 The appropriations in this section are 
from the infrastructure development 
fund.  
Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes,

college debt redemption fund to pay the 
district's share of construction 
projects authorized in this section. 
 The state board shall report to the 
house appropriations and senate finance 
committees by January 15 of each year 
on the status of the capital 
improvement projects in this section. 
     Subd. 2.  Statewide 
During the biennium, as part of the 
planning process for a new or remodeled

the feasibility of locating child care 
facilities in the building.  The board 
shall report on its consideration 
process and its decision for each 
project proposed in future bonding 
requests.  
 Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, 
section 136C.44, during the biennium 
the state board of vocational technical 
education must not make grants to 
school districts but shall directly 
supervise and control the preparation 
of plans and specifications to 
construct, alter, or enlarge the 
technical college buildings, 
structures, and improvements provided 
for in this section.  The state board 
of vocational technical education may

the board has secured suitable plans 
and specifications, prepared by a 
competent architect or engineer.  The 
plans and specifications must be 
accompanied by a detailed statement of 
the cost, quality, and description of 
all material and labor required for the 
completion of the work.  No plan may be 
adopted, and no improvement made or 
building constructed, that contemplates 
the expenditure for its completion of 
more money than the appropriation for 
it, unless otherwise provided in this 
act.  
The state board of vocational technical

1990 H.F. No. 2200, article 11, section

 A district application may change 
priority or rank order when the 
conditions under which the state board 
of education approved the loan 
application or the voters approved 
borrowing the money change sufficiently 
to disqualify it for a capital loan, 
raise or lower its rank, or eliminate 
its status as top priority, according

 This appropriation is for the state's 
share of the cost of combined sewer 
overflow projects begun during fiscal 
years 1991 and 1992.  The allocation to 
a city for projects begun in fiscal

choice of the city, to cover the 
shortfall in federal funding of 
projects begun by the city during 
fiscal year 1990, but the legislature 
does not intend to appropriate any more 
money for projects begun in fiscal year 
1991 or 1992 because a city has chosen 
to use part of this appropriation for 
projects begun in fiscal year 1990. 
Notwithstanding any law to the 
contrary, the city of St. Paul shall 
use all revenues derived from its 
clawback funding of sewer financing

World Cup of Soccer and the 
commissioner of finance has determined 
that the sports commission has secured 
revenue from local and private sources 
that will be sufficient to retire the 
bonds sold to finance this 
appropriation.  The bonds sold for this 
appropriation shall be revenue bonds.  
The legislature intends not to 
appropriate money from the general fund 
to pay for these bonds.

     Sec. 29.  DEBT SERVICE 
 The commissioner of finance shall 
schedule the sale of state general 
obligation bonds so that, during the 
biennium ending June 30, 1991, no more 
than $369,000,000 will need to be 
transferred from the general fund to 
the state bond fund to pay principal 
and interest due and to become due on 
outstanding state general obligation 
bonds, other than general obligation 
special tax bonds or infrastructure 
development bonds.  Before each sale of

