rules, paragraphs, clauses or other parts of a rule; 
    (8) change reference numbers to agree with renumbered 
statutes or parts of statutes; 
    (9) substitute the proper rule, paragraph, clause, or other 
part of a rule for the term "this rule," "the preceding rule"

parts of a rule.  The headnotes are not part of the rule even if 
included with the rule when adopted.  The revisor shall change 
headnotes to clearly indicate the subject matter of the rules.  
"Headnote" means any text functioning as catch words to the 
substance of text and not itself communicating the substantive 
content of the rule. 
    Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 15.39, 
subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 2.  The commissioner is hereby authorized to

commissioner of administration shall periodically designate 
businesses that are majority owned and operated by women, 
persons with a disability, or specific minorities as targeted 
group businesses within purchasing categories the commissioner 
determines.  A group must be targeted within a purchasing 
category if the commissioner determines there is a statistical 
disparity between the percentage of purchasing from businesses 
owned by group members and the representation of business 
businesses owned by group members among all business businesses 
in the state in the purchasing category.  The commissioner must 
review public agencies' purchasing from businesses owned by 
women, persons with a disability, and minorities at least once 
every two years.  The commissioner must review the 
representation of businesses owned by these groups among all 
businesses in the state at least once every five years. 
    (b) In addition to designations under paragraph (a), an 
individual business may be included as a targeted group business 
if the commissioner determines that inclusion is necessary to 
remedy discrimination against the owner based on race, gender, 
or disability in attempting to operate a business that would 
provide goods or service to public agencies. 
    (c) The designations of purchasing categories and 
businesses under paragraphs (a) and (b) are not rules for 
purposes of chapter 14, and are not subject to rulemaking 
procedures of that chapter. 
    Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 16B.21, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [COMMISSIONER OF ADMINISTRATION.] The

3.195 to the governor and the legislature with a copy to the 
commissioner of trade and economic development indicating the 
progress being made toward the objectives and goals of sections 
16B.19 to 16B.22, 137.31, 137.35, 161.321, and 473.142 during 
the preceding fiscal year.  The commissioner shall also submit a 
quarterly report to the small business and targeted group 
procurement advisory council.  These reports shall include the

set-aside awards identified during this period and the 
percentage of total state procurement this figure reflects; 
     (2) the number of small businesses identified by and 
responding to the small business procurement program, the total 
dollar value and number of set-aside and other contracts 
actually awarded to small businesses, and the total number of 
small businesses that were awarded set-aside and other 
contracts; 
     (3) the total dollar value and number of contracts awarded 
to small targeted group businesses pursuant to each bidding 
process authorized by sections 16B.19, subdivision 2c, 137.31, 
137.35, 161.321, and 473.142; the total number and value of 
these contracts awarded to each small targeted group business 
and to each type of small targeted group business in each 
purchasing category, and the percentages of the total 
procurement for each purchasing category the figures represent; 
    (4) the total dollar value and number of contracts awarded 
to small businesses in economically disadvantaged areas under

