        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
           Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 268.059, is 
        amended to read: 
           268.059 [GARNISHMENT FOR DELINQUENT TAXES AND BENEFIT 
        OVERPAYMENTS.] 
           (a) The commissioner may give notice to any employer that 
        an employee owes delinquent taxes, payments in lieu of taxes, or 
        overpaid benefits, including penalties, interest, and costs, and 
        that the obligation to the department should be withheld from 
        the employee's wages.  The commissioner may proceed only if the 
        tax, payment in lieu of taxes, or benefit overpayment is 
        uncontested or if the time for any appeal has expired.  The 
        commissioner shall not proceed until 30 calendar days after 
        mailing to the debtor employee, at the debtor's last known 
        address, a written notice of intent to garnish wages and 
        exemption notice.  That notice shall list: 
           (1) the amount of taxes, payments in lieu of taxes, 
        overpaid benefits, interest, penalties, or costs due from the 
        debtor; 
           (2) demand for immediate payment; and 
           (3) the intention to serve a garnishment notice on the 
        debtor's employer. 
           The notice shall expire 180 calendar days after it has been 
        mailed to the debtor provided that the notice may be renewed by 
        mailing a new notice that is in accordance with this section.  
        The renewed notice shall have the effect of reinstating the 
        priority of the original notice.  The exemption notice shall be 
        in substantially the same form as in section 571.72.  The notice 
        shall inform the debtor of the right to claim exemptions 
        contained in section 550.37, subdivision 14.  If no written 
        claim of exemption is received by the commissioner within 30 
        calendar days after mailing of the notice, the commissioner may 
        proceed with the garnishment.  The notice to the debtor's 
        employer may be served by mail and shall be in substantially the 
        same form as in section 571.75.  Upon receipt of the garnishment 
        notice, the employer shall withhold from the earnings due or to 
        become due to the employee, the amount shown on the notice plus 
        accrued interest, subject to section 571.922.  The employer 
        shall continue to withhold each pay period the amount shown on 
        the notice plus accrued interest until the garnishment notice is 
        released by the commissioner.  Upon receipt of notice by the 
        employer, the claim of the commissioner shall have priority over 
        any subsequent garnishments or wage assignments.  The 
        commissioner may arrange between the employer and employee for 
        withholding a portion of the total amount due the employee each 
        pay period, until the total amount shown on the notice plus 
        accrued interest has been withheld. 
           The "earnings due" any employee is as defined in section 
        571.921.  The maximum garnishment allowed for any one pay period 
        shall be decreased by any amounts payable pursuant to any other 
        garnishment action served prior to the garnishment notice, and 
        any amounts covered by any irrevocable and previously effective 
        assignment of wages; the employer shall give notice to the 
        commissioner of the amounts and the facts relating to the 
        assignment within ten days after the service of the garnishment 
        notice on the form provided by the commissioner. 
           (b) If the employee ceases to be employed by the employer 
        before the full amount set forth on the garnishment notice plus 
        accrued interest has been withheld, the employer shall 
        immediately notify the commissioner in writing of the 
        termination date of the employee and the total amount withheld.  
        No employer may discharge or discipline any employee because the 
        commissioner has proceeded under this section.  If an employer 
        discharges an employee in violation of this section, the 
        employee shall have the same remedy as provided in section 
        571.927, subdivision 2. 
           (c) Within ten calendar days after the expiration of the 
        pay period, the employer shall remit to the commissioner, on a 
        form and in the manner prescribed by the commissioner, the 
        amount withheld during each pay period. 
           (d) Paragraphs (a) to (c) shall apply if the employer is 
        the state of Minnesota or any political subdivision. 
           (e) The commissioner shall refund to the employee any 
        excess amounts withheld from the employee. 
           (f) An employer that fails or refuses to comply with this 
        section shall be liable as provided in section 268.058, 
        subdivision 3 2, paragraph (i) (j).

