit for application 68.1 of the guidelines must be adjusted on July 1 of every 68.2 even-numbered year to reflect cost-of-living changes. The 68.3 supreme court shall select the index for the adjustment from the 68.4 indices listed in section 518.641. The state court 68.5 administrator shall make the changes in the dollar amount 68.6 required by this paragraph available to courts and the public on 68.7 or before April 30 of the year in which the amount is to change. 68.8 Sec. 95.