economically disadvantaged area in each purchasing category, and 
the percentages of total procurement for each purchasing 
category the figures represent. 
    The information required by clauses (1) and (2) must be 
presented on a statewide basis and also broken down by 
geographic regions within the state.  
    Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 16B.405, 
subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 2.  [SOFTWARE SALE FUND.] Proceeds of the sale or 
licensing of software products or services by the commissioner 
must be credited to the computer services intertechnologies 
revolving fund.  If a state agency other than the department of 
administration has contributed to the development of software 
sold or licensed under this section, the commissioner may 
reimburse the agency by discounting computer services provided 
to that agency. 
    Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 27.138, 
subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 4.  [PRIORITY OF UNPAID SELLERS' INTERESTS IN TRUST 
ASSETS.] (a) The unpaid sellers' seller's interest in trust 
assets is paramount to all other liens, security interests, and 
encumbrances in the trust assets.  An unpaid seller who recovers 
trust assets recovers them free of any liens, security 
interests, or encumbrances.  
    (b) If the trust assets are inadequate to pay unpaid 
sellers the amount due, the unpaid sellers shall share 
proportionately in the trust assets.  
    Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 41A.066, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [AUTHORITY TO MAKE LOANS.] The Minnesota 
agricultural and economic development board may make, purchase, 
or participate in making or purchasing hazardous waste 
processing facility loans in any amount, and may enter into 
commitments therefor.  A private person proposing to develop and 
operate a hazardous waste processing facility is eligible to 
apply for a loan under this subdivision.  Applications must be 
made to the Minnesota agricultural and economic development 
board.  The Minnesota agricultural and economic development 
board shall forward the applications to the office of waste 
management for review pursuant to section 115A.162.  If the 
office of waste management does not certify the application, the 
Minnesota agricultural and economic development board may not 
approve the application nor make the loan.  If the office of 
waste management certifies the application, the Minnesota 
agricultural and economic development board shall approve the 
application and make the loan if money is available for it and 
if the Minnesota agricultural and economic development board 
finds that:  
    (1) development and operation of the facility as proposed 
by the applicant is economically feasible; 
    (2) there is a reasonable expectation that the principal 
and interest on the loan will be fully repaid; and 
     (3) the facility is unlikely to be developed and operated 
without a loan from the Minnesota agricultural and economic 
development board.  
     The Minnesota agricultural and economic development board 
and the office of waste management shall establish coordinated 
procedures for loan application, certification, and approval.  
    The Minnesota agricultural and economic development board 
may use the Minnesota agricultural and economic development 
account to provide financial assistance to any person whose 
hazardous waste processing facility loan application has been 
certified by the office of waste management and approved by the 
Minnesota agricultural and economic development board, and for 
this purpose may exercise the powers granted in Minnesota 
Statutes 1986, section 116M.06, subdivision 2, with respect to 
any loans made or bonds issued under this subdivision regardless 
of whether the applicant is an eligible small business.  
     The Minnesota agricultural and economic development board 
may issue bonds and notes in the aggregate principal amount of 
$10,000,000 for the purpose of making, purchasing, or 
participating in making or purchasing hazardous waste processing 
facility loans.  
     The Minnesota agricultural and economic development board 
may adopt emergency rules under sections 14.29 to 14.36 to 
implement the loan program under this subdivision.  Emergency 
rules adopted by the Minnesota agricultural and economic 
development board remain in effect for 360 days or until 
permanent rules are adopted, whichever occurs first.  
    Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 60A.13, 
subdivision 3a, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3a.  [ANNUAL AUDIT.] Every insurance company doing 
business in this state, including fraternal beneficiary 
associations, reciprocal exchanges, service plan corporations 
licensed pursuant to chapter 62G 62C, and legal service plans 
licensed pursuant to chapter 62G, unless exempted by the 
commissioner pursuant to subdivision 4a or by subdivision 7 
shall have an annual audit of the financial activities of the 
most recently completed fiscal year performed by an independent 
certified public accountant as prescribed by the commissioner, 
and shall file the report of this audit with the commissioner 
not more that six months following the close of the company's 
fiscal year.  Any insurer required by this subdivision to file 
an annual audit which does not currently have its financial 
statement audited shall file its first audit with the 
commissioner not later than June 30, 1983.  All other insurers 
shall file their annual audits beginning June 30, 1982.  
    Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 60B.25, is 
amended to read: 
    60B.25 [POWERS OF LIQUIDATOR.] 
    The liquidator shall report to the court monthly, or at 
other intervals specified by the court, on the progress of the 
liquidation in whatever detail the court orders.  The liquidator 
shall coordinate activities with those of each guaranty 
association having an interest in the liquidation and shall 
submit a report detailing how coordination will be achieved to 
the court for its approval within 30 days following appointment, 
or within the time which the court, in its discretion, may 
establish.  Subject to the court's control, the liquidator may: 
    (1) Appoint a special deputy to act under sections 60B.01 
to 60B.61 and determine the deputy's compensation. The special 
deputy shall have all powers of the liquidator granted by this 
section.  The special deputy shall serve at the pleasure of the 
liquidator. 
    (2) Appoint or engage employees and agents, actuaries, 
accountants, appraisers, consultants, and other personnel deemed 
necessary to assist in the liquidation without regard to chapter 
14. 
    (3) Fix the compensation of persons under clause (2), 
subject to the control of the court. 
    (4) Defray all expenses of taking possession of, 
conserving, conducting, liquidating, disposing of, or otherwise 
dealing with the business and property of the insurer.  If the 
property of the insurer does not contain sufficient cash or 
liquid assets to defray the costs incurred, the liquidator may 
advance the costs so incurred out of the appropriation made to 
the department of commerce.  Any amounts so paid shall be deemed 
expense of administration and shall be repaid for the credit of 
the department of commerce out of the first available money of 
the insurer. 
     (5) Hold hearings, subpoena witnesses and compel their 
attendance, administer oaths, examine any person under oath and 
compel any person to subscribe to testimony after it has been 
correctly reduced to writing, and in connection therewith 
require the production of any books, papers, records, or other 
documents which the liquidator deems relevant to the inquiry. 
     (6) Collect all debts and money due and claims belonging to 
the insurer, wherever located, and for this purpose institute 
timely action in other jurisdictions, in order to forestall 
garnishment and attachment proceedings against such debts; do 
such other acts as are necessary or expedient to collect, 
conserve, or protect its assets or property, including sell, 
compound, compromise, or assign for purposes of collection, upon 
such terms and conditions as the liquidator deems best, any bad 
or doubtful debts; and pursue any creditor's remedies available 
to enforce claims. 
     (7) Conduct public and private sales of the property of the 
insurer in a manner prescribed by the court. 
     (8) Use assets of the estate to transfer coverage 
obligations to a solvent assuming insurer, if the transfer can 
be arranged without prejudice to applicable priorities under 
section 60B.44. 
     (9) Acquire, hypothecate, encumber, lease, improve, sell, 
transfer, abandon, or otherwise dispose of or deal with any 
property of the insurer at its market value or upon such terms 
and conditions as are fair and reasonable, except that no 
transaction involving property the market value of which exceeds 
$10,000 shall be concluded without express permission of the 
court.  The liquidator may also execute, acknowledge, and 
deliver any deeds, assignments, releases, and other instruments 
necessary or proper to effectuate any sale of property or other 
transaction in connection with the liquidation.  In cases where 
real property sold by the liquidator is located other than in 
the county where the liquidation is pending, the liquidator 
shall cause to be filed with the county recorder for the county 
in which the property is located a certified copy of the order 
of appointment. 
     (10) Borrow money on the security of the insurer's assets 
or without security and execute and deliver all documents 
necessary to that transaction for the purpose of facilitating 
the liquidation. 
     (11) Enter into such contracts as are necessary to carry 
out the order to liquidate, and affirm or disavow any contracts 
to which the insurer is a party. 
     (12) Continue to prosecute and institute in the name of the 
insurer or in the liquidator's own name any suits and other 
legal proceedings, in this state or elsewhere, and abandon the 
prosecution of claims the liquidator deems unprofitable to 
pursue further.  If the insurer is dissolved under section 
60B.23, the liquidator may apply to any court in this state or 
elsewhere for leave to be substituted for the insurer as 
plaintiff. 
     (13) Prosecute any action which may exist in behalf of the 
creditors, members, policyholders, or shareholders of the 
insurer against any officer of the insurer, or any other person. 
     (14) Remove any records and property of the insurer to the 
offices of the commissioner or to such other place as is 
convenient for the purposes of efficient and orderly execution 
of the liquidation. 
     (15) Deposit in one or more banks in this state such sums 
as are required for meeting current administration expenses and 
dividend distributions. 
     (16) Deposit with the state board of investment for 
investment pursuant to section 11A.24, all sums not currently 
needed, unless the court orders otherwise. 
     (17) File any necessary documents for record in the office 
of any county recorder or record office in this state or 
elsewhere where property of the insurer is located. 
     (18) Assert all defenses available to the insurer as 
against third persons, including statutes of limitations, 
statutes of frauds, and the defense of usury.  A waiver of any 
defense by the insurer after a petition for liquidation has been 
filed shall not bind the liquidator. 
     (19) Exercise and enforce all the rights, remedies, and 
powers of any creditor, shareholder, policyholder, or member, 
including any power to avoid any transfer or lien that may be 
given by law and that is not included within sections 60B.30 and 
60B.32. 
     (20) Intervene in any proceeding wherever instituted that 
might lead to the appointment of a receiver or trustee, and act 
as the receiver or trustee whenever the appointment is offered. 
     (21) Enter into agreements with any receiver or 
commissioner of any other state relating to the rehabilitation, 
liquidation, conservation, or dissolution of an insurer doing 
business in both states. 
     (22) Exercise all powers now held or hereafter conferred 
upon receivers by the laws of this state not inconsistent with 
sections 60B.01 to 60B.61. 
     (23) The enumeration in this section of the powers and 
authority of the liquidator is not a limitation, nor does it 
exclude the right to do such other acts not herein specifically 
enumerated or otherwise provided for as are necessary or 
expedient for the accomplishment of or in aid of the purpose of 
liquidation. 
     (24) The power of the liquidator of a health maintenance 
organization includes the power to transfer coverage obligations 
to a solvent and voluntary health maintenance organization, 
insurer, or nonprofit health service plan, and to assign 
provider contracts of the insolvent health maintenance 
organization to an assuming health maintenance organization, 
insurer, or nonprofit health service plan permitted to enter 
into such agreements.  The liquidator is not required to meet 
the notice requirements of section 62D.121.  Transferees of 
coverage obligations or provider contracts shall have no 
liability to creditors or obligees of the health maintenance 
organization except those liabilities expressly assumed. 
    Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 62E.19, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
     Subdivision 1.  [EMPLOYER LIABILITY.] An employer is liable 
to the association for the costs of any preexisting conditions 
of the employer's former employees or their dependents during 
the first six months of coverage under the state comprehensive 
health insurance plan under the following conditions: 
     (1) the employer has terminated or laid off employees and 
is required to meet the notice requirements under section 
268.976, subdivision 3; 
     (2) the employer has failed to provide, arrange for, or 
make available continuation health insurance coverage required 
to be provided under federal or state law to employees or their 
dependents; and 
     (3) the employer's former employees or their dependents 
enroll in the state comprehensive health insurance plan with a 
waiver of the preexisting condition limitation under section