           (2) the manufacturer does not sell the pull-tab games to 
        any distributor in Minnesota; 
           (3) a Minnesota statute or rule prohibits the sale; or 
           (4) the distributor is delinquent on any payment owed to 
        the manufacturer. 
           Sec. 3.  [CORRECTION 2.] Laws 2000, chapter 296, section 1, 
        is amended to read: 
           Section 1.  [STUDY ON REIMBURSEMENT FOR SPECIAL 
        TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS.] 
           The commissioner of human services, in consultation with 
        special transportation providers, shall prepare a study on 
        appropriate reimbursement for special transportation providers.  
        The study shall include, but not be limited to, an analysis of 
        the cost characteristics of special transportation services, 
        including the differences in costs for services provided to: 
           (1) persons who need a wheelchair lift or ramp van; 
           (2) persons who need a stretcher-equipped vehicle; 
           (3) persons who are ambulatory with assistance multiple 
        door through multiple door doors;

           (5) persons residing in rural areas; and 
           (6) persons residing in urban areas. 
        The commissioner shall make recommendations for reimbursement 
        rates for services to persons in clauses (1) to (6), based 
        primarily on the analysis of service cost characteristics, 
        capital cost characteristics, and industry growth cost 
        characteristics.  The commissioner shall present the study to 
        the legislature no later than September 15, 2000. 
           Sec. 4.  [CORRECTION 6.] Laws 2000, chapter 444, article 1,

           Upon request of both parties the court must modify an order 
        entered under section 518.17 or 518.175 before the effective 
        date of this act section by entering a parenting plan that 
        complies with section 518.1705, unless the court makes detailed 
        findings that entering a parenting plan is not in the best 
        interests of the child.  If only one party makes the request, 
        the court may modify the order by entering a parenting plan that 
        complies with section 518.1705.  The court must apply the 
        standards in section 518.18 when considering a motion to enter a 
        parenting plan that would change the child's primary residence.  
        The court must apply the standards in section 518.17 when 
        considering a motion to enter a parenting plan that would: 
           (1) change decision-making responsibilities of the parents; 
        or 
           (2) change the time each parent spends with the child, but 
        not change the child's primary residence.