    During the biennium, in its planning for new program 
offerings at a particular institution, each public 
post-secondary education governing board shall consider the 
availability of physical space and the adequacy of facilities at 
that institution.  If the board determines that new space or 
facilities are required, it shall examine the feasibility of 
developing the program at a different institution within its 
system or in cooperation with other systems. 
    Sec. 32.  [BOND SALE REDUCTION.] 
    The bond sale authorization in Laws 1979, chapter 300, 
section 4, subdivision 3 for construction of local dams is 
reduced by $129,000. 
    Sec. 33.  Minnesota Statutes 1989 Supplement, section 
16A.631, is amended to read: 
    16A.631 [BOND PROCEEDS FUND.] 
    The bond proceeds fund is established to receive state bond 
the proceeds appropriated to agencies to acquire and to better 
public land and buildings and other public improvements of a 
capital nature, as authorized by of state bonds issued under the 
constitution, article XI, section 5, clause (a).  The 
commissioner shall establish in the fund accounts having titles 
that reflect the state purpose or program for which the bond 
proceeds are appropriated and authorized to be expended. 
    Sec. 34.  [16A.632] [CAPITAL ASSET PRESERVATION AND 
REPLACEMENT ACCOUNT.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [ESTABLISHMENT.] A capital asset 
preservation and replacement account is established in the state 
bond proceeds fund established by section 16A.631, separate from 
any other accounts maintained in that fund, to receive state 
bond proceeds appropriated to the commissioner of administration 
to be expended for the purpose and in accordance with the 
standards and criteria set forth in this section.  
    Subd. 2.  [STANDARDS.] Article XI, section 5, clause (a), 
of the constitution states general obligation bonds may be 
issued to finance only the acquisition or betterment of state 
land, buildings, and improvements of a capital nature.  In 
interpreting this and applying it to the purposes of the program 
contemplated in this section, the following standards are 
adopted for the disbursement of money from the capital asset 
preservation and replacement account:  
    (a) No new land, buildings, or major new improvements will 
be acquired.  These projects, including all capital expenditures 
required to permit their effective use for the intended purpose 
on completion, will be estimated and provided for individually 
through a direct appropriation for each project.  
    (b) An expenditure will be made from the account only when 
it is a capital expenditure on a capital asset previously owned 
by the state, within the meaning of accepted accounting 
principles as applied to public expenditures.  The commissioner 
of administration will consult with the commissioner of finance 
to the extent necessary to ensure this and will furnish the 
commissioner of finance a list of projects to be financed from 
the account in order of their priority.  The commissioner shall 
also furnish each revision of the list.  The legislature assumes 
that many provisions for preservation and replacement of 
portions of existing capital assets will constitute betterments 
and capital improvements within the meaning of the constitution 
and capital expenditures under correct accounting principles, 
and will be financed more efficiently and economically under the 
program than by direct appropriations for specific projects.  
However, the purpose of the program is to accumulate data 
showing how additional costs may be saved by appropriating money 
from the general fund for preservation measures, the necessity 
of which is predictable over short periods.  
    (c) The commissioner of administration will furnish 
instructions to agencies to apply for funding of capital 
expenditures for preservation and replacement from the account, 
will review applications, will make initial allocations among 
types of eligible projects enumerated below, will determine 
priorities, and will allocate money in priority order until the 
available appropriation has been committed.  Under section 
14.02, subdivision 4, these instructions and allocations do not 
constitute rules and the other provisions of chapter 14 do not 
apply to them.  
    (d) Categories of projects considered likely to be most 
needed and appropriate for financing are the following:  
    (1) unanticipated emergencies of all kinds, for which a 
relatively small amount should be initially reserved, replaced 
from money allocated to low-priority projects, if possible, as 
emergencies occur, and used for stabilization rather than 
replacement if the cost would exhaust the account and should be 
specially appropriated; 
    (2) projects to remove life safety hazards, like 
replacement of mechanical systems, building code violations, or 
structural defects, at costs not large enough to require major 
capital requests to the legislature; 
    (3) elimination or containment of hazardous substances like 
asbestos or PCBs; and 
    (4) moderate cost replacement and repair of roofs, windows, 
tuckpointing, and structural members necessary to preserve the 
exterior and interior of existing buildings.  
    Subd. 3.  [CRITERIA FOR PRIORITY.] Criteria can be stated 
only in general terms, as it is the purpose of the program to 
improve the allocation of limited amounts of borrowed money by 
enlisting the engineering expertise of the department of 
administration and the closer knowledge and experience of this 
and all other agencies in determining relative needs as they 
develop.  The following criteria must be considered:  
    (a) Urgency in ensuring the safety of use of existing 
buildings is the first criterion to be applied.  It will require 
judgments, for example, about the useful life of electric and 
mechanical systems and roofs, in relation to the remaining 
useful life of each building, and about the presence of 
hazardous substances and structural defects in the light of 