as required under this chapter.  The association may enforce the 
obligation to pay the special assessment by action, as a claim 
in an insolvency proceeding, or by any other method not 
prohibited by law. 
    If the association makes the special assessment permitted 
by this subdivision, the association may also make any 
assessment of contributing members otherwise permitted by law, 
without regard to the special assessment permitted by this 
subdivision.  Contributing members must pay the assessment, 
subject to refund or adjustment, in the event of receipt by the 
association of any portion of the special assessment.

    Subd. 2.  [INTERSTATE SYSTEM.] It is hereby declared that 
construction of the interstate system of highways will vitally 
affect the future development of the cities through which these 
routes pass and such municipalities should have an important 
role in the development of this highway system; that on the 
other hand the future planning and programming of construction 
projects over a period of years is necessary to take maximum 
advantage of federal aid and to build a unified and coordinated 
interstate system; that excessive delay in local approval of 
plans for construction of one segment may seriously impede 
completion of the entire system and adversely affect other 
municipalities along the interstate routes; that the mutual 
exchange of information and close cooperation between the 
department and local governing bodies should be encouraged by 
improved administrative processes for securing orderly review of 
plans and the resolution of differences over interstate routes 
and projects; and that the provisions of subdivision 1 sections 
161.171 to 161.177 for local approval of trunk highway plans 
must be modified for the interstate highway system in the light 
of these various considerations.  Before proceeding with the 
preparation of the final plans for the construction, 
reconstruction, or improvement of any route on the interstate 
system lying within any city, the commissioner shall submit to 
its governing body preliminary plans covering the route 
location.  The preliminary plans shall be submitted as part of a 
report containing such supporting data that the commissioner 
deems helpful to the governing body in appraising the plans 
submitted. 
    Any public hearing on location of an interstate route held 
in compliance with federal requirements shall be held at least 
one month after submission to the governing body of the report 
provided for in this subdivision.  After the public hearing and 
on preparing final plans, the commissioner shall submit the 
final plans to the governing body for approval.  If the 
governing body does not approve the final plans within three 
months after submitted, the commissioner may refer the plans to 
(1) the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Planning Commission, if 
the project is within the area of its jurisdiction, or (2) the 
municipal advisory committee on state-aid rules established 
under section 162.09, subdivision 2, if the project is elsewhere 
in the state.  If a member of the advisory committee is from the 
municipality concerned that member shall be excused.  If the 
plans are so referred, the commission or committee shall give 
the commissioner and the governing body ample opportunity to 
present the case for or against approval of the plans so 
referred.  Not later than three months after such hearings and 
independent study as it deems desirable, it shall approve or 
disapprove such plans, making such additional recommendations 
consistent with state and federal requirements as it deems 
appropriate, and it shall submit a written report containing its 
findings and recommendations to the commissioner and the 
governing body.  The commissioner shall not proceed with the 
proposed construction, reconstruction, or improvement except in 
accordance with plans approved by the governing body or, if 
referred to the commission or committee, until after the 
commission or committee has made its report, and then only after 
the governing body has had an additional 90 days within which to 
consider the plans originally submitted or such modified plans 
as may be submitted to it by the commissioner following the 
report of the commission or committee.  If within such 90-day 
period, the governing body does not approve the plans submitted 
to it, and if the commissioner then wishes to proceed with the 
project according to plans differing substantially from the 
plans recommended by the commission or committee in its report, 
the commissioner shall, before proceeding with the project, file 
a written report with the commission or committee and the 
governing body stating fully the reasons for doing so.  Whenever 
plans are referred to the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Planning 
Commission, the commission shall be reimbursed from the trunk 
highway fund for actual and necessary expenses incurred by the 
commission in staff work incident to consideration of plans and 
action thereon by the commission.  Whenever plans are referred 
to the advisory committee on rules, members of the committee 
shall be paid their necessary expenses to the same extent and in 
the same manner as for its duties in considering the 
commissioner's rules.

subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [CRITERIA.] (a) The commission shall grant 
a petition for installation of extended area service only when 
each of the following criteria has been met: 
    (1) the petitioning exchange is contiguous to an exchange 
or local calling area to which extended area service is 
requested in the petition; 
    (2) polling by the commission shows that a majority of the 
customers responding to a poll in the petitioning exchange favor 
its installation, unless all parties and the commission agree 
that no polling is necessary; and 
    (3) at least 50 percent of the customers in the petitioning 
exchange make one or more calls per month to the exchange or 
local calling area to which extended area service is requested, 
as determined by a traffic study. 
    The rate to the polled exchange must be available to its 
customers before the commission determines what proportion of 
them favor the installation of extended area service. 
    (b) For the purpose of paragraph (a), clause (3), the 
commission shall include as a customer an FX telephone service 
subscriber in the petitioning exchange whose FX service is 
provided through the exchange or an exchange within the local 
calling area to which extended area service is sought.  For the 
purposes of this subdivision, "FX" means tariffed telephone toll 
service provided by placing a telephone line from another 
telephone exchange area in the telephone customer's exchange 
area. 
     (c) When the local calling area to which extended service 
is sought is the metropolitan local calling area in Anoka, 
Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington counties 
and the petitioning exchange meets the criteria in paragraph 
(a), the telephone company serving the petitioning exchange 
shall make local measured service or another lower cost 
alternative to basic flat-rate service available to customers in 
the petitioning exchange. 
    Sec. 61.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 256B.059,