        rebate.  The commissioner shall determine the qualifying taxes 
        paid and rebate the lesser of: 
           (1) 69.0 percent of that amount; or 
           (2) the maximum amount for which the claimant would have 
        been eligible as determined under paragraph (b) if the taxpayer 
        filed the 1997 federal income tax return as a married taxpayer 
        filing jointly or head of household, or as determined under 
        paragraph (c) for other taxpayers. 
           (e) "Income," for purposes of this section other than 
        paragraph (d), is taxable income as defined in section 63 of the 
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended through December 31, 
        1996, plus the sum of any additions to federal taxable income 
        for the taxpayer under Minnesota Statutes, section 290.01, 
        subdivision 19a, and reported on the original 1997 income tax 
        return including subsequent adjustments to that return made 
        within the time limits specified in paragraph (h).  For an 
        individual who was a resident of Minnesota for less than the 
        entire year, the sales tax rebate equals the sales tax rebate 
        calculated under paragraph (b) or (c) multiplied by the 
        percentage determined pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 
        290.06, subdivision 2c, paragraph (e), as calculated on the 
        original 1997 income tax return including subsequent adjustments 
        to that return made within the time limits specified in 
        paragraph (h).  For purposes of paragraph (d), "income" is 
        taxable income as defined in section 63 of the Internal Revenue 
        Code of 1986, as amended through December 31, 1996, and reported 
        on the taxpayer's original federal tax return for the first 
        taxable year beginning after December 31, 1996. 
           (f) An individual who would have been eligible for a rebate 
        under paragraph (a), clause (1) or (2), or (d) had the 
        individual filed a 1997 Minnesota income tax return or claim 
        form by June 15, 1999, who files the return or claim form by 
        June 30, 2000, is eligible for the rebate amount under (i) 
        paragraph (b) as adjusted by paragraph (h) if the individual is 
        was a resident of Minnesota for any part of 1997 and filed as 
        either married filing joint or head of household and the rebate 
        amount under, (ii) paragraph (c) as adjusted by paragraph (h) if 
        the individual is was a resident of Minnesota for any part of 
        1997 and filed as either married filing separately separate or 
        single, or (iii) paragraph (d) if the individual was a 
        nonresident in 1997. 
           (g) For a fiscal year taxpayer, the June 15, 1999, dates in 
        paragraphs (a) through (d) are extended one month for each month 
        in calendar year 1997 that occurred prior to the start of the 
        individual's 1997 fiscal tax year. 
           (h) Before payment, the commissioner of revenue shall 
        adjust the rebate as follows: 
           (1) the rebates calculated in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) 
        must be proportionately reduced to account for 1997 income tax 
        returns that are filed on or after January 1, 1999, but before 
        July 1, 1999, so that the amount of sales tax rebates payable 
        under paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) does not exceed 
        $1,250,000,000; and 
           (2) the commissioner of finance shall certify by July 15, 
        1999, preliminary fiscal year 1999 general fund net nondedicated 
        revenues.  The certification shall exclude the impact of any 
        legislation enacted during the 1999 regular session.  If 
        certified net nondedicated revenues exceed the amount forecast 
        in February 1999, up to $50,000,000 of the increase shall be 
        added to the total amount rebated.  The commissioner of revenue 
        shall adjust all rebates proportionally to reflect any 
        increases.  The total amount of the rebate shall not exceed 
        $1,300,000,000. 
        The adjustments under this paragraph are not rules subject to 
        Minnesota Statutes, chapter 14. 
           (i) The commissioner of revenue may begin making sales tax 
        rebates by August 1, 1999.  Sales tax rebates not paid by 
        October 1, 1999, bear interest at the rate specified in 
        Minnesota Statutes, section 270.75.  Sales tax rebates paid to 
        (1) taxpayers who file their original 1997 Minnesota income tax 
        return after June 15, 1999, and (2) qualifying nonresidents who 
        file a claim for rebate after June 15, 1999, 
        bear interest at the rate specified in Minnesota Statutes, 
        section 270.75, beginning October 1, 2000. 
           (j) A sales tax rebate shall not be adjusted based on 
        changes to a 1997 income tax return that are made by order of 
        assessment after June 15, 1999, or made by the taxpayer that are 
        filed with the commissioner of revenue after June 15, 1999. 
           (k) Individuals who filed a joint income tax return for 
        1997 shall receive a joint sales tax rebate.  After the sales 
        tax rebate has been issued, but before the check has been 
        cashed, either joint claimant may request a separate check for 
        one-half of the joint sales tax rebate.  Notwithstanding 
        anything in this section to the contrary, if prior to payment, 
        the commissioner has been notified that persons who filed a 
        joint 1997 income tax return are living at separate addresses, 
        as indicated on their 1998 income tax return or otherwise, the 
        commissioner may issue separate checks to each person.  The 
        amount payable to each person is one-half of the total joint 
        rebate.  If a rebate is received by the estate of a deceased 
        individual after the probate estate has been closed, and if the 
        original rebate check is returned to the commissioner with a 
        copy of the decree of descent or final account of the estate, 
        social security numbers, and addresses of the beneficiaries, the 
        commissioner may issue separate checks in proportion to their 
        share in the residuary estate in the names of the residuary 
        beneficiaries of the estate. 
           (l) The sales tax rebate is a "Minnesota tax law" for 
        purposes of Minnesota Statutes, section 270B.01, subdivision 8. 
           (m) The sales tax rebate is "an overpayment of any tax 
        collected by the commissioner" for purposes of Minnesota 
        Statutes, section 270.07, subdivision 5.  For purposes of this 
        paragraph, a joint sales tax rebate is payable to each spouse 
        equally. 
           (n) If the commissioner of revenue cannot locate an 
        individual entitled to a sales tax rebate by July 1, 2001, or if 
        an individual to whom a sales tax rebate was issued has not 
        cashed the check by July 1, 2001, the right to the sales tax 
        rebate lapses and the check must be deposited in the general 
        fund. 
           (o) Individuals entitled to a sales tax rebate pursuant to 
        paragraph (a), but who did not receive one, and individuals who 
        receive a sales tax rebate that was not correctly computed, must 
        file a claim with the commissioner before July 1, 2000, in a 
        form prescribed by the commissioner.  Taxpayers who file their 
        original 1997 Minnesota income tax return after June 15, 1999, 
        and qualifying nonresidents who file a claim for rebate after 
        June 15, 1999, and who do not receive it or who receive a sales 
        tax rebate that was not correctly computed, must file a claim 
        with the commissioner before July 1, 2001, in a form prescribed 
        by the commissioner.  These claims must be treated as if they 
        are a claim for refund under Minnesota Statutes, section 
        289A.50, subdivisions 4 and 7. 
           (p) The sales tax rebate is a refund subject to revenue 
        recapture under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 270A.  The 
        commissioner of revenue shall remit the entire refund to the 
        claimant agency, which shall, upon the request of the spouse who 
        does not owe the debt, refund one-half of the joint sales tax 
        rebate to the spouse who does not owe the debt. 
           (q) The rebate is a reduction of fiscal year 1999 sales tax 
        revenues.  The amount necessary to make the sales tax rebates 
        and interest provided in this section is appropriated from the 
        general fund to the commissioner of revenue in fiscal year 1999 
        and is available until June 30, 2001. 
           (r) If a sales tax rebate check is cashed by someone other 
        than the payee or payees of the check, and the commissioner of 
        revenue determines that the check has been forged or improperly 
        endorsed or the commissioner determines that a rebate was 
        overstated or erroneously issued, the commissioner may issue an 
        order of assessment for the amount of the check or the amount 
        the check is overstated against the person or persons cashing 
        it.  The assessment must be made within two years after the 
        check is cashed, but if cashing the check constitutes theft 
        under Minnesota Statutes, section 609.52, or forgery under 
        Minnesota Statutes, section 609.631, the assessment can be made 
        at any time.  The assessment may be appealed administratively 
        and judicially.  The commissioner may take action to collect the 
        assessment in the same manner as provided by Minnesota Statutes, 
        chapter 289A, for any other order of the commissioner assessing 
        tax. 
           (s) Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, sections 9.031, 
        16A.40, 16B.49, 16B.50, and any other law to the contrary, the 
        commissioner of revenue may take whatever actions the 
        commissioner deems necessary to pay the rebates required by this 
        section, and may, in consultation with the commissioner of 
        finance and the state treasurer, contract with a private vendor 
        or vendors to process, print, and mail the rebate checks or 
        warrants required under this section and receive and disburse 
        state funds to pay those checks or warrants. 
           (t) The commissioner may pay rebates required by this 
        section by electronic funds transfer to individuals who 
        requested that their 1998 individual income tax refund be paid 
        through electronic funds transfer.  The commissioner may make 
        the electronic funds transfer payments to the same financial 
        institution and into the same account as the 1998 individual 
        income tax refund.

