both, if, after notice and hearing, the commissioner finds as to 
that licensee any one or more of the following conditions: 
    (1) any materially untrue statement in the license 
application; 
    (2) any cause for which issuance of the license could have 
been refused had it then existed and been known to the 
commissioner at the time of issuance; 
    (3) violation of, or noncompliance with, any insurance law 
or violation of any rule or order of the commissioner or of a 
commissioner of insurance of another state or jurisdiction; 
    (4) obtaining or attempting to obtain any license through 
misrepresentation or fraud;

trade practice, as defined in chapters 60A to 72A, or of fraud; 
     (9) that in the conduct of the agent's affairs under the 
license, the licensee has used fraudulent, coercive, or 
dishonest practices, or the licensee has been shown to be 
incompetent, untrustworthy, or financially irresponsible; 
     (10) that the agent's license has been suspended or revoked 
in any other state, province, district, territory, or foreign 
country; 
     (11) that the licensee has forged another's name to an 
application for insurance; or 
     (12) that the licensee has violated subdivision 6b. 
     (b) The commissioner may suspend or revoke an insurance 
agent's license issued to a partnership or corporation or impose 
a civil penalty not to exceed $5,000 upon that licensee, or 
both, if, after notice and hearing, the commissioner finds as to 
that licensee, or as to any partner, director, shareholder, 
officer, or employee of that licensee, any one or more of the 
conditions set forth in paragraph (a). 
      (c) A revocation of a license shall prohibit the licensee 
from making a new application for a license for at least one 
year.  Further, the commissioner may, as a condition of 
relicensure, require the applicant to file a reasonable bond for 
the protection of the citizens of this state, which bond shall 
be maintained by the licensee in full force for a period of five 
years immediately following issuance of the license, unless the 
commissioner at his or her discretion shall after two years 
permit the licensee to sooner terminate the maintenance filing 
of the bond. 
      (d) Whenever it appears to the commissioner that any person 
has engaged or is about to engage in any act or practice 
constituting a violation of chapter 60A or of any rule or order 
of the commissioner: 
      (1) The commissioner may issue and cause to be served upon 
the person an order requiring the person to cease and desist 
from the violation.  The order shall give reasonable notice of 
the time and place of hearing and shall state the reasons for 
the entry of the order.  A hearing shall be held not later than 
seven days after the issuance of the order unless the person 
requests a delay.  After the hearing and within 30 days of 
filing of any exceptions to the hearing examiner's report, the 
commissioner shall issue an order vacating the cease and desist 
order or making it permanent as the facts require.  All hearings 
shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of chapter 
14.  If the person to whom a cease and desist order is issued 
fails to appear at the hearing after being duly notified, the 
person shall be deemed in default, and the proceeding may be 
determined against the person upon consideration of the cease 
and desist order, the allegations of which may be deemed to be 
true; 
    (2) The commissioner may bring an action in the district 
court in the appropriate county to enjoin the acts or practices 
and to enforce compliance with chapter 60A and any rule or order 
of the commissioner; and 
    (3) In any proceeding under chapter 60A relating to 
injunction, the request for injunction may be brought on for 
hearing and disposition upon an order to show cause returnable 
upon not more than eight days notice to the defendant.  The case 
shall have precedence over other matters on the court calendar 
and shall not be continued without the consent of the state of 
Minnesota, except upon good cause shown to the court, and then 
only for a reasonable length of time as may be necessary in the 
opinion of the court to protect the rights of the defendant.  
    (e) The commissioner may, in the manner prescribed by 
chapter 14, impose a civil penalty not to exceed $5,000 upon a 
person whose licensed license has lapsed, or been suspended, 
revoked, or otherwise terminated, for engaging in conduct 
prohibited by paragraph (a) before, during, or after the period 
of his or her licensure.