    Subd. 4.  [INCREASED COMMUNITY SPOUSE ASSET ALLOWANCE; WHEN 
ALLOWED.] (a) If either the institutionalized spouse or 
community spouse establishes that the community spouse asset 
allowance under subdivision 3 (in relation to the amount of 
income generated by such an allowance) is not sufficient to 
raise the community spouse's income to the minimum monthly 
maintenance needs allowance in section 256B.058, subdivision 2, 
paragraph (c), there shall be substituted for the amount allowed 
to be transferred an amount sufficient, when combined with the 
monthly income otherwise available to the spouse, to provide the 
minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance.  A substitution 
under this paragraph may be made only if the assets of the 
couple have been arranged so that the maximum amount of 
income-producing assets, at the maximum rate of return, are 
available to the community spouse under the community spouse 
asset allowance.  The maximum rate of return is the average rate 
of return available from the financial institution holding the 
asset, or a rate determined by the commissioner to be reasonable 
according to community standards, if the asset is not held by a 
financial institution. 
    (b) The community spouse asset allowance under subdivision 
3 can be increased by court order or hearing that complies with 
the requirements of United States Code, title 42, section 1924 
1396r-5. 
    Sec. 62.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 273.1398,

    Subd. 5a.  [AID ADJUSTMENT FOR COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES AID.] 
(a) There shall be transferred to the human services aid account 
from the payment to a county under subdivision 2 an amount 
representing a county's human services aid increase as 
calculated in subdivision 5b, paragraphs (a) to (c).  The amount 
calculated for each county shall be deducted equally from the 
July and December payments to the county under this section in 
1991 and subsequent years.  The amount of the payments under 
subdivision 2 shall not be less than zero as a result of this 
adjustment. 
    Sec. 63.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 275.50, 
subdivision 5, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 5.  Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary for 
taxes levied in 1990 payable in 1991 and subsequent years, 
"special levies" means those portions of ad valorem taxes levied 
by governmental subdivisions to: 
     (a) for taxes levied in 1990, payable in 1991 and 
subsequent years, pay the costs not reimbursed by the state or 
federal government, of payments made to or on behalf of 
recipients of aid under any public assistance program authorized 
by law, and the costs of purchase or delivery of social 
services.  The aggregate amounts levied under this clause for 
the costs of purchase or delivery of social services and income 
maintenance programs, other than those identified in section 
273.1398, subdivision 1, paragraph (i), are subject to a maximum 
increase over the amount levied for the previous year of 12 
percent for counties within the metropolitan area as defined in 
section 473.121, subdivision 2, or counties outside the 
metropolitan area but containing a city of the first class, and 
15 percent for other counties.  For purposes of this clause, 
"income maintenance programs" include income maintenance 
programs in section 273.1398, subdivision 1, paragraph (i), to 
the extent the county provides benefits under those programs 
over the statutory mandated standards.  Effective with taxes 
levied in 1990, the portion of this special levy for human 
service programs identified in section 273.1398, subdivision 1, 
paragraph (i), is eliminated; 
      (b) pay the costs of principal and interest on bonded 
indebtedness except on bonded indebtedness issued under section 
471.981, subdivisions 4 to 4c, or to reimburse for the amount of 
liquor store revenues used to pay the principal and interest due 
in the year preceding the year for which the levy limit is 
calculated on municipal liquor store bonds; 
      (c) pay the costs of principal and interest on certificates 
of indebtedness, except tax anticipation or aid anticipation 
certificates of indebtedness, issued for any corporate purpose 
except current expenses or funding an insufficiency in receipts 
from taxes or other sources or funding extraordinary 
expenditures resulting from a public emergency; and to pay the 
cost for certificates of indebtedness issued pursuant to 
sections 298.28 and 298.282; 
      (d) fund the payments made to the Minnesota state armory 
building commission pursuant to section 193.145, subdivision 2, 
to retire the principal and interest on armory construction 
bonds; 
      (e) provide for the bonded indebtedness portion of payments 
made to another political subdivision of the state of Minnesota; 
      (f) pay the amounts required, in accordance with section 
275.075, to correct for a county auditor's error of omission but 
only to the extent that when added to the preceding year's levy 
it is not in excess of an applicable statutory, special law or 
charter limitation, or the limitation imposed on the 
governmental subdivision by sections 275.50 to 275.56 in the 
preceding levy year; 
      (g) pay amounts required to correct for an error of 
omission in the levy certified to the appropriate county auditor 
or auditors by the governing body of a city or town with 
statutory city powers in a levy year, but only to the extent 
that when added to the preceding year's levy it is not in excess 
of an applicable statutory, special law or charter limitation, 
or the limitation imposed on the governmental subdivision by 
sections 275.50 to 275.56 in the preceding levy year; 
      (h) pay amounts required by law to be paid to pay the 
interest on and to reduce the unfunded accrued liability of 
public pension funds in accordance with the actuarial standards 
and guidelines specified in sections 356.215 and 356.216 reduced 
by 106 percent of the amount levied for that purpose in 1976, 
payable in 1977.  For the purpose of this special levy, the 
estimated receipts expected from the state of Minnesota pursuant 
to sections 69.011 to 69.031 or any other state aid expressly 
intended for the support of public pension funds shall be 
considered as a deduction in determining the required levy for 
the normal costs of the public pension funds.  No amount of 
these aids shall be considered as a deduction in determining the 
governmental subdivision's required levy for the reduction of 
the unfunded accrued liability of public pension funds; 
    (i) to compensate the state for the cost of a reassessment 
ordered by the commissioner of revenue pursuant to section 
270.16; 
    (j) pay the debt service on tax increment financing revenue 
bonds to the extent that revenue to pay the bonds or to maintain 
reserves for the bonds is insufficient as a result of the 
provisions of Laws 1988, chapter 719, article 5; 
    (k) pay the cost of hospital care under section 261.21; 
    (l) pay the unreimbursed costs incurred in the previous 
year to satisfy judgments rendered against the governmental 
subdivision by a court of competent jurisdiction in any tort 
action, or to pay the costs of settlements out of court against 
the governmental subdivision in a tort action when substantiated 
by a stipulation for the dismissal of the action filed with the 
court of competent jurisdiction and signed by both the plaintiff 
and the legal representative of the governmental subdivision, 
provided that an appeal for the unreimbursed costs under this 
clause was approved by the commissioner of revenue under section 
275.51, subdivision 3; 
    (m) pay the expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred in 
preparing for or repairing the effects of natural disaster 
including the occurrence or threat of widespread or severe 
damage, injury, or loss of life or property resulting from 
natural causes such as earthquake, fire, flood, wind storm, wave 
action, oil spill, water contamination, air contamination, or 
drought in accordance with standards formulated by the emergency 
services division of the state department of public safety, 
provided that an appeal for the expenses incurred under this 
clause were approved by the commissioner of revenue under 
section 275.51, subdivision 3; 
      (n) pay a portion of the losses in tax receipts to a city 
due to tax abatements or court actions in the year preceding the 
current levy year, provided that an appeal for the tax losses 
was approved by the commissioner of revenue under section 
275.51, subdivision 3.  This special levy is limited to the 
amount of the losses times the ratio of the nonspecial levies to 
total levies for taxes payable in the year the abatements were 
granted.  County governments are not authorized to claim this 
special levy; 