        For capital loans to school districts 
        as provided in Minnesota Statutes,

        The commissioner shall review the 
        proposed plan and budget of the project 
        and may reduce the amount of the loan 
        to ensure that the project will be 
        economical.  The commissioner may 
        recover the cost incurred by the 
        commissioner for any professional 
        services associated with the final 
        review and construction by reducing the 
        proceeds of the loan paid by the 
        district.  The commissioner shall 
        report to the legislature any 
        reductions to the appropriations in 
        this subdivision by January 10, 2001.  
        The commissioner must study how the 
        maximum effort loan program should be 
        restructured to allow more school 
        districts to qualify for capital 
        financing under the current debt 
        service equalization aid program 
        without needing to turn to the maximum 
        effort loan program.  The commissioner 
        must report to the capital investment 
        and K-12 education finance committees 
        of the house and the education finance 
        committee and the K-12 education budget 
        division of the senate.  The department 
        must not accept any applications for 
        the maximum effort loan program until 
        after the end of the 2001 legislative 
        session.

        Subd. 3.  Wastewater Infrastructure                            
        Funding Program                                      18,319,000 
        $10,409,000 $6,309,000 of this 
        appropriation is from the general fund 
        of which $319,000 is to administer the 
        wastewater infrastructure fund program. 
        To the public facilities authority for 
        grants to eligible municipalities under 
        the wastewater infrastructure program 
        established in Minnesota Statutes, 
        section 446A.072. 
        To the greatest extent practical, the 
        authority should use the grants for 
        projects on the 2000 intended use plan 
        in priority order to qualified 
        applicants that submit plans and 
        specifications to the pollution control 
        agency or receive a funding commitment 
        from USDA rural development before 
        December 1, 2001. In determining 
        whether the penalty factor under 
        Minnesota Rules, part 7077.0196, should 
        be applied to a project, the pollution 
        control agency shall, beginning with 
        the 2001 Intended Use Plan and Project 
        Priority list, first assess the impact 
        of the new or expanded discharge 
        compared to the impact of the 
        preexisting conditions and to the 
        impact of alternative discharge 
        locations.  If the agency determines 
        that the new or expanded discharge is 
        to a less environmentally sensitive 
        area or that it is the preferable 
        location for the discharge compared to 
        the alternatives, the agency shall not 
        apply the penalty factor to the project.
        The pollution control agency shall 
        include as a factor in prioritizing 
        projects whether a project is a 
        multijurisdictional project connecting 
        areas with failing onsite treatment 
        systems with an existing or regional 
        wastewater treatment system. 
        The authority shall set aside up to 
        $400,000 for the Innovative Technology 
        Grants Program to provide 50 percent 
        reimbursement for the cost of equipment 
        and installation into an existing 
        municipal wastewater treatment system.  
        The project must be approved by the 
        pollution control agency and 
        demonstrate the application of existing 
        technology that has not been used 
        before in the treatment of municipal 
        wastewater, but has the potential to 
        improve the treatment of wastewater or 
        make the treatment process more cost 
        effective. 
        Beginning with the 2001 intended use 
        plan, the pollution control agency 
        shall include whether a community has a 
        moratorium on development as a factor 
        in prioritizing projects.  The agency 
        shall adopt rules implementing the 
        provisions of this paragraph under 
        Minnesota Statutes, section 14.389.