AUTHORITY.] (a) If the commissioner makes a change in the 
definite location of a trunk highway as provided in this 
section, the portion of the existing road that is no longer a 
part of the trunk highway by reason of the change and all right, 
title, and interest of the state in the trunk highway shall 
revert to the road authority originally charged with the care of 
that trunk highway. 
     (b) If the portion had its origin as a trunk highway, it 
shall become a county highway unless it lies within the 
corporate limits of a city, in which case it shall become a 
street of the city.  When the existing road that is no longer a 
part of the trunk highway by reason of the change lies within a 
city of less than 5,000 population, the portion shall revert to 
the county if the portion meets the criteria for a county 
state-aid highway.  In municipalities of over 5,000 population 
that portion of the road may revert to the county if the 
appropriate authorities of the state, county and the various 
cities through which the route passes so agree.  Should any city 
not agree that the portion of the roadway that passes through it 
shall revert to county jurisdiction, the portion shall not so 
revert, although the other portions of the roadway in which 
agreement has been reached shall revert to county jurisdiction.  
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this chapter or other 
applicable laws and regulations, the commissioner may convey and 
quitclaim to a county, city, or other political subdivision all 
or part of the right of way of the existing road that is no 
longer a part of the trunk highway by reason of the 
commissioner's order or orders.  The conveyance shall be for 
highway purposes, and the future cost of maintenance, 
improvement, or reconstruction of the highway and the 
contribution of that highway to the public highway system is 
reasonable and proper consideration for the conveyance.  Extra 
Session Laws 1967, Chapter 11 This subdivision shall apply to 
all trunk highways reverted before the date of its enactment.

connection with the burial, its reasonable value shall be 
determined and approved by the commissioner, a compensation 
judge, or workers' compensation court of appeals, in cases upon 
appeal, before payment, after reasonable notice to interested 
parties as is required by the commissioner.  If the deceased 
leave leaves no dependents, no compensation is payable, except 
as provided by this chapter.