      (o) pay the operating cost of regional library services 
authorized under section 134.34, subject to a maximum increase 
over the previous year of the greater of (1) 103 percent 
multiplied by one plus the percentage increase determined for 
the governmental subdivision under section 275.51, subdivision 
3h, clause (b), or (2) six percent.  If a governmental 
subdivision elected to include some or all of its levy for 
libraries within its adjusted levy limit base in the prior year, 
but elects to claim the levy as a special levy in the current 
levy year, the allowable increase is determined by applying the 
greater percentage determined under clause (1) or (2) to the 
total amount levied for libraries in the prior levy year.  After 
levy year 1989, the increase must not be determined using a base 
amount other than the amount that could have been levied as a 
special levy in the prior year.  This limit may be redistributed 
according to the provisions of section 134.342.  In no event 
shall the special levy be less than the minimum levy required 
under sections 134.33 and 134.34, subdivisions 1 and 2; 
     (p) pay the amount of the county building fund levy 
permitted under section 373.40, subdivision 6; 
     (q) pay the county's share of the costs levied in 1989, 
1990, and 1991 for the Minnesota cooperative soil survey under 
Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 40.07, subdivision 15; 
     (r) for taxes levied in 1989, payable in 1990 only, pay the 
cost incurred for the minimum share required by counties levying 
for the first time under section 134.34 as required under 
section 134.341.  For taxes levied in 1990, and thereafter, 
counties levying under this provision must levy under clause 
(o), and their allowable increase must be determined with 
reference to the amount levied in 1989 under this paragraph; 
     (s) for taxes levied in 1989, payable in 1990 only, provide 
an amount equal to 50 percent of the estimated amount of the 
reduction in aids to a county under sections 273.1398, 
subdivision 2, paragraph (d), and 477A.012, subdivision 3, for 
aids payable in 1990; 
     (t) for taxes levied in 1990 only by a county in the eighth 
judicial district, provide an amount equal to the amount of the 
levy, if any, that is required under Laws 1989, chapter 335, 
article 3, section 54, subdivision 8, as amended by Laws 1990, 
chapter 604, article 9, section 14; 
     (u) for taxes levied in 1989, payable in 1990 only, pay the 
costs not reimbursed by the state or federal government: 
     (i) for the costs of purchase or delivery of social 
services.  The aggregate amounts levied under this item are 
subject to a maximum increase over the amount levied in the 
previous year of 12 percent for counties within the metropolitan 
area as defined in section 473.121, subdivision 2, or counties 
outside the metropolitan area but containing a city of the first 
class, and 15 percent for other counties. 
     (ii) for payments made to or on behalf of recipients of aid 
under any public assistance program authorized by law.  The 
aggregate amounts levied under this item are subject to a 
maximum increase over the amount levied in the previous year of 
12 percent and must be used only for the public assistance 
programs. 
     If the amount levied under this paragraph (u) in 1989 is 
less than the actual expenditures needed for these programs for 
1990, the difference between the actual expenditures and the 
amount levied may be levied in 1990 as a special levy.  If the 
amount levied in 1989 is greater than the actual expenditures 
needed for these programs for 1990, the difference between the 
amount levied and the actual expenditures shall be deducted from 
the 1990 levy limit, payable in 1991; 
     (v) pay an amount of up to 25 percent of the money sought 
for distribution and approved under section 115A.557, 
subdivision 3, paragraph (b), clause (3); 
     (w) pay the unreimbursed costs of per diem jail or 
correctional facilities services paid by the county in the 
previous 12-month period ending on July 1 of the current year 
provided that the county is operating under a department of 
corrections directive that limits the capacity of a county jail 
as authorized in section 641.01 or 641.262, or a correctional 
facility as defined in section 241.021, subdivision 1, paragraph 
(5); 
     (x) for taxes levied in 1990 and 1991, payable in 1991 and 
1992 only, pay the operating or maintenance costs of a county 
jail as authorized in section 641.01 or 641.262, or of a 
correctional facility as defined in section 241.021, subdivision 
1, paragraph (5), to the extent that the county can demonstrate 
to the commissioner of revenue that the amount has been included 
in the county budget as a direct result of a rule, minimum 
requirement, minimum standard, or directive of the department of 
corrections.  If the county utilizes this special levy, any 
amount levied by the county in the previous levy year for the 
purposes specified under this clause and included in the 
county's previous year's levy limitation computed under section 
275.51, shall be deducted from the levy limit base under section 
275.51, subdivision 3f, when determining the county's current 
year levy limitation.  The county shall provide the necessary 
information to the commissioner of revenue for making this 
determination; 
     (y) for taxes levied in 1990, payable in 1991 only, pay an 
amount equal to the unreimbursed county costs paid in 1989 and 
1990 for the purpose of grasshopper control; and, for taxes 
levied in 1991 payable in 1992 only, pay an amount equal to the 
unreimbursed county costs paid in 1991 for the purpose of 
grasshopper control; 
     (z) for a county, provide an amount needed to fund 
comprehensive local water implementation activities under 
sections 103B.3361 to 103B.3369 as provided in this clause. 
     A county may levy an amount not to exceed the water 
implementation local tax rate times the adjusted net tax 
capacity of the county for the preceding year.  The water 
implementation local tax rate shall be set by August 1 each year 
by the commissioner of revenue for taxes payable in the 
following year.  As used in this paragraph, the "adjusted net 
tax capacity of the county" means the net tax capacity of the 
county as equalized by the commissioner of revenue based upon 
the results of an assessment/sales ratio study.  That rate shall 
be the rate, rounded up to the nearest one-thousandth of a 
percent, that, when applied to the adjusted net tax capacity for 
all counties, raises the amount specified in this clause.  The 
water implementation local tax rate for taxes levied in 1990 
shall be the rate that raises $1,500,000 and the rate for taxes 
levied in 1991 shall be the rate that raises $1,500,000.  A 
county must levy a tax at the rate established under this clause 
to qualify for a grant from the board of water and soil 
resources under section 103B.3369, subdivision 5; 
     (aa) pay the unreimbursed county costs for court-ordered 
family-based services and court-ordered out-of-home placement 
for children to the extent that the county can demonstrate to 
the commissioner of revenue that the estimated amount included 
in the county's budget for the following levy year is for the 
purposes specified under this clause.  For purposes of this 
special levy, costs for "family-based services" and "out-of-home 
placement" means costs resulting from court-ordered targeted 
family services designed to avoid out-of-home placement and from 
court-ordered out-of-home placement under the provisions of 
sections 260.172 and 260.191, which are unreimbursed by the 
state or federal government, insurance proceeds, or parental or 
child obligations.  Any amount levied under this clause must 
only be used by the county for the purposes specified in this 
clause.  
     If the county uses this special levy and the county levied 
an amount in the previous levy year, for the purposes specified 
under this clause, under another special levy or under the levy 
limitation in section 275.51, the following adjustments must be 
made: 
     (i) The amount levied in the previous levy year for the 
purposes specified under this clause under the levy limitation 
in section 275.51 must be deducted from the levy limit base 
under section 275.51, subdivision 3f, when determining the 
current year levy limitation. 
     (ii) The amount levied in the previous levy year, for the 
purposes specified under clause (a) or (u) must be deducted from 
the previous year's amount used to calculate the maximum amount 
allowable under clause (a) in the current levy year; and 
     (bb) pay the amounts allowed as special levies under Laws 
1989, First Special Session chapter 1, article 5, section 50, 
and subdivisions 5a and 5b. 
    Sec. 64.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 297A.25, 
subdivision 8, is amended to read:

