subdivision 3, is amended to read:
Subd. 3. [DESIGN.] The design of the seal is as described
in this subdivision.
(a) The seal is composed of two concentric borders. The
outside forms the border of the seal and the inside forms the
border for the illustrations within the seal. The area between
the two borders contains lettering.
(b) The seal is two inches in diameter. The outside border
has a radius of one inch and resembles the serrated edge of a
coin. The width of the border is 1/16 of an inch.
(c) The inside border has a radius of three-fourths of an
inch and is composed of a series of closely spaced dots
measuring 1/32 of an inch in diameter.
(d) Within the area between the borders "The Great Seal of
the State of Minnesota." is printed in capital letters. Under
that is the date "1858." with two dagger symbols separating the
date and the letters. The lettering is 14 point century bold.
(e) In the area within the inside border is the portrayal
of an 1858 Minnesota scene made up of various illustrations that
serve to depict a settler plowing the ground near the falls of
St. Anthony while he watches an Indian on horseback riding in
the distance.
(f) For the purposes of description, when the area within
the inside border is divided into quadrants, the following
illustrations should be clearly visible in the area described.
(1) In the upper parts of quadrants one and two, the
inscription "L'Etoile du Nord" is found on the likeness of a
scroll whose length is equal to twice the length of the
inscription, but whose ends are twice folded underneath and
serve to enhance the inscription. The lettering is seven point
century bold.
(2) In quadrant two is found a likeness of a rising sun
whose ambient rays form a background for a male Indian in
loincloth and plume riding on horseback at a gallop. The Indian
is sitting erect and is holding a spear in his left hand at an
upward 60-degree angle to himself and is looking toward the
settler in quadrant four.
(3) In quadrant one, three pine trees form a background for
a picturesque resemblance of St. Anthony Falls in 1858.
(4) In quadrants three and four, cultivated ground is found
across the lower half of the seal, which provides a background
for the scenes in quadrants three and four.
(5) In quadrant three, a tree stump is found with an ax
embedded in the stump and a period muzzle loader resting on it.
A powder flask is hanging towards the end of the barrel.
(6) In quadrant four, a white barefoot male pioneer wearing
clothing and a hat of that period is plowing the earth, using an
animal-drawn implement from that period. The animal is not
visible. The torso of the man continues into quadrant two, and
he has his legs spread apart to simulate movement. He is
looking at the Indian.

subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. It is hereby found and declared that the
development and promotion of the tourist industry is important
to the economic welfare of the state. It is further found that
the control and regulation of outdoor advertising and the
consequential removal of certain advertising devices has
adversely affected many resorts through though such regulation
and control of outdoor advertising is in the general interest of
the people and is necessary to conserve the natural beauty of
areas adjacent to highways and roads of the state. The
legislature finds that in order to alleviate hardships on the
tourist industry caused by limitations imposed on the use of
outdoor advertising along certain local highways and roads and
to also conserve the natural beauty of areas adjacent to such
local highways and roads, it is necessary that devices,
directional in nature, be erected on certain local highways and
roads as hereinafter provided for the purpose of guiding
tourists and other travelers to their destination, and that such
directional devices be standardized and the design therefor and
distribution thereof be controlled by the department of
transportation with the counties participating therein.

written portion of the examination prescribed by the
commissioner. The holder of this instruction permit who has the
permit in possession may operate a motorized bicycle within one
mile of the holder's residence for the purpose of practicing to
take the operator portion of the examination prescribed by the
commissioner.
Sec. 20. Minnesota Statutes 1986, section 246.51,

require redetermine, what part of the cost of care, if any, the
patient is able to pay. If the patient is unable to pay the
full cost of care the commissioner shall make a determination as
to the ability of the relatives to pay. The patient or
relatives or both shall provide the commissioner documents and
proofs necessary to determine their ability to pay. Failure to
provide the commissioner with sufficient information to
determine ability to pay may make the patient or relatives, or
both, liable for the full cost of care until the time when
sufficient information is provided. No parent shall be liable
for the cost of care given a patient at a regional treatment
center after the patient has reached the age of 18 years. The

directors of the national banking association and in addition
thereto there shall be filed with the application a copy of the
plan of conversion and a certificate signed by the president and