    Sec. 40.  Minnesota Statutes 1983 Supplement, section 
256B.431, subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 2.  [OPERATING COSTS.] (a) The commissioner shall 
establish, by rule, procedures for determining per diem 
reimbursement for operating costs based on actual resident days. 
The commissioner shall disallow any portion of the general and 
administration cost category, exclusive of fringe benefits and 
payroll taxes, that exceeds:  
    (1) 10 percent for nursing homes with more than 100 
certified beds in total, 
    (2) 12 percent for nursing homes with fewer than 101 but 
more than 40 certified beds in total, 
    (3) 14 percent for nursing homes with 40 or fewer certified 
beds in total, and 
    (4) 15 percent for convalescent and nursing care units 
attached to hospitals for the rate year beginning July 1, 1983, 
of the expenditures in all operating cost categories except 
fringe benefits, payroll taxes, and general and administration.  
    (b) For the rate year beginning July 1, 1983, and ending 
June 30, 1984, the prospective operating cost payment rate for 
each nursing home shall be determined by the commissioner based 
on the allowed historical operating costs as reported in the 
most recent cost report received by December 31, 1982 and 
audited by March 1, 1983, and may be subsequently adjusted to 
reflect the costs allowed.  To determine the allowed historical 
operating cost, the commissioner shall update the historical per 
diem shown in those cost reports to June 30, 1983, using a nine 
percent annual rate of increase after applying the general and 
administrative cost limitation described in paragraph (a).  The 
commissioner shall calculate the 60th percentile of actual 
allowable historical operating cost per diems for each group of 
nursing homes established under subdivision 1.  
     (1) Within each group, each nursing home whose actual 
allowable historical operating cost per diem as determined under 
this paragraph (b) is above the 60th percentile shall receive 
the 60th percentile increased by six percent plus 80 percent of 
the difference between its actual allowable operating cost per 
diem and the 60th percentile.  
     (2) Within each group, each nursing home whose actual 
allowable historical operating cost per diem is at or below the 
60th percentile shall receive that actual allowable historical 
operating cost per diem increased by six percent.  
     For the rate year beginning July 1, 1984, and ending June 
30, 1985, the prospective operating cost payment rate for each 
nursing home shall be determined by the commissioner based on 
actual allowable historical operating costs incurred during the 
reporting year preceding the rate year.  The commissioner shall 
analyze and evaluate each nursing home's report of allowable 
operating costs incurred by the nursing home during the 
reporting year immediately preceding the rate year.  The actual 
allowable historical operating costs, after the commissioner's 
analysis and evaluation, shall be added together and divided by 
the number of actual resident days to compute the actual 
allowable historical operating cost per diems.  The commissioner 
shall calculate the 60th percentile of actual allowable 
historical operating cost per diems for each group of nursing 
homes established under subdivision 1.  
     (3) Within each group, each nursing home whose actual 
allowable historical operating cost per diem is above the 60th 
percentile of payment rates shall receive the 60th percentile 
increased at an annual rate of six percent plus 75 percent of 
the difference between its actual allowable historical operating 
cost per diem and the 60th percentile.  
     (4) Within each group, each nursing home whose actual 
allowable historical operating cost per diem is at or below the 
60th percentile shall receive that actual allowable historical 
operating cost per diem increased at an annual rate of six 
percent.  
     (c) For subsequent years, the commissioner shall:  
     (1) Contract with an econometric firm with recognized 
expertise in and access to national economic change indices that 
can be applied to the appropriate cost categories when 
determining the operating cost payment rate;  
     (2) Establish the 60th percentile of actual allowable 
historical operating cost per diems for each group of nursing 
homes established under subdivision 1 based on cost reports of 
allowable operating costs in the previous reporting year.  The 
commissioner shall analyze and evaluate each nursing home's 
report of allowable operating costs incurred by the nursing home 
during the reporting year immediately preceding the rate year 
for which the payment rate becomes effective.  The allowable 
historical operating costs, after the commissioner's analysis 
and evaluation, shall be added together and divided by the 
actual number of resident days in order to compute the actual 
allowable historical operating cost per diem; 
     (3) Establish a composite index for each group by 
determining the weighted average of all economic change 
indicators applied to the operating cost categories in that 
group;  
     (4) Within each group, each nursing home shall receive the 
60th percentile increased by the composite index calculated in 
paragraph (c)(3).  The historical base for determining the 
prospective payment rate shall not exceed the operating cost 
payment rates during that reporting year.  
     The commissioner shall include the reported actual real 
estate tax liability of each proprietary nursing home as an 
operating cost of that nursing home.  The commissioner shall 
include a reported actual special assessment for each nursing 
home as an operating cost of that nursing home.  Total real 
estate tax liability and actual special assessments paid for 