associations, however or for whatever purpose organized, engaged 
in the business of mining or producing iron ore or other ores, 
when collected shall be apportioned and distributed in 
accordance with the Constitution of the state of Minnesota, 
article 10, section 3, in the manner following:  90 percent

of elementary and secondary schools; and ten percent of the 
proceeds of the tax imposed by this section shall be deposited 
in the state treasury and credited to the general fund for the 
general support of the university.  Of the moneys apportioned to 
the general fund by this section there is annually appropriated 
and credited to the iron range resources and rehabilitation 
board account in the special revenue fund an amount equal to 
that which would have been generated by a one cent tax imposed 
by section 298.24 on each taxable ton produced in the preceding 
calendar year, to be expended for the purposes of section 
298.22.  The money appropriated pursuant to this section shall 
be used (1) to provide environmental development grants to local 
governments located within any county in region 3 as defined in 
governor's executive order number 68 60, issued on June 12, 
1970, which does not contain a municipality qualifying pursuant 
to section 273.134 or (2) to provide economic development loans 
or grants to businesses located within any such county, provided 
that the county board or an advisory group appointed by the 
county board to provide recommendations on economic development 
shall make recommendations to the iron range resources and 
rehabilitation board regarding the loans.  Payment to the iron 
range resources and rehabilitation board account shall be made 
by May 15 annually.

custodial trust. 
    Sec. 81.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 551.05,