trust shall remain unimpaired and the state bank into which it
shall have been converted shall succeed to these relations,
obligations, trusts and liabilities and shall execute and
perform all such trusts in the same manner as though it had
itself assumed the relation or trust or incurred the obligation
or liability and its liabilities and obligations to creditors
existing for any cause shall not be impaired by the conversion,
nor shall any obligation or liability of any stockholder of the
national banking association be affected by such conversion, but
these obligations and liabilities shall continue as fully and to
the same effect as existed before the conversion. The state
bank shall become without further act or deed the successor of
the national banking association in any and all fiduciary
capacities in which the national banking association may be
acting at the time of the conversion and shall be liable to all
beneficiaries as fully as if the national banking association
had continued its existence as such. If the national banking
association shall be nominated or appointed or shall have been
nominated or appointed as executor, guardian, administrator,
agent or trustee, or in any other trust relation or fiduciary
capacity in any will, trust agreement, trust conveyance or any
other conveyance, order or judgment of any court or any other
instrument prior to the conversion, even though the will or
other instrument shall not become operative or effective until

responsibilities so provided to devolve upon, vest in, or inure

On or before September 1 of 1976 and each subsequent year,
the auditor of each county in the area shall determine the
amount, if any, by which the assessed valuation determined in
the preceding year pursuant to section 473F.05, of
commercial-industrial property subject to taxation within each

taxation within that municipality. If a municipality is located

counties shall certify the data required by sections 473F.04 and
section 473F.05 to the county auditor who is responsible under

of such designation by using as a base the assessed valuation of
commercial-industrial property in that municipality in the year
following that in which such designation is terminated, rather
than the assessed valuation of such property in 1971. The
increase in assessed valuation determined by this section shall
be reduced by the amount of any decreases in the assessed
valuation of commercial-industrial property resulting from any
court decisions, court related stipulation agreements, or
abatements for a prior year, and only in the amount of such
decreases made during the 12 month period ending on June 30 of
the current assessment year, where such decreases, if originally
reflected in the determination of a prior year's valuation under
section 473F.05, would have resulted in a smaller contribution
from the municipality in that year. An adjustment for such
decreases shall be made only if the municipality made a
contribution in a prior year based on the higher valuation of
the commercial-industrial property.
Sec. 108. Minnesota Statutes 1986, section 473F.07,
subdivision 1, is amended to read:

article 11, section 11, is amended to read:
Subd. 8. [EXPLORATORY PRELIMINARY INSPECTIONS GRADE A
INSPECTION FEES.] Any A processor or marketing organization of
milk, milk products, sheep milk, or goat milk who wishes to
learn about and acquaint producers with market Grade A
requirements may make a request to the commissioner for
exploratory inspections and meetings for this purpose. Upon
receipt of such request, the commissioner at a convenient time
shall cause such exploratory inspections to be made and such
meetings to be held as are necessary to acquaint said processor
and producers with such requirements. If, after such
exploratory inspections are made and such meetings are held and
when in the processor's opinion the processor's field service
has brought producers into compliance with said requirements,
said processor wishes further inspection service, the processor
shall so milk or use the Grade A label must apply on a form
furnished by for Grade A inspection service from the
commissioner, stating the number of farms to be inspected. Such
applications shall be accompanied by a fee payable to the state
treasurer in an amount of not less than $50 and not more than
$300, which fee is to be charged for preliminary inspection
prior to continuous inspection, and assessments over $50 are to
be determined by charging $1 for each farm over 50, but shall
not exceed $300 if more than 300 farms are inspected; provided
that, if the plant and farms are accepted for continuous
inspection, this charge shall be made only once. If the
preliminary inspection discloses that the processor is eligible
for use of the Grade A label on products and before the
processor so labels said products, the processor shall apply for
continuous inspection on a form furnished by the commissioner
and shall hold a Grade A permit. Such application shall be
accompanied by a fee of not less than $100 nor more than $500
per plant and of not less than $15 nor more than $50 per farm,
said fee to be paid annually. A pasteurization plant requesting
Grade A inspection service must hold a Grade A permit and pay an
annual inspection fee of no more than $500. For Grade A farm
inspection service, the fee must be no more than $66 per farm,
paid annually by the processor or by the marketing organization
on behalf of its patrons. For a farm requiring a reinspection
in addition to the required biannual inspections, an additional
fee of no more than $33 per reinspection must be paid by the
processor or by the marketing organization on behalf of its
patrons. If the commissioner deems it necessary to more nearly
meet the cost of the service, the commissioner may annually
adjust the assessments within the limits set herein in this