present building regulations.  
    (b) Economy is also to be determined and may even reinforce 
a decision based on the first criterion, if the project would 
forestall a larger future capital expenditure or would reduce 
operating expense.  
    (c) Absolute cost must also be considered.  It may be too 
high to warrant funding except by an additional appropriation, 
or so high as to warrant a recommendation to abandon or to 
replace the building.  It may be so low as to permit payment out 
of an agency's operating budget. 
    Sec. 35.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 16A.641, 
subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 6.  [TAXABILITY; CERTIFICATION.] The commissioner 
shall ascertain from state records and certify to the holders of 
each series of state bonds, subject to the approval of the 
attorney general, that all conditions exist and all actions have 
been taken that are needed to make the bonds valid and binding 
general obligations of the state in accordance with their terms. 
The commissioner shall also certify for the state the facts, 
estimates, and circumstances on the date of issue that lead the 
commissioner reasonably to expect that the proceeds will not be 
used in a way that would make the bonds arbitrage bonds under 
section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and related federal 
regulations. 
    The bonds may be issued with or without regard to whether 
the interest to be paid on them is includable in gross income 
for federal tax purposes.  If it is intended that the interest 
on the bonds be exempt from federal income taxes, the 
commissioner shall certify for the state on the date of issue 
the facts, estimates, and circumstances that lead the 
commissioner reasonably to expect that the proceeds of the bonds 
and the projects financed by them will not be used in a way that 
would cause the interest on the bonds to be subject to federal 
income taxes.  The commissioner may covenant with the holders of 
the bonds that the state will comply with the provisions of the 
United States Internal Revenue Code then or later enacted that 
apply or may apply to the bonds and that establish conditions 
under which the interest to be paid on the bonds will not be 
subject to federal income taxes.  The commissioner and all other 
state officers shall act or refrain from acting as necessary to 
comply with the covenants.  A sum sufficient to meet the cost of 
compliance is annually appropriated to the commissioner from the 
general fund. 
    Sec. 36.  Minnesota Statutes 1989 Supplement, section 
16A.641, subdivision 7, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 7.  [CREDIT OF PROCEEDS.] (a) Proceeds of bonds 
issued under each law must be credited by the commissioner to a 
special fund, as provided in this subdivision.  
    (b) Accrued interest and any premium received on sale of 
the bonds must be credited to the state bond fund created by the 
constitution, article XI, section 7.  
    (c) Except as otherwise provided by law, proceeds of 
state building bonds issued under the constitution, article XI, 
section 5, clause (a), must be credited to the bond proceeds 
fund under established by section 16A.631.  
    (d) Proceeds of state highway bonds must be credited to the 
trunk highway fund under the constitution, article XIV, section 
6.  
    (e) Proceeds of bonds issued for programs of grants or 
loans to political subdivisions must be credited to special 
accounts in the bond proceeds fund or to special funds 
established by laws stating the purposes of the grants or loans, 
and the standards and criteria under which an executive agency 
is authorized to make them.  
    (f) Proceeds of refunding bonds must be credited to the 
state bond fund as provided in section 16A.66, subdivision 1.  
    (g) Proceeds of other bonds must be credited as provided in 
the law authorizing their issuance.  
    Sec. 37.  [16A.662] [INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT BONDS.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT FUND.] The 
infrastructure development fund is created as an account in the 
state treasury.  The commissioner of finance shall credit to the 
fund income from the sources provided by law.  The commissioner 
of finance shall from time to time certify to the state board of 
investment the assets of the fund not currently needed.  The 
amount certified must be invested by the state board of 
investment subject to section 11A.24.  Investment income and 
investment losses attributable to investment of fund assets must 
be credited to or borne by the fund. 
    Subd. 2.  [BONDS AUTHORIZED.] When authorized by law 
enacted in accordance with the constitution, article XI, 
sections 5 and 7, the commissioner may by order sell and issue 
infrastructure development bonds of the state evidencing public 
debt incurred for any purpose stated in the law.  The bonds are 
general obligations of the state, and the full faith and credit 
of the state are pledged for their payment. 
    Subd. 3.  [MANNER OF ISSUANCE; MATURITIES.] The bonds must 
be issued and sold in accordance with section 16A.641.  Sections 
16A.672 and 16A.675 apply to the bonds. 
    Subd. 4.  [ESTABLISHMENT OF DEBT SERVICE ACCOUNT; 
APPROPRIATION OF DEBT SERVICE ACCOUNT MONEY.] There is 
established within the state bond fund a separate and special 
account designated as the infrastructure development bond debt 
service account.  There must be transferred to this debt service 
account in each fiscal year from money in the infrastructure 
development fund, other than bond proceeds and interest earned 
on bond proceeds, an amount sufficient to increase the balance 
on hand in the debt service account on each December 1 to an 
amount equal to the full amount of principal and interest to 
come due on all outstanding infrastructure development bonds to 
and including the second following July 1.  The amount necessary 
to make the transfer is appropriated from the infrastructure 