     Subdivision 1.  [EXEMPTION NOTICE.] If the writ of 
execution is being used by the attorney to levy funds of a 
judgment debtor who is a natural person and if the funds to be 
levied are held on deposit at any financial institution, the 
attorney for the judgment creditor shall serve with the writ of 
execution two copies of an exemption notice.  The notice must be 
substantially in the form set forth below.  Failure of the 
attorney for the judgment creditor to send the exemption notice 
renders the execution levy void, and the financial institution 
shall take no action.  However, if this subdivision is being 
used to execute on funds that have previously been garnished in 
compliance with section 571.71, the attorney for judgment 
creditor is not required to serve an additional exemption 
notice.  In that event, the execution levy shall only be 
effective as to the funds that were subject to the prior 
garnishment.  Upon receipt of the writ of execution and 
exemption notices, the financial institution shall retain as 
much of the amount due under section 550.04 as the financial 
institution has on deposit owing to the judgment debtor, but not 
more than 100 percent of the amount remaining due on the 
judgment, or $5,000, whichever is less.  
     The notice informing a judgment debtor that an execution 
levy has been used to attach funds of the judgment debtor to 
satisfy a claim must be substantially in the following form: 
STATE OF MINNESOTA                             DISTRICT COURT 
County of ................         .........JUDICIAL DISTRICT 
................(Judgment Creditor)
................(Judgment Debtor) 
TO:  Judgment Debtor                 EXEMPTION NOTICE 
     An order for attachment, garnishment summons, or levy of 
execution (strike inapplicable language) has been served on 
............. (bank or other financial institution where you 
have an account).  
     Your account balance is $........  
     The amount being held is $........  
     However, all or a portion of the funds in your account will 
normally be exempt from creditors' claims if they are in one of 
the following categories:  
     (1) relief based on need.  This includes:  Aid to Families 
with Dependent Children (AFDC), AFDC-Emergency Assistance 
(AFDC-EA), Medical Assistance (MA), General Assistance (GA), 
General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC), Emergency General 
Assistance (EGA), Work Readiness, Minnesota Supplemental Aid 
(MSA), MSA Emergency Assistance (MSA-EA), Supplemental Security 
Income (SSI), and Energy Assistance; 
     (2) Social Security benefits (Old Age, Survivors, or 
Disability Insurance); 
     (3) unemployment compensation, workers' compensation, or 
veterans' benefits; 
    (4) an accident, disability, or retirement pension or 
annuity; 
    (5) life insurance proceeds; 
    (6) the earnings of your minor child; or 
    (7) money from a claim for damage or destruction of exempt 
or property (such as household goods, farm tools, business 
equipment, a mobile home, or a car).  
    The following funds are also exempt: 
    (8) all earnings of a person in category (1); 
    (9) all earnings of a person who has received relief based 
on need, or who has been an inmate of a correctional 
institution, within the last six months; 
    (10) 75 percent of every judgment debtor's after tax 
earnings; or 
    (11) all of a judgment debtor's after tax earnings below 40 
times the federal minimum wage.  
    TIME LIMIT ON EXEMPTIONS AFTER DEPOSIT IN BANK:  
    Categories (10) and (11):  20 days 
    Categories (8) and (9):  60 days 
    All others:  no time limit, as long as funds are traceable 
to the exempt source.  (In tracing funds, the first-in, 
first-out method is used.  This means money deposited first is 
spent first.)  The money being sought by the judgment creditor 
is being held in your account to give you a chance to claim an 
exemption. 
     TO CLAIM AN EXEMPTION:  
     Fill out, sign, and mail or deliver one copy of the 
attached exemption claim form to the institution which sent you 
this notice and mail or deliver one copy to the judgment 
creditor's attorney.  The address for the judgment creditor's 
attorney is set forth below.  Both copies must be mailed or 
delivered on the same day.  
     If they do not get the exemption claim back from you within 
14 days of the date they mailed or gave it to you, they will be 
free to turn the money over to the attorney for the judgment 
creditor.  If you are going to claim an exemption, do so as soon 
as possible, because your money may be held until it is decided. 
     IF YOU CLAIM AN EXEMPTION:  
     (1) nonexempt money can be turned over to the judgment 
creditor or sheriff; 
     (2) the financial institution will keep holding the money 
claimed to be exempt; and 
     (3) seven days after receiving your exemption claim, the 
financial institution will release the money to you unless 
before then it receives an objection to your exemption claim.  
     IF THE JUDGMENT CREDITOR OBJECTS TO YOUR EXEMPTION CLAIM: 
     the institution will hold the money until a court decides 
if your exemption claim is valid, BUT ONLY IF the institution 
gets a copy of your court motion papers asserting the exemption 
WITHIN TEN DAYS after the objection is mailed or given to you.  
You may wish to consult an attorney at once if the judgment 
creditor objects to your exemption claim.  
     MOTION TO DETERMINE EXEMPTION:  
     At any time after your funds have been held, you may ask 
for a court decision on the validity of your exemption claim by 
filing a request for hearing which may be obtained at the office 
of the clerk of the above court. 
     PENALTIES:  
     If you claim an exemption in bad faith, or if the judgment 
creditor wrongly objects to an exemption in bad faith, the court 
may order the person who acted in bad faith to pay costs, actual 
damages, attorney fees, and an additional amount of up to $100.

you must sign the affirmation on Page 2 and return this 
disclosure to the creditor's attorney (or the creditor if not 
represented by an attorney) within 20 days after it was served 
on you, and you do not need to answer the remaining questions. 
    B.  If your answers to both questions 1 and 2 are "Yes," 
you must complete this form and the Earnings Disclosure 
Worksheet as follows: 
 For each payday that falls within 70 days from the date the 
garnishment summons was served on you, YOU MUST calculate 
the amount of earnings to be retained by completing Steps 3

Disclosure Worksheet.  UPON REQUEST, THE EMPLOYER MUST 
PROVIDE THE DEBTOR WITH INFORMATION AS TO HOW THE 
CALCULATIONS REQUIRED BY THIS DISCLOSURE WERE MADE.  
 Each payday, you must retain the amount of earnings listed 
in Column I on the Earnings Disclosure Worksheet.

Earnings Disclosure Worksheet to the creditor's attorney 
(or the creditor if not represented by an attorney) and 
deliver a copy to the debtor within ten days after the last 
payday that falls within the 70-day period. 
 If the claim is wholly satisfied or if the debtor's 
employment ends before the expiration of the 70-day period, 
your disclosure should be made within ten days after the 
last payday for which earnings were attached. 
For Steps 3 through 11, "Columns" refers to columns on the 
Earnings Disclosure Worksheet. 
    3.  COLUMN A.  Enter the date of debtor's 
                   payday.
    4.  COLUMN B.  Enter debtor's gross earnings for 
                   each payday.
    5.  COLUMN C.  Enter debtor's disposable earnings 
                   for each payday.

                   of work weeks included in each payday.  (Note:
                   If a pay period includes days in excess of 
                   whole work weeks, the additional days should 
                   be counted as a fraction of a work week equal
                   to the number of work days in excess of a 
                   whole work week divided by the number of work
                   days in a normal work week.)

                   amount claimed by any other person as an
                   exemption or adverse interest which would
                   reduce the amount of earnings owing to the
                   debtor.  (Note:  Any indebtedness to you 
                   incurred by the debtor within the ten
                   days before the receipt of the first 
                   garnishment on a debt may not be set
                   off against amounts otherwise subject to
                   the garnishment.  Any assignment of earnings
                   made by the debtor to any party within ten
                   days before the receipt of the first
                   garnishment on a debt is void.)

   11.  COLUMN I.  Subtract the amount in Column H from the
                   amount in Column G and enter here.  This is
                   the amount of earnings that you must retain
                   for the payday for which the calculations
                   were made.

