 38.17  warrants then outstanding against the general fund plus (2) 
 38.18  those that must be drawn on the fund before the same date in the 
 38.19  following month, in payment of claims due for expenditure under 
 38.20  all appropriations and allotments, will exceed the amount of 
 38.21  cash or cash equivalent assets held in the general fund on the

 38.24  preceding fiscal year, will exceed the amount of cash or cash 
 38.25  equivalent assets held in the general fund, excluding the

 38.27     Sec. 33.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 16A.695, 
 38.28  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 38.29     Subd. 3.  [SALE OF PROPERTY.] A public officer or agency 
 38.30  shall not sell any state bond financed property unless the 
 38.31  public officer or agency determines by official action that the 
 38.32  property is no longer usable or needed by the public officer or 
 38.33  agency to carry out the governmental program for which it was 
 38.34  acquired or constructed, the sale is made as authorized by law, 
 38.35  the sale is made for fair market value, and the sale is approved 
 38.36  by the commissioner.  If any state bonds issued to purchase or 
 39.1   better the state bond financed property that is sold remain 
 39.2   outstanding on the date of sale, the net proceeds of sale must 
 39.3   be applied as follows:

 39.5   bettered solely with state bond proceeds, the net proceeds of 
 39.6   sale must be paid to the commissioner, deposited in the state 
 39.7   bond fund, and used to pay or redeem or defease the outstanding 
 39.8   state bonds in accordance with the commissioner's order 
 39.9   authorizing their issuance, and the proceeds are appropriated 
 39.10  for this purpose; or 
 39.11     (2) if the state bond financed property was acquired or 
 39.12  bettered partly with state bond proceeds and partly with other 
 39.13  money, the net proceeds of sale must be used:  first, to pay to 
 39.14  the state the amount of state bond proceeds used to acquire or 
 39.15  better the property; second, to pay in full any outstanding 
 39.16  public or private debt incurred to acquire or better the 
 39.17  property; and third, any excess over the amount needed for those 
 39.18  purposes must be divided in proportion to the shares contributed 
 39.19  to the acquisition or betterment of the property and paid to the 
 39.20  interested public and private entities, other than any private 
 39.21  lender already paid in full, and the proceeds are appropriated 
 39.22  for this purpose.  In calculating the share contributed by each 
 39.23  entity, the amount to be attributed to the owner of the property 
 39.24  must be the fair market value of property that was bettered by 
 39.25  state bond proceeds at the time the betterment began. 
 39.26     When all of the net proceeds of sale have been applied as 
 39.27  provided in this subdivision, this section no longer applies to 
 39.28  the property.