development fund.  The money on hand in the debt service account 
must be used solely for the payment of the principal of, and 
interest on, the bonds, and is appropriated for this purpose.  
This appropriation does not cancel as long as any of the bonds 
remain outstanding. 
    Subd. 5.  [ASSESSMENT TO HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMS.] (a) In 
order to reduce the amount otherwise required to be transferred 
under subdivision 4, the commissioner of finance shall assess 
each higher education system for one-third the amount that would 
otherwise need to be transferred with respect to infrastructure 
development bonds sold to finance capital improvement projects 
at institutions under the control of the system; provided that, 
to the extent that the amount to be transferred is for payment 
of principal and interest on bonds sold to finance life safety 
improvements, the commissioner must not assess the higher 
education systems for the transfer. 
    (b) After each sale of infrastructure development bonds, 
the commissioner of finance shall notify the state board for 
vocational technical education, the state board for community 
colleges, the state university board, and the regents of the 
University of Minnesota of the amounts for which each system is 
responsible for each year for the life of the bonds.  The 
amounts payable each year are reduced by one-third of the net 
income from investment of infrastructure development bond 
proceeds that must be allocated among the systems in proportion 
to the amount of principal and interest otherwise required to be 
paid by each.  Each higher education system shall pay its annual 
share of debt service payments to the commissioner of finance by 
December 1 each year.  If a higher education system fails to 
make a payment when due, the commissioner of finance shall 
reduce allotments for appropriations from the general fund 
otherwise payable to the system to cover the amount of the 
missed debt service payment.  The commissioner of finance shall 
credit the payments received from the higher education systems 
to the infrastructure development bond debt service account in 
the state bond fund each December 1 before the transfer is made 
under subdivision 4. 
    Subd. 6.  [APPROPRIATION FROM GENERAL FUND.] There is 
annually appropriated from the general fund for transfer to the 
infrastructure development bond debt service account the amount 
that, added to the amount in the infrastructure development bond 
debt service account on December 1 each year, after giving 
effect to subdivisions 4 and 5, is equal to the full amount of 
principal and interest to come due on all bonds to and including 
July 1 in the second ensuing year. 
    Subd. 7.  [CONSTITUTIONAL TAX LEVY.] Under the 
constitution, article XI, section 7, the state auditor must levy 
each year on all taxable property within the state a tax 
sufficient, with the amount then on hand in the infrastructure 
development bond debt service account, to pay all principal and 
interest on the bonds due and to become due to and including 
July 1 in the second ensuing year.  The tax is not subject to 
limit as to rate or amount.  However, the amount of money 
appropriated from other sources as provided in subdivisions 4, 
5, and 6, and actually received and on hand before the levy in 
any year, reduces the amount of the tax otherwise required to be 
levied.  The proceeds of the tax must be credited to the 
infrastructure development bond debt service account. 
    Subd. 8.  [APPLICATION AND APPROPRIATION OF PROCEEDS.] The 
proceeds of the bonds must be deposited and spent as provided in 
this subdivision and are appropriated for those purposes.  Any 
accrued interest and any premium received on the sale of the 
bonds must be credited to the infrastructure development bond 
debt service account.  Except as otherwise required by law, the 
balance of the bond proceeds shall be credited to the 
infrastructure development fund and spent for the purposes 
specified in the law authorizing the issuance of the bonds.  So 
much of the proceeds as is necessary must be used to pay costs 
incurred in issuing and selling the bonds. 
    Sec. 38.  [TUITION NOT INCREASED.] 
   Tuition must not be increased to meet each higher education 
system's annual share of debt service payments.  Existing 
internal resources must be used to meet each system's share as 
follows:  (i) existing instructional funds must be used for 
capital improvement projects for instructional purposes, and 
(ii) existing noninstructional funds must be used for capital 
improvement projects for noninstructional purposes.  This 
section is repealed July 1, 1991. 
    Sec. 39.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 16A.672, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 9a.  [TAXABILITY; CERTIFICATION.] Certificates may be 
issued with or without regard to whether the interest to be paid 
on them is includable in gross income for federal tax purposes.  
If it is intended that the interest on the certificates be 
exempt from federal income taxes, the commissioner shall certify 
for the state on the date of issue the facts, estimates, and 
circumstances that lead the commissioner reasonably to expect 
that the proceeds of the certificates will not be used in a way 
that would cause the interest on the certificates to be subject 
to federal income taxes.  The commissioner may covenant with the 
holders of the certificates that the state will comply with the 
provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code then or 
later enacted that apply or may apply to the certificates and 
that establish conditions under which the interest to be paid on 
the certificates will not be subject to federal income taxes.  
The commissioner and all other state officers shall act or 
refrain from acting as necessary to comply with the covenants.  
A sum sufficient to meet the cost of compliance is annually 
appropriated to the commissioner from the general fund.

