BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

new text begin The sums shown in the columns marked "Appropriations" are appropriated to the agencies
and for the purposes specified in this article. The appropriations are from the trunk highway
fund, or another named fund, and are available for the fiscal years indicated for each purpose.
Amounts for "Total Appropriation" and sums shown in the corresponding columns marked
"Appropriations by Fund" are summary only and do not have legal effect. Unless specified
otherwise, the amounts in the second year under "Appropriations by Fund" show the base
within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.11, subdivision 3, by fund. The
figures "2022" and "2023" used in this article mean that the appropriations listed under them
are available for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, or June 30, 2023, respectively. "The
first year" is fiscal year 2022. "The second year" is fiscal year 2023. "The biennium" is
fiscal years 2022 and 2023. "C.S.A.H." is the county state-aid highway fund. "M.S.A.S."
is the municipal state-aid street fund. "H.U.T.D." is the highway user tax distribution fund.

fund and must be spent according to
Minnesota Statutes, section 360.305,
subdivision 4.

16A.28, subdivision 6, this appropriation is
available for five years after appropriation. If
the appropriation for either year is insufficient,
the appropriation for the other year is available
for it.
new text end

new text begin If the commissioner of transportation
determines that a balance remains in the state
airports fund following the appropriations
made in this article and that the appropriations
made are insufficient for advancing airport
development and assistance projects, an
amount necessary to advance the projects, not
to exceed the balance in the state airports fund,
is appropriated in each year to the
commissioner and must be spent according to
Minnesota Statutes, section 360.305,
subdivision 4. Within two weeks of a
determination under this contingent
appropriation, the commissioner of
transportation must notify the commissioner
of management and budget and the chairs and
ranking minority members of the legislative
committees with jurisdiction over
transportation finance concerning funds
appropriated. Funds appropriated under this

when operating a vehicle between sunset and sunrise, and at any other time when visibility
is impaired by weather, smoke, fog, or other conditions; and