           Subd. 2.  [LOW-INCOME HOUSING.] (a) The agency may, in 
        consultation with the advisory committee, use money from the 
        housing trust fund account to provide loans or grants for 
        projects for the development, construction, acquisition, 
        preservation, and rehabilitation of low-income rental and 
        limited equity cooperative housing units, including temporary 
        and transitional housing, and homes for ownership.  For purposes 
        of this section, "transitional housing" means housing that is 
        provided for a limited duration not exceeding 24 months, except 
        that up to one-third of the residents may live in the housing 
        for up to 36 months.  Loans or grants for residential housing 
        for migrant farmworkers may be made under this section.  No more 
        than 20 percent of available funds may be used for home 
        ownership projects.  
           (b) A rental or limited equity cooperative permanent 
        housing project must meet one of the following income tests: 
           (1) at least 75 percent of the rental and cooperative units 
        must be rented to or cooperatively owned by persons and families 
        whose income does not exceed 30 percent of the median family 
        income for the metropolitan area as defined in section 473.121, 
        subdivision 2; or 
           (2) all of the units funded by the housing trust fund 
        account must be used for the benefit of persons and families 
        whose income does not exceed 30 percent of the median family 
        income for the metropolitan area as defined in section 473.121, 
        subdivision 2. 
           The median family income may be adjusted for families of 
        five or more. 
           (c) Homes for ownership must be owned or purchased by 
        persons and families whose income does not exceed 50 percent of 
        the metropolitan area median income, adjusted for family size. 
           (d) In making the grants, the agency shall determine the 
        terms and conditions of repayment and the appropriate security, 
        if any, should repayment be required.  To promote the geographic 
        distribution of grants and loans, the agency may designate a 
        portion of the grant or loan awards to be set aside for projects 
        located in specified congressional districts or other 
        geographical regions specified by the agency.  The agency may 
        adopt rules for awarding grants and loans under this subdivision.

        requirements of the TANF block grant 
        specified under United States Code, 
        title 42, section 609(a)(7), the 
        commissioner may only report nonfederal 
        money expended for allowable activities 
        listed in the following clauses as TANF 
        MOE expenditures: 
        (1) MFIP cash and food assistance 
        benefits under Minnesota Statutes, 
        chapter 256J; 
        (2) the child care assistance programs 
        under Minnesota Statutes, sections 
        119B.03 and 119B.05, and county child

        (e), and (j). 
        (b) The commissioner shall ensure that 
        sufficient qualified nonfederal 
        expenditures are made each year to meet 
        the state's TANF MOE requirements.  For 
        the activities listed in paragraph (a), 
        clauses (2) to (6), the commissioner