each nursing home (i) shall be divided by actual resident days 
in order to compute the operating cost payment rate for this 
operating cost category, but (ii) shall not be used to compute 
the 60th percentile.  
     (d) The commissioner shall allow the nursing home to keep, 
as an efficiency incentive, the difference between the nursing 
home's operating cost payment rate established for that rate 
year and the actual historical operating costs incurred for that 
rate year, if the latter amount is smaller.  If a nursing home's 
actual historic operating costs are greater than the prospective 
payment rate for that rate year, there shall be no retroactive 
cost settle-up.  If an annual cost report or field audit 
indicates that the expenditures for direct resident care have 
been reduced in amounts large enough to indicate a possible 
detrimental effect on the quality of care, the commissioner 
shall notify the commissioner of health and the interagency 
board for quality assurance.  If a field audit reveals that 
unallowable expenditures have been included in the nursing 
home's historical operating costs, the commissioner shall 
disallow the expenditures and recover the entire overpayment. 
The commissioner shall establish, by rule, procedures for 
assessing an interest charge at the rate determined for unpaid 
taxes or penalties under section 270.75 on any outstanding 
balance resulting from an overpayment or underpayment.  
     (e) The commissioner may negotiate, with a nursing home 
that is eligible to receive medical assistance payments, a 
payment rate of up to 125 percent of the allowed payment rate to 
be paid for a period of up to three months for individuals who 
have been hospitalized for more than 100 days, who have 
extensive care needs based on nursing hours actually provided or 
mental or physical disability, or need for respite care for a 
specified and limited time period, and based on an assessment of 
the nursing home's resident mix as determined by the 
commissioner of health.  The payment rate negotiated and paid 
pursuant to this paragraph is specifically exempt from the 
definition of "rule" and the rule-making procedures required by 
chapter 14 and section 256B.502. 
     (f) Until groups are established according to mix of 
resident care needs, nursing homes licensed on June 1, 1983 by 
the commissioner to provide residential services for the 
physically handicapped and nursing homes that have an average 
length of stay of less than 180 days shall not be included in 
the calculation of the 60th percentile of any group.  For rate 
year beginning July 1, 1983 and July 1, 1984, each of these 
nursing homes shall receive their actual allowed historical 
operating cost per diem increased by six percent.  The 
commissioner shall also apply to these nursing homes the 
percentage limitation on the general and administrative cost 
category as provided in subdivision 2, paragraph (a).  
    Sec. 41.  Minnesota Statutes 1983 Supplement, section 
256B.431, subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  [PROPERTY-RELATED COSTS.] (a) For rate years 
beginning July 1, 1983 and July 1, 1984, property-related costs 
shall be reimbursed to each nursing home at the level recognized 
in the most recent cost report received by December 31, 1982 and 
audited by March 1, 1983, and may be subsequently adjusted to 
reflect the costs recognized in the final rate for that cost 
report, adjusted for rate limitations in effect before the 
effective date of this section.  Property-related costs 
include:  depreciation, interest, earnings or investment 
allowance, lease, or rental payments.  No adjustments shall be 
made as a result of sales or reorganizations of provider 
entities.  
    (b) Adjustments for the cost of repairs, replacements, 
renewals, betterments, or improvements to existing buildings, 
and building service equipment shall be allowed if:  
    (i) (1) The cost incurred is reasonable, necessary, and 
ordinary;  
    (ii) (2) The net cost is greater than $5,000.  "Net cost" 
means the actual cost, minus proceeds from insurance, salvage, 
or disposal;  
    (iii) (3) The nursing home's property-related costs per 
diem is equal to or less than the average property-related costs 
per diem within its group; and 
    (iv) (4) The adjustment is shown in depreciation schedules 
submitted to and approved by the commissioner.  
    (c) Annual per diem shall be computed by dividing total 
property-related costs by 96 percent of the nursing home's 
licensed capacity days for nursing homes with more than 60 beds 
and 94 percent of the nursing home's licensed capacity days for 
nursing homes with 60 or fewer beds.  For a nursing home whose 
residents' average length of stay is 180 days or less, the 
commissioner may waive the 96 or 94 percent factor and divide 
the nursing home's property-related costs by the actual resident 
days to compute the nursing home's annual property-related per 
diem.  The commissioner shall promulgate temporary and permanent 
rules to recapture excess depreciation upon sale of a nursing 
home.  
    (d) For rate years beginning on or after July 1, 1985, the 
commissioner, by permanent rule, shall reimburse nursing home 
providers that are vendors in the medical assistance program for 
the rental use of their property.  The "rent" is the amount of 
periodic payment which a renter might expect to pay for the 
right to the agreed use of the real estate and the depreciable 
equipment as it exists.  "Real estate" means land improvements, 
buildings, and attached fixtures used directly for resident 
care.  "Depreciable equipment" means the standard moveable 
resident care equipment and support service equipment generally 
used in long-term care facilities.  
    (e) In developing the method for determining payment rates

