                             REVISOR'S BILL 

                          STATUTORY CORRECTIONS 
    Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1986, section 1.135, 
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 6, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 6.  [ACCESS BY LABOR ORGANIZATIONS.] Personnel data

market for the services offered by the proposed facility;

hazardous waste.  The board may establish additional criteria 
for certifying loan applications consistent with the provisions

organization of a state bank except as herein otherwise 
provided.  In such case the certificate of incorporation and the 
application for a certificate authorizing the proposed bank to 
transact business shall be executed by a majority of 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 
the cashier of the national banking association setting forth 
the corporate action taken by the national banking association 
authorizing the conversion.  The department of commerce may, at 
its discretion, dispense with the notice and hearing provided in 
Minnesota Statutes 1949, section 45.04 46.041, if the granting 
of the certificate of authority will not increase the number of 
banks in the community affected.  No certificate of deposit of

banking association shall certify to the commissioner of 
commerce that the association has a paid in and unimpaired 
capital not less than that specified in the certificate of

right, title and interest in and to all property of whatsoever

unconverted existence shall be deemed fully and finally 
transferred to and vested in the state bank without further act 
or deed and the state bank shall have and hold the same in its 
own right as fully as the same was possessed and held by the 
national banking association from which it was by operation 
hereof transferred.  Its rights, obligations and relations to 
any person, creditor, depositor, trustee or beneficiary of any 
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 
after the conversion shall have become effective, every such 
office, trust relationship, fiduciary capacity, and all of the 
rights, powers, privileges, duties, discretions and 
responsibilities so provided to devolve upon, vest in, or inure

inure to and be exercised by the state bank into which the 
national banking association shall have been converted.

shall be recertified accordingly by the commissioner. 
     (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 121.912, any 
portion of the amount in (1) remaining after the application of 
clauses (2) and (3) shall be transferred to the district's 
capital expenditure fund; provided that before July 1, 1979 not 
exceeding $75,000 of the amount transferred to the capital 
expenditure fund pursuant to this clause may be transferred to 
the district's general fund.

    On or before September 1 of 1976 and each subsequent year,

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 
municipality in the auditor's county exceeds the assessed 
valuation in 1971 of commercial-industrial property subject to 
taxation within that municipality.  If a municipality is located 
in two or more counties within the area, the auditors of those 
counties shall certify the data required by sections 473F.04 and 
section 473F.05 to the county auditor who is responsible under 
other provisions of law for allocating the levies of that 
municipality between or among the affected counties.  That 
county auditor shall determine the amount of the net excess, if

amount under section 473F.07.  Notwithstanding any other 
provision of sections 473F.01 to 473F.13 to the contrary, in the

89-136, the increase in its assessed valuation of 
commercial-industrial property for purposes of this section 
shall be determined in each year subsequent to the termination 
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:

subdivision 1, as amended by 1987 H.F. No. 243, section 31, is 
amended to read:  
    Subdivision 1.  [ELIGIBILITY.] (a) Each person or family 
whose income and resources are less than the standard of 
assistance established by the commissioner shall be eligible for 
and entitled to general assistance if the person or family is: 
    (1) a person who is suffering from a permanent or temporary 
illness, injury, or incapacity which is medically certified and 
which prevents the person from obtaining or retaining employment;
    (2) a person whose presence in the home on a substantially 
continuous basis is required because of the certified illness, 
injury, incapacity, or the age of another member of the 
household; 
    (3) a person who has been placed in a licensed or certified 
facility for purposes of physical or mental health or

domiciliary facility, if the placement is based on illness or 
incapacity and is pursuant to a plan developed or approved by 
the local agency through its director or designated 
representative; 
    (4) a person who resides in a shelter facility described in 
subdivision 3; 
    (5) a person who is or may be eligible for displaced

student; 
    (6) a person who is unable to secure suitable employment 
due to inability to communicate in the English language, 
provided that the person is not an illegal alien, and who, if

participating in that program; 
    (7) a person not described in clause (1) or (3) who is 
diagnosed by a licensed physician or licensed consulting

employment; 
    (8) a person who has an application pending for the social

security income for the aged, blind, and disabled, or who has 
been terminated from either program and has an appeal from that

because advanced age significantly affects the person's ability 
to seek or engage in substantial work; 
    (10) a person completing a secondary education program; 
    (11) a family with one or more minor children; provided 
that, if all the children are six years of age or older, all the