        excluded from the definition of 
        assistance under Code of Federal 
        Regulations, title 45, section 260.31.  
        If nonfederal expenditures for the 
        programs and purposes listed in 
        paragraph (a) are insufficient to meet 
        the state's TANF MOE requirements, the 
        commissioner shall recommend additional 
        allowable sources of nonfederal 
        expenditures to the legislature, if the 
        legislature is or will be in session to 
        take action to specify additional 
        sources of nonfederal expenditures for 
        TANF MOE before a federal penalty is 
        imposed.  The commissioner shall 
        otherwise provide notice to the 
        legislative commission on planning and 
        fiscal policy under paragraph (d). 
        (c) If the commissioner uses authority 
        granted under Laws 1999, chapter 245, 
        article 1, section 10, or similar 
        authority granted by a subsequent 
        legislature, to meet the state's TANF 
        MOE requirements in a reporting period, 
        the commissioner shall inform the 
        chairs of the appropriate legislative 
        committees about all transfers made 
        under that authority for this purpose. 
        (d) If the commissioner determines that 
        nonfederal expenditures for the 
        programs under Minnesota Statutes, 
        section 256J.025, are insufficient to 
        meet TANF MOE expenditure requirements, 
        and if the legislature is not or will 
        not be in session to take timely action 
        to avoid a federal penalty, the 
        commissioner may report nonfederal 
        expenditures from other allowable 
        sources as TANF MOE expenditures after 
        the requirements of this paragraph are 
        met. 
        The commissioner may report nonfederal 
        expenditures in addition to those 
        specified under paragraph (a) as 
        nonfederal TANF MOE expenditures, but 
        only ten days after the commissioner of 
        finance has first submitted the 
        commissioner's recommendations for 
        additional allowable sources of 
        nonfederal TANF MOE expenditures to the 
        members of the legislative commission 
        on planning and fiscal policy for their 
        review. 
        (e) The commissioner of finance shall 
        not incorporate any changes in federal 
        TANF expenditures or nonfederal 
        expenditures for TANF MOE that may 
        result from reporting additional 
        allowable sources of nonfederal TANF 
        MOE expenditures under the interim 
        procedures in paragraph (d) into the 
        February or November forecasts required 
        under Minnesota Statutes, section 
        16A.103, unless the commissioner of 
        finance has approved the additional 
        sources of expenditures under paragraph 
        (d). 
        (f) The provisions of paragraphs (a) to 
        (e) supersede any contrary provisions 
        in Laws 1999, chapter 245, article 1, 
        section 2, subdivision 10. 
        (g) The provisions of Minnesota 
        Statutes, section 256.011, subdivision 
        3, which require that federal grants or 
        aids secured or obtained under that 
        subdivision be used to reduce any 
        direct appropriations provided by law 
        do not apply if the grants or aids are 
        federal TANF funds.

        article, paragraphs (a) to (g) expire 
        June 30, 2003.

        of the general funds appropriated under 
        this paragraph to the Minnesota housing

        funded by this transfer shall be known 
        as the "Bruce F. Vento Year 2000 
        Affordable Housing Program." Up to 
        $15,000,000 $20,000,000 may be

        paragraph (a), $5,000,000 in fiscal 
        year 2001 and $15,000,000 in fiscal 
        year 2002 is for a loan to Habitat for 
        Humanity of Minnesota, Inc.  The loan 
        shall be an interest-free deferred 
        loan.  The loan shall become due and 
        payable in the event and to the extent 
        that Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota, 
        Inc. does not invest repayments and 
        prepayment of mortgage loans financed 
        with this appropriation in new 
        mortgages for additional homebuyers 
        through Habitat for Humanity of 
        Minnesota, Inc.  To the extent 
        practicable, funding must be allocated 
        to Habitat for Humanity chapters on the 
        basis of the number of MFIP households 
        residing within a chapter's service 
        area compared to the statewide total of 
        MFIP households and on the basis of a 
        chapter's capacity. 
        (c) Of the funds transferred in 
        paragraph (a), $15,000,000 in fiscal 
        year 2001 and $15,000,000 in fiscal 
        year 2002 is for the affordable rental 
        investment fund program under Minnesota 
        Statutes, section 462A.21, subdivision 
        8b.  To the extent practicable, the 
        number of units financed with the 
        appropriation under this paragraph 
        within a city, county, or region shall 
        reflect the number of MFIP households 
        residing within the city, county, or 
        region compared to the statewide total 
        of MFIP households.  This appropriation 
        must be used to finance rental housing 
        units that serve families: 
        (1) receiving MFIP benefits under 
        Minnesota Statutes, section 256J.01, or 
        its successor program; and 
        (2) who have lost eligibility for MFIP 
        due to increased income from employment 
        or due to the collection of child or 
        spousal support under part D of title 
        IV of the Social Security Act. 
        Units produced with this appropriation 
        must remain affordable for a 30-year 
        period. 
        In order to coordinate the availability 
        of housing developed with the 
        appropriation under this paragraph with 
        MFIP families in need of affordable 
        housing, the commissioner of the 
        Minnesota housing finance agency, with 
        the assistance of the commissioner of 
        human services, shall establish 
        cooperative relationships with county