plan or system or policy of insurance providing for such death 
benefit, to assign such benefit, or to receive a cash

    Sec. 45.  Minnesota Statutes 1983 Supplement, section 
272.02, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

     (8) (a) Class 2 property of every household of the value of

from the total valuation of the property as equalized by the 
commissioner of revenue assessed to the household, and extend 
the levy of taxes upon the remainder only.  The term "household" 
as used in this section is defined to be a domestic 
establishment maintained either (1) by two or more persons 
living together within the same house or place of abode, 
subsisting in common and constituting a domestic or family 
relationship, or (2) by one person. 
      (b) During the period of his active service and for six 
months after his discharge therefrom, no member of the armed 
forces of the United States shall lose status of a householder

      In case there is an assessment against more than one member 
of a household the $100 exemption shall be divided among the 
members assessed in the proportion that the assessed value of 
the Class 2 property of each bears to the total assessed value 
of the Class 2 property of all the members assessed.  The Class 
2 property of each household claimed to be exempt shall be 
limited to property in one taxing district, except in cases 
where a single domestic establishment is maintained in two or 
more adjoining districts.

issued by the state of Minnesota, or by any county or city of 
the state, or any town, or any common or independent school 
district of the state, or any governmental board of the state 
are exempt from ad valorem property taxation; provided, that 
this subdivision shall not exempt the obligations or their 
interest from any excise or other tax levied on income, gross 
earnings, estates, inheritance, bequests, gifts, transfers,

abatement and control of air, water, or land pollution to the 
extent that it is so used, other than real property used 
primarily as a solid waste disposal site. 
     Any taxpayer requesting exemption of all or a portion of 
any equipment or device, or part thereof, operated primarily for 
the control or abatement of air or water pollution shall file an 
application with the commissioner of revenue.  The equipment or 
device shall meet standards, regulations or criteria prescribed 
by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and must be installed 
or operated in accordance with a permit or order issued by that 
agency.  The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency shall upon 
request of the commissioner furnish information or advice to the 
commissioner.  If the commissioner determines that property 
qualifies for exemption, he shall issue an order exempting the 
property from taxation.  The equipment or device shall continue 
to be exempt from taxation as long as the permit issued by the 
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency remains in effect. 
     (15) Wetlands.  For purposes of this subdivision, 
"wetlands" means land which is mostly under water, produces 
little if any income, and has no use except for wildlife or 
water conservation purposes.  "Wetlands" shall be land preserved

native prairie and shall notify the county assessor of each 
county in which the lands are located.  Pasture land used for 
livestock grazing purposes shall not be considered native 
prairie for the purposes of this clause and section 273.116.  
Upon receipt of an application for the exemption and credit 
provided in this clause and section 273.116 for lands for which 
the assessor has no determination from the commissioner of 
natural resources, the assessor shall refer the application to 
the commissioner of natural resources who shall determine within 
30 days whether the land is native prairie and notify the county 
assessor of his decision.  Exemption of native prairie pursuant 
to this clause shall not grant the public any additional or 
greater right of access to the native prairie or diminish any 
right of ownership to it. 
     (17) Property used in a continuous program to provide 
emergency shelter for victims of domestic abuse, provided the 
organization that owns and sponsors the shelter is exempt from 
federal income taxation pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the

1982, notwithstanding the fact that the sponsoring organization

105.482, subdivisions 1, 8 and 9. 
     (20) If approved by the governing body of the municipality 
in which the property is located, a direct satellite 
broadcasting facility or fixed satellite regional or national 
program service facility, construction of which is commenced 
after June 30, 1983, for a period not to exceed five years.  
When the facility no longer qualifies for exemption, it shall be

an opportunity to the members of the county board of 
commissioners of the county in which the facility is proposed to 
be located and the members of the school board of the school

the members of those boards its estimate of the fiscal impact of 
the proposed property tax exemption.  The tax exemption shall 
not be approved by the governing body until the county board of 
commissioners has presented its written comment on the proposal

subdivision 4.  Before approving a tax exemption pursuant to 
this paragraph, the governing body of the municipality shall 
provide an opportunity to the members of the county board of

the members of those boards its estimate of the fiscal impact of 
the proposed property tax exemption.  The tax exemption shall 
not be approved by the governing body until the county board of 
commissioners has presented its written comment on the proposal 
to the governing body, or 30 days has passed from the date of 
the transmittal by the governing body to the board of the 
information on the fiscal impact, whichever occurs first.

section reduce property taxes payable for purposes of chapter 
290A, the Property Tax Refund Act.

290.01, subdivision 19, is amended to read:

    Subd. 5.  [LOSSES.] (a) [GENERAL RULE.] There shall be 
allowed as a deduction any loss sustained during the taxable 
year and not compensated for by insurance or otherwise. 
    (b) [AMOUNT OF DEDUCTION.] For purposes of paragraph (a),

paragraph (a), any loss attributable to a disaster occurring in 
an area subsequently determined by the President of the United 
States to warrant assistance by the Federal Government under the 
provisions of the Federal Disaster Relief Act of 1974 shall be 
deducted for the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable 
year in which the disaster occurred.  This provision shall apply 
only if an election has been made under the provisions of 
Section 165(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended 
through January 15, 1983 for federal income tax purposes.  Such

Railroad Retirement Act and the federal Social Security Act.;  
(b) Payments to Minnesota or federal public employee retirement