The adult members required to register for and cooperate with 
the work readiness program are not eligible for financial 
assistance under section 256D.051, except as provided in section 
256D.051, subdivision 6, and shall be included in the general 
assistance grant.  If an adult member fails to cooperate with 
requirements of section 256D.051, the local agency shall not

accordance with emergency and permanent rules adopted by the 
commissioner, to be functionally illiterate, provided that the 
person complies with literacy training requirements set by the 
local agency under section 32.  A person who is terminated for 
failure to comply with literacy training requirements may not 
reapply for assistance under this clause for 60 days.  The local 
agency must provide an oral explanation to the person of the 
person's responsibilities under this clause, the penalties for 
failure to comply, the agency's duties under section 256D.0505, 
subdivision 2, and the person's right to appeal (1) at the time 
an application is approved based on this clause, and (2) at the 
time the person is referred to literacy training; or 
    (16) a child under the age of 18 who is not living with a 
parent, stepparent, or legal custodian, but only if:  the child 
is legally emancipated or living with an adult with the consent 
of an agency acting as a legal custodian; the child is at least 
16 years of age and the general assistance grant is approved by 
the director of the local agency or a designated representative 
as a component of a social services case plan for the child; or

child's legal custodian and the local agency. 
    (b) The following persons or families with income and 
resources that are less than the standard of assistance 
established by the commissioner are eligible for and entitled to 
a maximum of six months of general assistance during any 
consecutive 12-month period, after registering with and 
completing six months in a work readiness program under section 
256D.051: 
    (1) a person who has borderline mental retardation; and 
    (2) a person who exhibits perceptible symptoms of mental 
illness as certified by a qualified professional but who is not 
eligible for general assistance under paragraph (a), because the 
mental illness interferes with the medical certification 
process; provided that the person cooperates with social 
services, treatment, or other plans developed by the local 
agency to address the illness. 
    In order to retain eligibility under this paragraph, a 
recipient must continue to cooperate with work and training 
requirements as determined by the local agency. 
    Sec. 6.  [HUMAN SERVICES.] 
    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.

property. 
    Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1986, section 273.11, 
subdivision 8, as amended by 1987 H.F. No. 529, article 5, 
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.

allowed a credit for alternative minimum tax previously paid for 
any taxable year in which the corporation has no tax liability 
under section 290.092, and has an alternative minimum tax credit 
carryover from a previous year.  The credit shall be equal to 
the lesser of (1) the excess of the tax under section 290.06 for 
the taxable year over the amount computed under section 290.092, 
subdivision 1, clause (a), for the taxable year, or (2) the 
alternative minimum tax credit carryover to the taxable year. 
    (b) The tax imposed under section 290.092 for any taxable 
year is a credit for alternative minimum tax previously paid 
which is a carryover to each of the 15 five taxable years 
succeeding the taxable year.  The entire amount of the 
alternative minimum tax credit must be carried to the earliest 
of the taxable years to which such amount may be carried.  The 
portion of the alternative minimum tax credit which is carried 
to each of the other taxable years to which the credit may be 
carried is the excess, if any, of the credit over the amount 
allowable under paragraph (a) for each of the taxable years to 
which the credit may be carried.  In each taxable year in which 
a credit is allowable under paragraph (a), the credit for 
alternative minimum tax previously paid must be used beginning 
with the earliest taxable year from which the credit may be 
carried.

This appropriation is to acquire and 
better recreation open space projects 
upon application by local units of 
government and Indian tribes and bands 
recognized by the federal government.  
Projects that receive federal grants 
must be given priority.  A grant under 
this paragraph is not contingent upon 
the receipt of federal grants.  A 
project may receive grant assistance of 
up to 50 percent of the total capital 
cost of the project or, if federal 
money is used, 50 percent of the local 
share.  A project must not receive 
grant assistance of more than 
$400,000.  A local unit of government 
must not receive more than one grant 
during each fiscal biennium. 
 $500,000 the first year and $500,000 
the second year shall be granted for 
projects outside the metropolitan area 
defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 
473.121.