        Statutes, section 256J.08, local 
        employment and training service 
        providers as defined in Minnesota 
        Statutes, section 256J.49, local social 
        service agencies, or other 
        organizations that provide assistance 
        to MFIP households.  
        The commissioner of the Minnesota 
        housing finance agency shall develop 
        strategies to promote occupancy of the 
        units financed by the appropriation 
        under this paragraph by households most 
        in need of subsidized housing.  The 
        strategies shall include provisions 
        that encourage households to move into 
        homeownership or unsubsidized housing 
        as the household secures stable 
        employment and achieves 
        self-sufficiency.  The commissioner of 
        the Minnesota housing finance agency 
        shall consult with interested parties 
        in developing these strategies.  
        (d) The commissioner of the Minnesota 
        housing finance agency and the 
        commissioner of human services shall 
        jointly prepare and submit a report to 
        the governor and the legislature on the 
        results of the funding provided under 
        this section.  The report shall include:
        (1) information on the number of units 
        produced; 
        (2) the household size and income of 
        the occupants of the units at initial 
        occupancy; and 
        (3) to the extent the information is 
        available, measures related to the 
        occupants' attachment to the workforce 
        and public assistance usage, and number 
        of occupant moves. 
        The report must be submitted annually 
        beginning January 15, 2003. 
        (e) Section 6, sunset of uncodified 
        language, does not apply to paragraphs 
        (a) to (d).  Paragraphs (a) to (d) are 
        effective the day following final 
        enactment.

        portion of the Minnesota working family 
        credits provided under Minnesota

        families block grant.  The commissioner 
        of revenue shall provide the 
        commissioner of human services with 
        such expenditure records and 
        information as are necessary to support

        commissioner of human services shall 
        reimburse the commissioner of revenue 
        for the costs of providing the 
        information required by this paragraph. 
        (b) Federal TANF funds, as specified in 
        this paragraph, are appropriated to the 
        commissioner of human services based on 
        calculations under paragraph (a) of

        that qualify for reimbursement from the 
        TANF block grant for income tax refunds 
        payable in federal fiscal years 
        beginning October 1, 1999.  The draws 
        of federal TANF funds shall be made on 
        a regular basis based on calculations 
        of credit expenditures by the 
        commissioner of revenue.  Up to the