1982.;  
    (9) Expenses, interest and taxes connected with or 
allocable against the production or receipt of all income not 
included in the measure of the tax imposed by this chapter.;  
    (10) In situations where this chapter provides for a 
subtraction from gross income of a specific dollar amount of an 
item of income assignable to this state, and within the measure 
of the tax imposed by this chapter, that portion of the federal 
income tax liability assessed upon such income subtracted, and 
any expenses attributable to earning such income, shall not be 
deductible in computing net income.;  
    (11) Amounts paid or accrued for such taxes and carrying 
charges as, under rules prescribed by the commissioner, are 
chargeable to capital account with respect to property, if the 
taxpayer elects, in accordance with such rules, to treat such

federal law or the law of Minnesota.  
    Sec. 50.  Minnesota Statutes 1983 Supplement, section 
290.17, subdivision 2, is amended to read:  
    Subd. 2.  [OTHER TAXPAYERS.] In the case of taxpayers not 
subject to the provisions of subdivision 1, items of gross 
income shall be assigned to this state or other states or 
countries in accordance with the following principles: 
     (1) (a) The entire income of all resident or domestic 
taxpayers from compensation for labor or personal services, or 
from a business consisting principally of the performance of 
personal or professional services, shall be assigned to this 
state, and the income of nonresident taxpayers from such sources 
shall be assigned to this state if, and to the extent that, the 
labor or services are performed within it; all other income from 
such sources shall be treated as income from sources without 
this state.  
     (b) In the case of an individual who is a nonresident of 
Minnesota and who is an athlete or entertainer, income from 
compensation for labor or personal services performed within 
this state shall be determined in the following manner.  
     (i) The amount of income to be assigned to Minnesota for an 
individual who is a nonresident salaried athletic team employee 
shall be determined by using a fraction in which the denominator 
contains the total number of days in which the individual is 
under a duty to perform for the employer, and the numerator is 
the total number of those days spent in Minnesota.  In order to 
eliminate the need to file state or provincial income tax 
returns in several states or provinces, Minnesota will exclude 
from income any income assigned to Minnesota under the 
provisions of this clause for a nonresident athlete who is 
employed by an athletic team whose operations are not based in 
this state if the state or province in which the athletic team 
is based provides a similar income exclusion.  If the state or 
province in which the athletic team's operations are based does 
not have an income tax on an individual's personal service 
income, it will be deemed that that state or province has a 
similar income exclusion.  As used in the preceding sentence, 
the term "province" means a province of Canada.  
      (ii) The amount of income to be assigned to Minnesota for 
an individual who is a nonresident, and who is an athlete not 
listed in clause (i), or who is an entertainer, for that 
person's athletic or entertainment performance in Minnesota 
shall be determined by assigning to this state all income from 
performances or athletic contests in this state.  
     (2) Income from the operation of a farm shall be assigned 
to this state if the farm is located within this state and to 
other states only if the farm is not located in this state.  
Income from winnings on Minnesota pari-mutuel betting tickets 
shall be assigned to this state.  Income and gains received from 
tangible property not employed in the business of the recipient 
of such income or gains, and from tangible property employed in 
the business of such recipient if such business consists 
principally of the holding of such property and the collection 
of the income and gains therefrom, shall be assigned to this 
state if such property has a situs within it, and to other 
states only if it has no situs in this state.  Income or gains 
from intangible personal property not employed in the business 
of the recipient of such income or gains, and from intangible 
personal property employed in the business of such recipient if 
such business consists principally of the holding of such 
property and the collection of the income and gains therefrom, 
wherever held, whether in trust, or otherwise, shall be assigned 
to this state if the recipient thereof is domiciled within this 
state or is a resident trust or estate. 
    (3) Income derived from carrying on a trade or business, 