Minnesota Statutes 1986, section 256D.37, subdivision 1, as
amended by 1987 H.F. No. 243, section 108, is amended to read:
Sec. 108. Minnesota Statutes 1986, section 256D.37,
subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. (a) For all individuals who apply to the
appropriate local agency for supplemental aid, the local agency
shall determine whether the individual meets the eligibility
criteria prescribed in subdivision 2. For each individual who
meets the relevant eligibility criteria prescribed in
subdivision 2, the local agency shall certify to the
commissioner the amount of supplemental aid to which the
individual is entitled in accordance with all of the standards
in effect December 31, 1973, for the appropriate categorical aid
program.
(b) When a recipient is an adult with mental illness in a
facility licensed under Minnesota Rules, parts 9520.0500 to
9520.0690, a resident of a state hospital or a dwelling with a
negotiated rate, the recipient is not eligible for a shelter
standard, a basic needs standard, or for special needs
payments. The state standard of assistance for those recipients
is the clothing and personal needs allowance for medical
assistance recipients under section 256B.35. Minnesota
supplemental aid may be paid to negotiated rate facilities at
the rates in effect on March 1, 1985, for services provided
under the supplemental aid program to residents of the facility,
up to the maximum negotiated rate specified in this section.
The rate for room and board for a licensed facility must not
exceed $800. Minnesota supplemental aid may not be used to pay
a negotiated rate for adults with mental illness in a
facility The maximum negotiated rate does not apply to a
facility that, on August 1, 1984, was licensed by the
commissioner of health only as a boarding care home, certified
by the commissioner of health as an intermediate care facility,
and licensed by the commissioner of human services under
Minnesota Rules, parts 9520.0500 to 9520.0690 or a facility
that, on August 1, 1984, was licensed by the commissioner of
human services under Minnesota Rules, parts 9525.0520 to
9525.0660, but funded as a supplemental aid negotiated rate
facility under this chapter. The following facilities are
exempt from the limit on negotiated rates and must be reimbursed
for documented actual costs, until an alternative reimbursement
system covering services excluding room and board maintenance
services is developed by the commissioner:
(1) a facility that only provides services to persons with
mental retardation; and
(2) a facility not certified to participate in the medical
assistance program that is licensed as a boarding care facility
as of March 1, 1985, and does not receive supplemental program
funding under Minnesota Rules, parts 9535.2000 to 9535.3000 or
parts 9553.0010 to 9553.0080. Beginning July 1, 1987, the
facilities under clause (1) are subject to applicable
supplemental aid limits, and must meet all applicable licensing
and reimbursement requirements for programs for persons with
mental retardation. The negotiated rates may be paid for
persons who are placed by the local agency or who elect to
reside in a room and board facility or a licensed facility for
the purpose of receiving physical, mental health, or
rehabilitative care, provided the local agency agrees that this
care is needed by the person. When Minnesota supplemental aid
is used to pay a negotiated rate, the rate payable to the
facility must not exceed the rate paid by an individual not
receiving Minnesota supplemental aid. To receive payment for a
negotiated rate, the dwelling must comply with applicable laws
and rules establishing standards necessary for health, safety,
and licensure. The negotiated rate must be adjusted by the
annual percentage change in the consumer price index (CPI-U U.S.
city average), as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
between the previous two Septembers, new series index (1967-100)
or 2.5 percent, whichever is less. In computing the amount of
supplemental aid under this section, the local agency shall
deduct from the gross amount of the individual's determined
needs all income, subject to the criteria for income disregards
in effect December 31, 1973, for the appropriate categorical aid
program, except that the earned income disregard for disabled
persons who are not residents of long-term care facilities must
be the same as the earned income disregard available to disabled
persons in the supplemental security income program and all
actual work expenses must be deducted when determining the
amount of income for the individual. From the first of the
month in which an effective application is filed, the state and
the county shall share responsibility for the payment of the
supplemental aid to which the individual is entitled under this
section as provided in section 256D.36.

