    Sec. 13.  Minnesota Statutes 1989 Supplement, section 
105.41, subdivision 1a, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 1a.  [WATER ALLOCATION PRIORITIES.] (a) The 
commissioner shall adopt rules for allocation of waters based on 
the following priorities for the consumptive appropriation and 
use of water: 
    (1) first priority:  domestic water supply excluding 
industrial and commercial uses of municipal water supply, and 
use for power production that meets the contingency planning 
provisions of section 105.417, subdivision 5; 
    (2) second priority:  a use of water that involves 
consumption of less than 10,000 gallons of water per day; 
    (3) third priority:  agricultural irrigation and processing 
of agricultural products, involving consumption in excess of 
10,000 gallons per day; 
    (4) fourth priority:  power production in excess of the use 
provided for in the contingency plan developed under section 
105.417, subdivision 5; and 
    (5) fifth priority:  uses, other than agricultural 
irrigation, processing of agricultural products, and power 
production, involving consumption in excess of 10,000 gallons 
per day and nonessential uses of public water supplies as 
defined in section 105.518, subdivision 1 105.418. 
    (b) For the purposes of this section, "consumption" shall 
mean water withdrawn from a supply which is lost for immediate 
further use in the area.  
    (c) Appropriation and use of surface water from streams 
during periods of flood flows and high water levels must be 
encouraged subject to consideration of the purposes for use, 
quantities to be used, and the number of persons appropriating 
water. 
    (d) Appropriation and use of surface water from lakes of 
less than 500 acres in surface area must be discouraged. 
    (e) The treatment and reuse of water from nonconsumptive 
uses shall be encouraged.  
    (f) Diversions of water from the state for use in other

    Sec. 14.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 115.49, 
subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 4.  Any municipality which is a party to a contract 
for any of the purposes specified in subdivision 3 and which 
operates a plant for the disposal of sewage, industrial wastes, 
or other wastes, or which is a city of the first class 
comprising a part of a sanitary district under chapter 445 may 
upon written notice to the other party or parties, fix new rates 
and charges for the service performed under the contract, 
notwithstanding any provision of law, charter, or the contract 
to the contrary.  Any other party or parties to such a contract 
with a municipality which operates such a plant, or with a city 
of the first class comprising a part of a sanitary district 
under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 445 may, upon written notice 
to such municipality, demand that new rates and charges be fixed 
for service performed under the contract, notwithstanding any 
provision of law, charter, or the contract to the contrary.  
Whenever notice is given as provided herein, it shall be the 
duty of the municipality operating the plant for the disposal of 
sewage, industrial wastes, or other wastes, or a city of the 
first class comprising a part of a sanitary district under 
chapter 445, to hold a hearing for the determination of proper 
rates and charges.  A valid notice given under this subdivision 
of a demand to fix new rates and charges as to any contract 
precludes another such notice by any party as to that contract 
for a period of five years from the time of the notice, or the 
time of dismissal of proceedings under a notice, or the time of 
determination of rates and charges by the affected agencies or 
by judgment, as the case may be, whichever of these events is 
last, but there may always be a contract change under 
subdivision 3; provided there can be no such demand as of right 
within the first five years of a contract.  A municipality which 
may be affected by determination of new rates and charges in 
such a proceeding may participate in the proceeding as an 
interested third party by filing a notice of its intention to so 
participate with the clerk of the municipality to which the 
original notice was directed.  If any party to the contract 
involved in the proceeding initiated by notice of demand for new 
rates and charges is dissatisfied with the rates and charges as 
set in the proceeding it may within 30 days after such 
determination by written notice given to the other party or 
parties elect to submit the matters in dispute to a board of 
arbitration which shall be created as follows:  The municipality 
making such written election shall in such written election 
appoint a referee; the other municipality shall within ten days 
after such election and appointment also appoint a referee; the 
two referees shall appoint a third referee, or if they fail for 
ten days to do so, unless the municipalities mutually extend the 
time for them to do so the district court of a judicial district 
which is mutually agreeable to the municipalities shall make the 
appointment of the third referee.  A decision of the majority of 
the board shall be a decision of the board.  Each municipality 
shall pay the compensation of the referee appointed by it, and 
one-half of the compensation of the third referee, such 
compensation to be at the rate usually charged by such person 
for services in the person's profession or occupation.  The 
hearing initiated by the notice of demand to fix new rates and 
charges and all proceedings in connection therewith shall be in 
conformity with sections 14.57 to 14.62 and the municipality 
conducting the hearing is an agency as such term is used in such 
sections.  Any party to the contract aggrieved by the decision 
or order made in conformity with such provisions shall be 
entitled to judicial review in the district court in the county 
in which such decision or order was made and in the manner 
provided in subdivision 5.  The new rates and charges