including in the case of a business owned by natural persons the 
income imputable to the owner for his services and the use of 
his property therein, shall be assigned to this state if the 
trade or business is conducted wholly within this state, and to 
other states if conducted wholly without this state.  This 
provision shall not apply to business income subject to the 
provisions of clause (1);.  
    (4) When a trade or business is carried on partly within 
and partly without this state, the entire income derived from 
such trade or business, including income from intangible 
property employed in such business and including, in the case of 
a business owned by natural persons, the income imputable to the 
owner for his services and the use of his property therein, 
shall be governed, except as otherwise provided in sections 
290.35 and 290.36, by the provisions of section 290.19, 
notwithstanding any provisions of this section to the contrary.  
This shall not apply to business income subject to the 
provisions of clause (1), nor shall it apply to income from the 
operation of a farm which is subject to the provisions of clause 
(2).  For the purposes of this clause, a trade or business 
located in Minnesota is carried on partly within and partly 
without this state if tangible personal property is sold by such 
trade or business and delivered or shipped to a purchaser 
located outside the state of Minnesota. 
      If the trade or business carried on wholly or partly in 
Minnesota is part of a unitary business, the entire income of 
that unitary business shall be subject to apportionment under 
section 290.19 except for business income subject to the 
provisions of clause (1) and farm income subject to the 
provisions of clause (2).  The term "unitary business" shall 
mean business activities or operations which are of mutual 
benefit, dependent upon, or contributory to one another, 
individually or as a group.  Unity shall be presumed whenever 
there is unity of ownership, operation, and use, evidenced by 
centralized management or executive force, centralized 
purchasing, advertising, accounting, or other controlled 
interaction but the absence of these centralized activities will 
not necessarily evidence a nonunitary business.  Unity of 
ownership will not be deemed to exist when a corporation is 
involved unless that corporation is a member of a group of two 
or more corporations more than 50 percent of the voting stock of 
each member of the group is directly or indirectly owned by a 
common owner or by common owners, either corporate or 
noncorporate, or by one or more of the member corporations of 
the group.  
     The entire income of a unitary business shall be subject to 
apportionment as provided in section 290.19.  None of the income 
of a unitary business shall be considered as derived from any 
particular source and none shall be allocated to any particular 
place except as provided by the applicable apportionment formula.
     In determining whether or not intangible property is 
employed in a unitary business carried on partly within and 
partly without this state so that income derived therefrom is 
subject to apportionment under section 290.19 the following 
rules and guidelines shall apply. 
     (a) Intangible property is employed in a business if the 
business entity owning intangible property holds it as a means 
of furthering the business operation of which a part is located 
within the territorial confines of this state. 
      (b) Where a business operation conducted in Minnesota, is 
owned by a business entity which carries on business activity 
outside of the state different in kind from that conducted 
within this state, and such other business is conducted entirely 
outside the state, it will be presumed that the two business 
operations are unitary in nature, interrelated, connected and 
interdependent unless it can be shown to the contrary. 
    (5) For purposes of this section, amounts received by a 
nonresident from the United States, its agencies or 
instrumentalities, the Federal Reserve Bank, the state of 
Minnesota or any of its political or governmental subdivisions, 
or a Minnesota volunteer fireman's relief association, by way of 
payment as a pension, public employee retirement benefit, or any 
combination thereof, or as a retirement or survivor's benefit 
made from a plan qualifying under section 401, 403, 404, 405, 
408, 409 or 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as 
amended through December 31, 1981, are not considered income 
derived from carrying on a trade or business or from performing 
personal or professional services in Minnesota, and are not 
taxable under this chapter. 
    (6) All other items of gross income shall be assigned to 
the taxpayer's domicile.