 $9,500,000 is for payment by the 
commissioner of energy and economic 
development to the metropolitan council 
established under Minnesota Statutes, 
section 473.123.  The commissioner 
shall transfer the amount to the 
metropolitan council upon receipt of a 
certified copy of a council resolution 
requesting payment.  The appropriation 
must be used to pay the cost of 
acquisition and betterment by the 
metropolitan council and local 
government units of regional 
recreational open space lands in 
accordance with the council's policy 
plan as provided in Minnesota Statutes, 
sections 473.315 and 473.341, including 
relocation costs and tax equivalents 
required to be paid by Minnesota 
Statutes, sections 473.315 and 473.341. 
 $6,000,000 is for the acquisition and 
betterment of land on Lake Minnetonka 
for a regional park.  No more than 
$400,000 may be used for staff and 
independent professional services 
necessary to acquire and better open 
space and for the performance of the 
duties of the metropolitan council 
under this paragraph. 
 The acquisition and betterment may 
include land between Lake Minnetonka 
and Stone Lake, to assist in connecting 
the Lake Minnetonka regional park with 
Carver park reserve.  Of the 
$6,000,000, the sum of $250,000 may be 
used to develop parking and a 
pedestrian underpass to support a 
public access site in the city of Mound.
 During the biennium, that part of 
Minnesota Statutes, section 398.09, 
paragraph (b), that requires local 
approval prior to acquiring real estate 
by purchase or condemnation shall not 
apply to this acquisition. 
    Sec. 45.  [INTEREST EARNINGS.]

    Sec. 46.  1987 H.F. No. 919, section 18, subdivision 11, is 
amended to read: 
     Subd. 11.  Vermilion Community
College Student Housing                              1,500,000
 The state board for community colleges 
may acquire a site and construct, own, 
operate, furnish, and maintain one or 
more dormitories or other student 
residence facilities at Ely for the use 
and benefit of Vermilion Community 
College.  Selection of a designer for 
the project is not subject to Minnesota 
Statutes, section 16B.33, subdivision 
4.  The higher education facilities 
authority may issue revenue bonds for 
the facilities under Minnesota 
Statutes, sections 136A.25 to 136A.42, 
and the state board for community 
colleges may borrow the proceeds of the 
revenue bonds to finance the 
acquisition, construction, and 
equipping of the student housing 
facilities.  The board may enter into 
agreements and pledge revenues of the 
facilities as may be necessary to 
provide security for the bonds and may 
mortgage the financed facilities to the 
higher education facilities authority 
or to a trustee for the bondholders if 
considered necessary by the board or 
the authority for the successful 
marketing of the bonds.  The state 
board for community colleges shall 
establish, maintain, revise when 
necessary, and collect rates and 
charges for the use of the student 
housing facilities.  The rates and 
charges must be sufficient, as 
estimated by the board, to pay all 
expenses of operation and maintenance 
of the facilities, to pay principal of, 
and interest on, revenue bonds or other 
obligations when due and to pay 
customary fees and charges of the 
higher education facilities authority 
and to establish and maintain the 
reserve funds that the board considers 
necessary for repair, replacement, and 
maintenance of the facilities.  Funds 
and accounts established in furtherance 
of these purposes are not subject to 
Minnesota Statutes, section 136.67, 
subdivision 2, and are not subject to 
the budgetary control of the 
commissioner of finance.  The board 
shall never be obligated to use other 
revenues of the board or funds of the 
state to pay the costs of construction, 
operation, maintenance, and repair of 
the facilities or to pay principal of 
and interest on obligations issued for 
these purposes.  Notwithstanding any 
other law or rule or the city charter, 
the city of Ely may, without complying 
with the procedures set forth in 
Minnesota Statutes, chapter 475, 
guarantee all or any part of the loan 
repayment obligation of the board to 
the authority, by pledging its full 
faith and credit and taxing power.  The 
guarantee is not subject to any 
limitation on net debt of the city, and 
taxes required to make any payment 
under the guarantee may be levied 
without limit as to rate or amount. 
    Sec. 47.  Minnesota Statutes 1986, section 62E.02,

64 64B.  For the purposes of determining liability of 
contributing members pursuant to section 62E.11 payments

by a health maintenance organization shall be considered to be 
accident and health insurance premiums.