(a) On passenger automobiles as defined in section 168.011, 
subdivision 7, ambulances, and hearses, except as otherwise 
provided, the tax shall be $10 plus an additional tax equal to 
1.25 percent of the base value.

value" means the manufacturer's suggested retail price of the 
vehicle including destination charge as reflected on the price 
listing affixed to the vehicle in conformity with United States 
Code, title 15, sections 1231 to 1233 (Public Law Number 85-506) 
or otherwise suggested by the manufacturer or determined by the 
registrar if no suggested retail price exists, and shall not 
include the cost of each accessory or item of optional equipment 
separately added to the vehicle and the suggested retail price. 
    (c) If unable to determine the base value because the 
vehicle is specially constructed, or for any other reason, the 
registrar may establish such value upon the cost price to the 
purchaser or owner as evidenced by a certificate of cost but not 
including Minnesota sales or use tax or any local sales or other 
local tax. 
    (d) The registrar shall classify every vehicle in its 
proper base value class as follows:

and thereafter a series of classes successively set in brackets 
having a spread of $200 consisting of such number of classes as 
will permit classification of all vehicles. 
    (e) The base value for purposes of this section shall be 
the middle point between the extremes of its class. 
    (f) The registrar shall establish the base value, when new, 
of every passenger automobile, ambulance and hearse registered 
prior to the effective date of Extra Session Laws 1971, chapter 
31, using list price information published by the manufacturer 
or any nationally recognized firm or association compiling such 
data for the automotive industry.  If unable to ascertain the 
base value of any registered vehicle in the foregoing manner, 
the registrar may use any other available source or method.  The 
tax on all previously registered vehicles shall be computed upon 
the base value thus determined taking into account the 
depreciation provisions of Extra Session Laws 1971, chapter 31 
paragraph (g). 
    (g) Except as provided in paragraph (h), the annual 
additional tax computed upon the base value as provided herein, 
during the first and second years of vehicle life shall be 
computed upon 100 percent of the base value; for the third and 
fourth years, 90 percent of such value; for the fifth and sixth 
years, 75 percent of such value; for the seventh year, 60 
percent of such value; for the eighth year, 40 percent of such 
value; for the ninth year, 30 percent of such value; for the 
tenth year, ten percent of such value; for the 11th and each 
succeeding year, the sum of $25.  
    In no event shall the annual additional tax be less than 
$25.

motor vehicle on which the first annual tax was paid before 
January 1, 1990, must not exceed the tax that was paid on that 
vehicle the year before. 
    Sec. 22.  Minnesota Statutes 1989 Supplement, section

appoint, hire and discharge and fix the compensation of the 
necessary employees, in the manner provided by law, as may be 
required to enable the registrar to properly carry out the 
duties imposed by the provisions of this chapter.  The registrar 
may appoint, and for cause discontinue, a deputy registrar for 
any city as the public interest and convenience may require, 
without regard to whether the county auditor of the county in 
which the city is situated has been appointed as the deputy 
registrar for the county or has been discontinued as the deputy 
registrar for the county, and without regard to whether the 
county in which the city is situated has established a county 
license bureau which issues motor vehicle licenses as provided 
in section 373.32. 
    The registrar may appoint, and for cause discontinue, a 
deputy registrar for any city as the public interest and 
convenience may require, if the auditor for the county in which