adjusted gross income shall not be reduced by the amount of a 
net operating loss carryback.

organization are also exempt.  The exemption provided for 
isolated sales of tangible personal property and of the granting

devices or admission to places of amusement, does not exceed

CONFERENCE REPORT.] Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 298.24, 
subdivision 1, as amended by H.F. No. 2016 at the 1984 regular 
session, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  (a) There is hereby imposed upon taconite 
and iron sulphides, and upon the mining and quarrying thereof, 
and upon the production of iron ore concentrate therefrom, and 
upon the concentrate so produced, a tax of $1.25 cents per gross 
ton of merchantable iron ore concentrate produced therefrom.  
The tax on concentrates produced in 1978 and subsequent years 
prior to 1985 shall be equal to $1.25 multiplied by the steel 
mill products index during the production year, divided by the 
steel mill products index in 1977.  The index stated in code 
number 1013, or any subsequent equivalent, as published by the 
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics 
Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes for the month of January of 
the year in which the concentrate is produced shall be the index 
used in calculating the tax imposed herein.  In no event shall 
the tax be less than $1.25 per gross ton of merchantable iron 
ore concentrate.  The tax on concentrates produced in 1985 and 
1986 shall be at the rate determined for 1984 production.  For 
concentrates produced in 1987 and subsequent years, the tax 
shall be equal to the preceding year's tax plus an amount equal 
to the preceding year's tax multiplied by the percentage 
increase in the implicit price deflator from the fourth quarter 
of the second preceding year to the fourth quarter of the 
preceding year.  "Implicit price deflator" means the implicit 
price deflator prepared by the bureau of economic analysis of 
the United States department of commerce. 
    (b) On concentrates produced in 1984, an additional tax is 
imposed equal to eight-tenths of one percent of the total tax 
imposed by clause (a) per gross ton for each one percent that 
the iron content of such product exceeds 62 percent, when dried 
at 212 degrees Fahrenheit.  
    (c) The tax imposed by this subdivision on concentrates 
produced in 1984 shall be computed on the production for the 
current year.  The tax on concentrates produced in 1985 shall be 
computed on the average of the production for the current year 
and the previous year.  The tax on concentrates produced in 1986 
and thereafter shall be the average of the production for the 
current year and the previous two years. The rate of the tax 
imposed will be the current year's tax rate.  This clause shall 
not apply in the case of the closing of a taconite facility if 
the property taxes on the facility would be higher if this 
clause and section 298.25 were not applicable.  
    (d) If the tax or any part of the tax imposed by this 
subdivision is held to be unconstitutional, a tax of $1.25 per 
gross ton of merchantable iron ore concentrate produced shall be 
imposed.

    Subdivision 1.  [ISSUANCE.] In any case where a person's 
license has been suspended under section 171.18 or revoked under 
sections 169.121, 169.123, or 171.17, if the driver's livelihood 
or attendance at a chemical dependency treatment or counseling 
program depends upon the use of his driver's license, the 
commissioner may at his own discretion issue a limited license 
to the driver including under the following conditions:  
    (1) if the driver's livelihood or attendance at a chemical 
dependency treatment or counseling program depends upon the use 
of the driver's license; or 
    (2) if attendance at a post-secondary institution of 
education by an enrolled student of that institution depends 
upon the use of the driver's license.  
    The commissioner in issuing a limited license may impose 
such conditions and limitations as in his judgment are necessary 
to the interests of the public safety and welfare including 
re-examination as to the driver's qualifications.  The license 
may be limited to the operation of particular vehicles, to 
particular classes and times of operation and to particular 
conditions of traffic.  The commissioner may require that an 
applicant for a limited license affirmatively demonstrate that 
use of public transportation or carpooling as an alternative to 
a limited license would be a significant hardship.  
    The limited license issued by the commissioner shall 
clearly indicate the limitations imposed and the driver 
operating under the limited license shall have the license in 
his possession at all times when operating as a driver. 
    In determining whether to issue a limited license, the 
commissioner shall consider the number and the seriousness of 
prior convictions and the entire driving record of the driver 
and shall consider the number of miles driven by the driver 
annually.

 This appropriation is for the purpose 
of conducting a study of expanded 
railroad passenger service. 
The commissioner of transportation 
shall study the feasibility and 
potential methods of expanding railroad 
passenger service in the state.  The 
study must examine the following rail

The commissioner shall collect 
ridership data independent from AMTRAK 
data to analyze ridership and shall 
focus on local and intermediate stops.  
In analyzing the feasibility of 
expanding the railroad passenger 
service, the commissioner shall 
consider the following factors and any 
other factors deemed appropriate:  (1) 
minimum train speed, service frequency, 
and performance standards; (2) station 
locations; (3) availability of 
equipment; (4) ridership forecasts; (5) 
track upgrading estimates; (6) fuel 
consumption; and (7) estimated fare 
recovery in relation to total operating 
costs.  The commissioner shall report 
to the house and senate transportation 
committees by February 1, 1985, on his 
findings and recommendations.  
This appropriation may not be expended 
until units of government along the 
proposed corridors have committed at 
least $17,500 to match it. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of 
Minnesota Statutes, chapter 16A or any 
other law, the total amount 
appropriated for rail service 
improvements by Laws 1983, chapter 293, 
section 2, subdivision 5(a), shall be 
available for expenditure in any fiscal 
year.