section 1, is amended to read:
Subd. 8. [LIMITED EQUITY COOPERATIVE APARTMENTS.] For the
purposes of this subdivision, the terms defined in this
subdivision have the meanings given them.
A "limited equity cooperative" is a corporation organized
under chapter 308, which has as its primary purpose the
provision of housing and related services to its members, whose
income must not exceed 90 percent of the median St.
Paul-Minneapolis metropolitan area income as determined by the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development at the
time they purchase their membership, and which meets one of the
following criteria with respect to the income of its members:
(1) a minimum of 75 percent of members must have incomes at or
less than 90 percent of area median income, (2) a minimum of 40
percent of members must have incomes at or less than 60 percent
of area median income, or (3) a minimum of 20 percent of members
must have incomes at or less than 50 percent of area median
income. For purposes of this clause, "member income" shall mean
the income of a member existing at the time the member acquires
cooperative membership, and median income shall mean the St.
Paul-Minneapolis metropolitan area median income as determined
by the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development. It must also meet the following requirements:
(a) The articles of incorporation set the sale price of
occupancy entitling cooperative shares or memberships at no more
than a transfer value determined as provided in the articles.
That value may not exceed the sum of the following:
(1) the consideration paid for the membership or shares by
the first occupant of the unit, as shown in the records of the
corporation;
(2) the fair market value, as shown in the records of the
corporation, of any improvements to the real property that were
installed at the sole expense of the member with the prior
approval of the board of directors;
(3) accumulated interest, or an inflation allowance not to
exceed the greater of a ten percent annual noncompounded
increase on the consideration paid for the membership or share
by the first occupant of the unit, or the amount that would have
been paid on that consideration if interest had been paid on it
at the rate of the percentage increase in the revised consumer
price index for all urban consumers for the Minneapolis-St. Paul
metropolitan area prepared by the United States Department of
Labor, provided that the amount determined pursuant to this
clause may not exceed $500 for each year or fraction of a year
the membership or share was owned; plus
(4) real property capital contributions shown in the
records of the corporation to have been paid by the transferor
member and previous holders of the same membership, or of
separate memberships that had entitled occupancy to the unit of
the member involved. These contributions include contributions
to a corporate reserve account the use of which is restricted to
real property improvements or acquisitions, contributions to the
corporation which are used for real property improvements or
acquisitions, and the amount of principal amortized by the
corporation on its indebtedness due to the financing of real
property acquisition or improvement or the averaging of
principal paid by the corporation over the term of its real
property-related indebtedness.
(b) The articles of incorporation require that the board of
directors limit the purchase price of stock or membership
interests for new member-occupants or resident shareholders to
an amount which does not exceed the transfer value for the
membership or stock as defined in clause (a).
(c) The articles of incorporation require that the total
distribution out of capital to a member shall not exceed that
transfer value.
(d) The articles of incorporation require that upon
liquidation of the corporation any assets remaining after
retirement of corporate debts and distribution to members will
be conveyed to a charitable organization described in section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
through December 31, 1986, or a public agency.
A "limited equity cooperative apartment" is a dwelling unit
owned by a limited equity cooperative.
"Occupancy entitling cooperative share or membership" is
the ownership interest in a cooperative organization which
entitles the holder to an exclusive right to occupy a dwelling
unit owned or leased by the cooperative.
For purposes of taxation, the assessor shall value a unit
owned by a limited equity cooperative at the lesser of its
market value or the value determined by capitalizing the net
operating income of a comparable apartment operated on a rental
basis at the capitalization rate used in valuing comparable
buildings that are not limited equity cooperatives. If a
cooperative fails to operate in accordance with the provisions
of clauses (a) to (d), the property shall be subject to
additional property taxes in the amount of the difference
between the taxes determined in accordance with this subdivision
for the last ten years that the property had been assessed
pursuant to this subdivision and the amount that would have been
paid if the provisions of this subdivision had not applied to
it. The additional taxes, plus interest at the rate specified
in section 549.09, shall be extended against the property on the
tax list for the current year.