deputy registrar for the county or is discontinued as a deputy 
registrar, or if the county in which the city is situated has 
not established a county license bureau which issues motor 
vehicle license licenses as provided in section 373.32.  Any 
person appointed by the registrar as a deputy registrar for any 
city shall be a resident of the county in which the city is 
situated. 
      The registrar may appoint, and for cause discontinue, the 
county auditor of each county as a deputy registrar.  Upon 
approval of the county board, the auditor, with the approval of 
the director of motor vehicles, may appoint, and for cause 
discontinue, the clerk or equivalent officer of each city or any 
other person as a deputy registrar as public interest and 
convenience may require, regardless of the appointee's county of 
residence.  Notwithstanding any other provision, a person other 
than a county auditor or a director of a county license bureau, 
who was appointed by the registrar before August 1, 1976, as a 
deputy registrar for any city, may continue to serve as deputy 
registrar and may be discontinued for cause only by the 
registrar.  The county auditor who appointed the deputy 
registrars shall be responsible for the acts of deputy 
registrars appointed by the auditor.  Each such deputy, before 
entering upon the discharge of duties, shall take and subscribe 
an oath to faithfully discharge the duties and to uphold the 
laws of the state.  If a deputy registrar appointed hereunder is 
not an officer or employee of a county or city, such deputy 
shall in addition give bond to the state in the sum of $10,000, 
or such larger sum as may be required by the registrar, 
conditioned upon the faithful discharge of duties as deputy 
registrar.  A corporation governed by chapter 302A may be 
appointed a deputy registrar.  Upon application by an individual 
serving as a deputy registrar and the giving of the requisite 
bond as provided in this subdivision, personally assured by the 
individual or another individual approved by the commissioner of 
public safety, a corporation named in an application shall 
become the duly appointed and qualified successor to the deputy 
registrar.  Each deputy registrar appointed hereunder shall keep 
and maintain, in a convenient public place within or in close 
proximity to the place for which appointed, a registration and 
motor vehicle tax collection bureau, to be approved by the 
registrar, for the registration of motor vehicles and the 
collection of motor vehicle taxes thereon.  The deputy registrar 
shall keep such records and make such reports to the registrar 
as that officer, from time to time, may require.  Such records 
shall be maintained at the facility of the deputy registrar.  
The records and facilities of the deputy registrar shall at all 
times be open to the inspection of the registrar or the 
registrar's agents.  The deputy registrar shall report to the 
registrar by the next working day following receipt all 
registrations made and taxes and fees collected by the deputy 
registrar.  The filing fee imposed pursuant to subdivision 7 
shall be deposited in the treasury of the place for which 
appointed, or if not a public official, such deputy shall retain 
the filing fee, but the registration tax and any additional fees 
for delayed registration the deputy registrar has collected the 
deputy registrar shall deposit by the next working day following 
receipt in an approved state depository to the credit of the 
state through the state treasurer.  The place for which the 
deputy registrar is appointed through its governing body shall 
provide the deputy registrar with facilities and personnel to 
carry out the duties imposed by this subdivision if such deputy 
is a public official.  In all other cases, the deputy shall 
maintain a suitable facility for serving the public.

be paid by the division.  Transcript fees received under this 
subdivision shall be paid to the workers' compensation division 
account in the state treasury and shall be annually appropriated 
to the division for the sole purpose of providing a record and 
transcripts as provided in this subdivision.  This subdivision 
does not apply to any administrative conference or other

expressly set forth in this subdivision, drop-in child care 
programs must be licensed as a drop-in program under the rules 
governing child care programs operated in a center.  Drop-in 
child care programs are exempt from the requirements in 
Minnesota Rules, parts 9503.0040; 9503.0045, subpart 1, items F 
and G; 9503.0050, subpart 6, except for children less than 2-1/2

program must maintain a minimum staff ratio for children age 
2-1/2 or greater of one staff person for each ten children,

costs of child care for students, including the costs of child 
care for students while employed if enrolled in an eligible 
education program at the same time and making satisfactory 
progress towards completion of the program.  Counties may not 
limit the duration of child care subsidies for a person in an 
employment or educational program, except when the person is 
found to be ineligible under the child care fund eligibility 
standards.  Any limitation must be based on a person's 
employability plan in the case of an AFDC recipient, and county