.................(Garnishee)                  EARNINGS DISCLOSURE

                               DEFINITIONS
     "EARNINGS":  For the purpose of execution, "earnings" means 
compensation paid or payable to an employee for personal 
services or compensation paid or payable to the producer for the 
sale of agricultural products; milk or milk products; or fruit 
or other horticultural products produced when the producer is 
operating a family farm, a family farm corporation, or an 
authorized farm corporation, as defined in section 500.24, 
subdivision 2, whether denominated as wages, salary, commission, 
bonus, or otherwise, and includes periodic payments pursuant to 
a pension or retirement, workers' compensation, or unemployment 
compensation.  
     "DISPOSABLE EARNINGS":  Means that part of the earnings of 
an individual remaining after the deduction from those earnings 
of amounts required by law to be withheld.  (Amounts required by 
law to be withheld do not include items such as health 
insurance, charitable contributions, or other voluntary wage 
deductions.) 
     "PAYDAY":  For the purpose of execution, "payday(s)" means 
the date(s) upon which the employer pays earnings to the debtor 
in the ordinary course of business.  If the judgment debtor has 
no regular payday, payday(s) means the 15th and the last day of 
each month.  
     THE GARNISHEE MUST ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: 
     (1) Do you now owe, or within 70 days from the date the 
execution levy was served on you, will you or may you owe money 
to the debtor for earnings?  
                             .......         .......
                             Yes             No

                    INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE 
EARNINGS DISCLOSURE 
     A.  If your answer to question 1 is "No," then you must 
sign the affirmation below and return this disclosure to the 
creditor's attorney (or the creditor if not represented by an 
attorney) within 20 days after it was served on you, and you do 
not need to answer the remaining questions.  
     B.  If your answer to question 1 is "Yes," you must 
complete this form and the Earnings Disclosure Worksheet as 
follows:  
 For each payday that falls within 70 days from the date the 
garnishment summons was served on you, YOU MUST calculate 
the amount of earnings to be retained by completing steps 2 
through 8 on page 2, and enter the amounts on the Earnings 
Disclosure Worksheet.  UPON REQUEST, THE EMPLOYER MUST 
PROVIDE THE DEBTOR WITH INFORMATION AS TO HOW THE 
CALCULATIONS REQUIRED BY THIS DISCLOSURE WERE MADE. 
 Each payday, you must retain the amount of earnings listed 
in column G on the Earnings Disclosure Worksheet.  
 You must pay the attached earnings and return this earnings 
disclosure form and the Earnings Disclosure Worksheet to 
the creditor's attorney (or the creditor if not represented 
by an attorney) and deliver a copy to the debtor within ten 
days after the last payday that falls within the 70-day 
period.  If the claim is wholly satisfied or if the 
debtor's employment ends before the expiration of the 
70-day period, your disclosure should be made within ten 
days after the last payday for which earnings were attached.
     For steps 2 through 8, "columns" refers to columns on the 
Earnings Disclosure Worksheet.  
     (2) COLUMN A.  Enter the date of debtor's payday.  
     (3) COLUMN B.  Enter debtor's gross earnings for each 
payday.  
     (4) COLUMN C.  Enter debtor's disposable earnings for each 
payday.  
     (5) COLUMN D.  Enter either 50, 55, 60, or 65 percent of 
disposable earnings, based on which of the following 
descriptions fits the child support judgment debtor:  
     (a) 50 percent of the judgment debtor's disposable income, 
if the judgment debtor is supporting a spouse or dependent 
child; 
     (b) 55 percent of the judgment debtor's disposable income, 
if the judgment debtor is supporting a spouse or dependent 
child, and the judgment is over 12 weeks old (12 weeks to be 
calculated to the beginning of the work week in which the 
execution levy is received); 
     (c) 60 percent of the judgment debtor's disposable income, 
if the judgment debtor is not supporting a spouse or dependent 
child; or 
     (d) 65 percent of the judgment debtor's disposable income, 
if the judgment debtor is not supporting a spouse or dependent 
child, and the judgment is over 12 weeks old (12 weeks to be 
calculated to the beginning of the work week in which the 
execution levy is received).  (Multiply column C by .50, .55, 
.60, or .65, as appropriate.)  
     (6) COLUMN E.  Subtract the amount in column D from the 
amount in column C, and enter here.  
     (7) COLUMN F.  Enter here any amount claimed by you as a 
setoff, defense, lien, or claim, or any amount claimed by any 
other person as an exemption or adverse interest that would 
reduce the amount of earnings owing to the debtor.  (Note:  Any 
assignment of earnings made by the debtor to any party within 
ten days before the receipt of the first garnishment on a debt 
is void.  Any indebtedness to you incurred by the debtor within 
the ten days before the receipt of the first garnishment on a 
debt may not be set off against amounts otherwise subject to the 
garnishment.) 
     You must also describe your claim(s) and the claims of 
others, if known, in the space provided below the worksheet and 
state the name(s) and address(es) of these persons.  
     Enter zero in column F if there are no claims by you or 
others that would reduce the amount of earnings owing to the 
judgment debtor.  
     (8) COLUMN G.  Subtract the amount in column F from the 
amount in column E and enter here.  This is the amount of 
earnings that you must remit for the payday for which the 
calculations were made.

lien, or other encumbrance that is perfected, but a lien 
perfected by garnishment is superior to such interests 
subsequently perfected.  Priorities of creditors relating to

assignment of earnings made by the debtor to any party within 
ten days before the receipt of the first garnishment on a debt 
is void.  Any indebtedness to you the garnishee incurred by the

property and interest in real property pursuant to this 
subdivision shall come from the issuance of state waste 
management bonds in accordance with sections 115A.57 to 115A.58 
and 115A.59.  The property shall be leased in accordance with 
terms determined by the office to the owner and operator of the 
hazardous waste facility located thereon at a rate sufficient to 
pay debt service on the bonds which provided funds used to 
acquire the property and to evaluate the eligibility of the 
property for inclusion in the inventory under section 115A.09 or 
candidacy under sections 115A.18 to 115A.30.  Any local

administration may hold the property for the purposes for which 
it was acquired, and may lease, rent, or dispose of the property 
so far as not needed for such purposes, upon the terms and in 
the manner the commissioner deems advisable.  The right to 
acquire lands and property rights by condemnation shall be 
exercised in accordance with chapter 117.  The commissioner of 
administration may take possession of any property for which 
condemnation proceedings have been commenced at any time after 
the issuance of a court order appointing commissioners for its 
condemnation.  Where the property is acquired through eminent 
domain proceedings, the land owner's compensation shall be the 
fair market value of the property.  Where the property is 
acquired by means other than through eminent domain proceedings, 
as by direct purchase or gift, the land owner's compensation 
shall be determined by the agreement of the parties involved.  
An award of compensation in a condemnation proceeding shall not 
be increased or decreased by reason of any increase or decrease 
in the value of the property caused by its designation in the 
inventory of preferred areas under section 115A.09 or as a 
candidate site under sections 115A.18 to 115A.30 or its 
selection as a site or buffer area.