16A.69, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

administration agency to whom the appropriation was made shall 
first certify which accounts are involved to the commissioner.

capital budget format and instructions; and 
    (2) create and maintain an inventory of all major state 
buildings and office space owned or leased by the state, 
including a classification system on the condition and 
suitability of each major building. 
    (b) The commissioner of administration shall present to the 
legislature a supportable cost analysis whenever the 
commissioner proposes, for the purpose of providing state agency 
office space, to: 
    (1) enter into a lease for more than 50,000 square feet or 
for more than five years; 
    (2) enter into a lease-purchase agreement or an agreement 
to lease with option to buy property; 
    (3) purchase an existing building; or 
    (4) construct a new building. 
    Sec. 42.  Minnesota Statutes 1989 Supplement, section 
16B.335, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

may be made from up to 25 percent of the annual revenues 
deposited in the fund until fiscal year 1997 and loans may be 
made of up to five percent of the principal of the fund for 
water system improvements as provided by law.  This restriction 
does not prevent the sale of investments at less than the cost 
to the fund, however, all losses not offset by gains shall be 
repaid to the fund from the earnings of the fund.  The net 
earnings from the fund shall be appropriated in a manner 
prescribed by law for the public purpose of protection, 
conservation, preservation, and enhancement of the state's air, 
water, land, fish, wildlife, and other natural resources.  Not 
less than 40 percent of the net proceeds from any state-operated 
lottery must be credited to the fund until the year 2001. 
    Sec. 55.  [SUBMISSION TO VOTERS.] 
    The proposed amendment shall be submitted to the people at 
the 1990 general election.  The question submitted shall be:  
    "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to dedicate 
not less than 40 percent of the net proceeds from the state 
lottery to the Minnesota environment and natural resources trust 
fund for environment, natural resources, and wildlife purposes 
until the year 2001? 
                                   Yes .......
                                   No ........"

Laws 1982, chapter 617, section 25, Laws 1985, chapter 299, 
section 39, Laws 1985, First Special Session, chapter 16,

grants by the commissioner of transportation for construction 
and reconstruction of key bridges on the state transportation 
system and shall be allocated pursuant to subdivisions 2 and 3.  
The appropriation shall not lapse, but shall remain available

    Subd. 2.  $58,500,000 (a) $59,309,000 or so much thereof as 
is needed, is available for expenditure for grants to political 
subdivisions for construction and reconstruction of key bridges 
on highways, streets and roads under their jurisdiction.  The 
grants shall not exceed the following aggregate amounts:

jurisdictions.  Additional grants may be made in an aggregate 
amount not to exceed $16,500,000 to the political subdivisions 
to match federal-aid grants for construction and reconstruction 
of key bridges under their jurisdiction.  Appropriations made in 
subdivisions 1, 2, or and 3 may also be used for the following 
purposes: 
    (1) The costs of abandoning an existing bridge that is 
deficient and is in need of replacement, but where no 
replacement will be made.

$1,500,000 $691,000 is available for grants for preliminary 
engineering and environmental studies pursuant to section 3

    These appropriations shall be placed in the loan repayment 
account of the maximum effort school loan fund for the payment 
of the principal and interest on school loan bonds, as provided 
in Minnesota Statutes, section 124.46, to the extent that money 
in the fund is not sufficient to pay when due the full amount of 
principal and interest due on school loan bonds.  The purpose of 
these appropriations is to ensure that sufficient money is 
available in the fund to prevent a statewide property tax levy 
as would otherwise be required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, 
section 124.46, subdivision 3.  Notwithstanding the provisions 
of Minnesota Statutes, section 124.39, subdivision 5, any amount 
of the appropriation made in this section which is not needed to 
pay when due the principal and interest due on school loan bonds 
shall not be transferred to the debt service loan account of the 
maximum effort school loan fund but instead shall cancel and 
revert to the general fund.

good and benefit of any of the state universities under the 
jurisdiction of said board, and for that purpose may acquire 
property of any and every kind and description, whether real,

board's judgment be advantageous to the public interest so to 
do.  All such bonds shall be sold and issued by said board in 
the manner and upon the terms and conditions provided by chapter 
475, except as otherwise provided in this section.  Such bonds 
shall be payable solely from and secured by an irrevocable 
pledge of the revenues to be derived from the operation of any

remodeled, or equipped in whole or in part with the proceeds of 
such bonds and in addition thereto from such other income and 
revenues described in section 136.33, clause (a) as said board

fund to pay for these bonds.

the state of Minnesota and are not subject to section 16B.06.  
The full faith and credit and taxing powers of the state are not 
and may not be pledged for the payment of these bonds or other

commissioner pursuant to the authority granted in this section 
that the commissioner pledges to their payment.  The legislature 
intends not to appropriate money from the general fund to pay 
for these bonds or other obligations.  All these bonds or other 
obligations must contain the provisions of this subdivision or 
words to the same effect on their face.