Financially eligible students who have received child care 
assistance for one academic year shall be provided child care 
assistance in the following academic year if funds allocated

who is receiving AFDC child care assistance under this chapter 
moves to another county as specified in their employability 
plan, continues to be enrolled in a post-secondary institution, 
and continues to be eligible for AFDC child care assistance 
under this chapter, the student must receive continued child 
care assistance from their county of origin without interruption 
to the limit of the county's allocation.

moral well-being and behavior of the child, or with the consent 
of the commissioner of corrections, in a group foster care 
facility which is under the management and supervision of said 
commissioner; 
    (c) Subject to the supervision of the court, transfer legal 
custody of the child to one of the following: 
    (1) a child placing agency; or 
    (2) the county welfare board; or 
    (3) a reputable individual of good moral character.  No 
person may receive custody of two or more unrelated children 
unless licensed as a residential facility pursuant to sections 
245.781 to 245.812; or 
     (4) a county home school, if the county maintains a home 
school or enters into an agreement with a county home school; or 
     (5) a county probation officer for placement in a group 
foster home established under the direction of the juvenile 
court and licensed pursuant to section 241.021; 
     (d) Transfer legal custody by commitment to the 
commissioner of corrections; 
     (e) If the child is found to have violated a state or local 
law or ordinance which has resulted in damage to the person or 
property of another, the court may order the child to make 
reasonable restitution for such damage; 
     (f) Require the child to pay a fine of up to $700; the 
court shall order payment of the fine in accordance with a time 
payment schedule which shall not impose an undue financial 
hardship on the child; 
     (g) If the child is in need of special treatment and care 
for reasons of physical or mental health, the court may order 
the child's parent, guardian, or custodian to provide it.  If 
the parent, guardian, or custodian fails to provide this 
treatment or care, the court may order it provided; 
     (h) If the court believes that it is in the best interests 
of the child and of public safety that the driver's license of 
the child be canceled until the child's 18th birthday, the court 
may recommend to the commissioner of public safety the 
cancellation of the child's license for any period up to the 
child's 18th birthday, and the commissioner is hereby authorized 
to cancel such license without a hearing.  At any time before 
the termination of the period of cancellation, the court may, 
for good cause, recommend to the commissioner of public safety 
that the child be authorized to apply for a new license, and the 
commissioner may so authorize. 
    If the child is petitioned and found by the court to have 
committed or attempted to commit an act in violation of section 
609.342, 609.343, 609.344, or 609.345, the court shall order an 
independent professional assessment of the child's need for sex 
offender treatment.  An assessor providing an assessment for the 
court may not have any direct or shared financial interest or 
referral relationship resulting in shared financial gain with a 
treatment provider.  If the assessment indicates that the child 
is in need of and amenable to sex offender treatment, the court 
shall include in its disposition order a requirement that the 
child undergo treatment. 
    Any order for a disposition authorized under this section 
shall contain written findings of fact to support the 
disposition ordered, and shall also set forth in writing the 
following information: 
    (a) why the best interests of the child are served by the 
disposition ordered; and 
    (b) what alternative dispositions were considered by the 
court and why such dispositions were not appropriate in the 
instant case.

    Sec. 37.  Minnesota Statutes Second 1989 Supplement,

taxes levied in 1989 payable in 1990 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.  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; 
    (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; and. 
    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; and 
    (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). 
    If the amount levied 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.

amended to read:

interest, and includes accounts and chattel paper which have 
been sold; 
    (d) "Debtor" means the person who owes payment or other

or lease and is of a type which is in ordinary course of 
business transferred by delivery with any necessary endorsement 
or assignment; 
    (j) "Mortgage" means a consensual interest created by a 
real estate mortgage, a trust deed on real estate, or the like;

    (l) "Security agreement" means an agreement which creates 
or provides for a security interest; 
    (m) "Secured party" means a lender, seller or other person 
in whose favor there is a security interest, including a person

following heads: 
    (1) ordinary expenses (for operation, maintenance, and 
repairs); (2) payment of principal and interest on bonds and

Ordinary expenses shall be subdivided into:  (a) salaries and 
wages, with a list of all salaried offices and positions,

each; (b) other expenses, with sufficient detail to be readily

estimated for the balance of the year.  In addition to the 
estimates of expenditures, the budget shall include for each 
budgeted fund a statement of the revenues which have accrued for 
the past two completed fiscal years with the amount collected 
and the uncollected balances together with the same information, 
based in so far as necessary on estimates, for the current 
fiscal year, and an estimate of the revenues for the ensuing 
fiscal year.  The statement of revenues for each year shall

the estimates such explanatory statement or statements as the 
manager may deem necessary, and during the first three years of

such comparisons of the city's finances with those of the 
previous government of the city as may be feasible and pertinent.

shall be so conducted as to give interested citizens a 
reasonable opportunity to be heard.  The budget estimates shall 
be read in full and the manager shall explain the various items 
thereof as fully as may be deemed necessary by the council.  The 
annual budget finally agreed upon shall set forth in detail the 
complete financial plan of the city for the ensuing fiscal year 
for the funds budgeted and shall be signed by the majority of 
the council when adopted.  It shall indicate the sums to be 
raised and from what sources and the sums to be spent and for 
what purposes according to the plan indicated in section 
412.701.  The total sum appropriated shall be less than the 
total estimated revenue by a safe margin.  The council shall 
adopt the budget not later than the first day of October by a 
resolution which shall set forth the total for each budgeted 
fund and each department with such segregation as to objects and 
purposes of expenditures as the council deems necessary for 
purposes of budget control.  The council shall also adopt a 
resolution levying whatever taxes it considers necessary within 
statutory limits for the ensuing year for each fund.  The tax 
levy resolution shall be certified to the county auditor in 
accordance with law not later than October 10.  At the beginning 
of the fiscal year, the sums fixed in the budget resolution 
shall be and become appropriated for the several purposes named

prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion, and 
intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, 
not for speculation, but for investment, considering the 
probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income

256.936; 260.251, subdivision 1a; 261.27; or 393.07, subdivision 
1 or 2. 
    Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, when a person 
covered under a policy of accident and sickness insurance, risk 
management plan, nonprofit health service plan, health 
maintenance organization, or self-insured plan receives medical 
benefits according to any statute listed in this section, 
payment for covered services or notice of denial for services 
billed by the provider must be issued directly to the provider.  
If a person was receiving medical benefits through the 
department of human services at the time a service was provided, 
the provider must indicate this benefit coverage on any claim 
forms submitted by the provider to the insurer for those 
services.  If the commissioner of human services notifies the 
insurer that the commissioner has made payments to the provider, 
payment for benefits or notices of denials issued by the insurer 
must be issued directly to the commissioner.  Submission by the 
department to the insurer of the claim on a department of human 
services claim form is proper notice and shall be considered 
proof of payment of the claim to the provider and supersedes any 
contract requirements of the insurer relating to the form of 
submission.  Liability to the insured for coverage is satisfied 
to the extent that payments for those benefits are made by the 
insurer to the provider or the commissioner.

270B.12, subdivision 7, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 7.  [LOTTERY DIVISION.] (a) The commissioner of 
revenue may disclose to the lottery the amount of delinquent 
state taxes, or debt as defined in section 270.03 270A.03,

    Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1989 Supplement, section 
273.119, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [ELIGIBILITY; AMOUNT OF CREDIT.] Land 
located in an agricultural preserve created under chapter 40A is 
eligible for a property tax credit of $1.50 per acre.  To begin 
to qualify for the tax credit, the owner shall file with the 
county by January 2 of any year an application for an 
agricultural preserve restrictive covenant pursuant to section 
40A.10, subdivision 1.  An owner who has given notice of 
termination of the exclusive agricultural use zone under section 
40A.11, subdivision 2, is not eligible for the credit.  The 
assessor shall indicate the amount of the property tax reduction 
on the property tax statement of each taxpayer receiving a 
credit under this section.  The credit paid pursuant to this 
section shall be deducted from the tax due on the property 
before computation of the homestead credit paid pursuant to 
section 273.13 and the state agricultural credit paid pursuant 
to as provided in section 124.2137 273.1393. 
     Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1989 Supplement, section 
273.124, subdivision 13, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 13.  [SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER REQUIRED FOR HOMESTEAD 
APPLICATION.] Every property owner applying for homestead 
classification must furnish to the county assessor that owner's 
social security number.  If the social security number is not 
provided, the county assessor shall classify the property as 
nonhomestead.  The social security numbers of the property 
owners are private data on individuals as defined by section 
13.02, subdivision 12, but, notwithstanding that section, the 
private data may be disclosed to the commissioner of revenue. 
    At the request of the commissioner, each county must give 
the commissioner a list that includes the name and social 
security number of each property owner applying for homestead 
classification.  
    If, in comparing the lists supplied by the counties, the 
commissioner finds that a property owner is claiming more than 
one homestead, the commissioner shall notify the appropriate 
counties.  Within 90 days of the notification, the county 
assessor shall investigate to determine if the homestead 
classification was properly claimed.  If the property owner does 
not qualify, the county assessor shall notify the county auditor 
who will determine the amount of homestead benefits that had 
been improperly allowed.  For the purpose of this section, 
"homestead benefits" means the tax reduction resulting from the 
classification as a homestead under section 273.13, the 
homestead credit under section 273.13 for taxes payable in 1989 
and under section 273.1398 for taxes payable in 1990 and 
thereafter, the taconite homestead credit, and the supplemental 
homestead credit, and the tax reduction resulting from the 
agricultural credit under section 273.132 for taxes payable in 
1989 and under section 273.1398 for taxes payable in 1990 and 
thereafter.  The county auditor shall send a notice to the 
owners of the affected property, demanding reimbursement of the 
homestead benefits plus a penalty equal to 25 percent of the 
homestead benefits.  The property owners may appeal the county's 
determination by filing a notice of appeal with the Minnesota 
tax court within 60 days of the date of the notice from the 
county. 
    If the amount of homestead benefits and penalty is not paid 
within 60 days, and if no appeal has been filed, the county 
auditor shall certify the amount to the succeeding year's tax 
list to be collected as part of the property taxes. 
    Any amount of homestead benefits recovered from the 
property owner must be transmitted to the commissioner by the 
end of each calendar quarter.  Any amount recovered attributable 
to taconite homestead credit shall be transmitted to the St. 
Louis county auditor to be deposited in the taconite property 
tax relief account.  The amount of penalty collected must be 
deposited in the county general fund. 
    The commissioner will provide suggested homestead 
applications to each county.  If a property owner has applied 
for more than one homestead and the county assessors cannot 
determine which property should be classified as homestead, the 
county assessors will refer the information to the commissioner. 
The commissioner shall make the determination and notify the 
counties within 60 days. 
    In addition to lists of homestead properties, the 
commissioner may ask the counties to furnish lists of all 
properties and the record owners. 
    Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1989 Supplement, section

failure to comply with the provisions of sections 319A.01 to 
319A.22 or the rules of any board.  A board through the attorney 
general may institute such suspension or revocation proceedings. 
    Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1989 Supplement, section 
383D.41, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

the powers and duties of a governing body, the chair of the 
county board has all of the powers and duties of a mayor, and 
the area of operation includes the area within the territorial

    Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 1989 Supplement, section 
383D.41, subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 2.  This section shall not limit or restrict any 
existing housing and redevelopment authority or prevent a 
municipality from creating an authority.  The county shall not 
exercise jurisdiction in any municipality where a municipal 
housing and redevelopment authority is established.  A municipal 
housing and redevelopment authority may request the Dakota 
county housing and redevelopment authority to handle the housing 
duties of the authority and, in such an event, the Dakota county 
housing and redevelopment authority shall act and have exclusive 
jurisdiction for housing in the municipality pursuant to the 
provisions of the municipal housing and redevelopment act, 
sections 462.411 to 462.711, and acts amendatory thereof 469.001 
to 469.047.  A transfer of duties relating to housing shall not 
transfer any duties relating to redevelopment.