        2000, chapter 488, article 9, section 19, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 28.  [NURSING FACILITY RATE INCREASES BEGINNING JULY 
        1, 1999, AND JULY 1, 2000.] (a) For the rate years beginning 
        July 1, 1999, and July 1, 2000, the commissioner shall make 
        available to each nursing facility reimbursed under this section 
        or section 256B.434 an adjustment to the total operating payment 
        rate.  For nursing facilities reimbursed under this section or 
        section 256B.434, the July 1, 2000, operating payment rate 
        increases provided in this subdivision shall be applied to each 
        facility's June 30, 2000, operating payment rate.  For each 
        facility, total operating costs shall be separated into costs 
        that are compensation related and all other costs.  
        Compensation-related costs include salaries, payroll taxes, and 
        fringe benefits for all employees except management fees, the 
        administrator, and central office staff. 
           (b) For the rate year beginning July 1, 1999, the 
        commissioner shall make available a rate increase for 
        compensation-related costs of 4.843 percent and a rate increase 
        for all other operating costs of 3.446 percent. 
           (c) For the rate year beginning July 1, 2000, the 
        commissioner shall make available: 
           (1) a rate increase for compensation-related costs of 3.632 
        percent; 
           (2) an additional rate increase for each case mix payment 
        rate which must be used to increase the per-hour pay rate of all 
        employees except management fees, the administrator, and central 
        office staff by an equal dollar amount and to pay associated 
        costs for FICA, the Medicare tax, workers' compensation 
        premiums, and federal and state unemployment insurance, to be 
        calculated according to clauses (i) to (iii): 
           (i) the commissioner shall calculate the arithmetic mean of 
        the eleven June 30, 2000, operating rates for each facility; 
           (ii) the commissioner shall construct an array of nursing 
        facilities from highest to lowest, according to the arithmetic 
        mean calculated in clause (i).  A numerical rank shall be 
        assigned to each facility in the array.  The facility with the 
        highest mean shall be assigned a numerical rank of one.  The 
        facility with the lowest mean shall be assigned a numerical rank 
        equal to the total number of nursing facilities in the array.  
        All other facilities shall be assigned a numerical rank in 
        accordance with their position in the array; 
           (iii) the amount of the additional rate increase shall be 
        $1 plus an amount equal to $3.13 multiplied by the ratio of the 
        facility's numeric rank divided by the number of facilities in 
        the array; and 
           (3) a rate increase for all other operating costs of 2.585 
        percent.  
           Money received by a facility as a result of the additional 
        rate increase provided under clause (2) shall be used only for 
        wage increases implemented on or after July 1, 2000, and shall 
        not be used for wage increases implemented prior to that date. 
           (d) The payment rate adjustment for each nursing facility 
        must be determined under clause (1) or (2): 
           (1) for each nursing facility that reports salaries for 
        registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, aides, orderlies, 
        and attendants separately, the commissioner shall determine the 
        payment rate adjustment using the categories specified in 
        paragraph (a) multiplied by the rate increases specified in 
        paragraph (b) or (c), and then dividing the resulting amount by 
        the nursing facility's actual resident days.  In determining the 
        amount of a payment rate adjustment for a nursing facility 
        reimbursed under section 256B.434, the commissioner shall 
        determine the proportions of the facility's rates that are 
        compensation-related costs and all other operating costs based 
        on the facility's most recent cost report; and 
           (2) for each nursing facility that does not report salaries 
        for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, aides, 
        orderlies, and attendants separately, the payment rate 
        adjustment shall be computed using the facility's total 
        operating costs, separated into the categories specified in 
        paragraph (a) in proportion to the weighted average of all 
        facilities determined under clause (1), multiplied by the rate 
        increases specified in paragraph (b) or (c), and then dividing 
        the resulting amount by the nursing facility's actual resident 
        days. 
           (e) A nursing facility may apply for the 
        compensation-related payment rate adjustment calculated under 
        this subdivision.  The application must be made to the 
        commissioner and contain a plan by which the nursing facility 
        will distribute the compensation-related portion of the payment 
        rate adjustment to employees of the nursing facility.  For 
        nursing facilities in which the employees are represented by an 
        exclusive bargaining representative, an agreement negotiated and 
        agreed to by the employer and the exclusive bargaining 
        representative constitutes the plan.  For the second rate year, 
        a negotiated agreement constitutes the plan only if the 
        agreement is finalized after the date of enactment of all rate 
        increases for the second rate year.  The commissioner shall 
        review the plan to ensure that the payment rate adjustment per 
        diem is used as provided in paragraphs (a) to (c).  To be 
        eligible, a facility must submit its plan for the compensation 
        distribution by December 31 each year.  A facility may amend its 
        plan for the second rate year by submitting a revised plan by 
        December 31, 2000.  If a facility's plan for compensation 
        distribution is effective for its employees after July 1 of the 
        year that the funds are available, the payment rate adjustment 
        per diem shall be effective the same date as its plan. 
           (f) A copy of the approved distribution plan must be made 
        available to all employees.  This must be done by giving each 
        employee a copy or by posting it in an area of the nursing 
        facility to which all employees have access.  If an employee 
        does not receive the compensation adjustment described in their 
        facility's approved plan and is unable to resolve the problem 
        with the facility's management or through the employee's union 
        representative, the employee may contact the commissioner at an 
        address or phone number provided by the commissioner and 
        included in the approved plan.  
           (g) If the reimbursement system under section 256B.435 is 
        not implemented until July 1, 2001, the salary adjustment per 
        diem authorized in subdivision 2i, paragraph (c), shall continue 
        until June 30, 2001.  
           (h) For the rate year beginning July 1, 1999, the following 
        nursing facilities shall be allowed a rate increase equal to 67 
        percent of the rate increase that would be allowed if 
        subdivision 26, paragraph (a), was not applied: 
           (1) a nursing facility in Carver county licensed for 33 
        nursing home beds and four boarding care beds; 
           (2) a nursing facility in Faribault county licensed for 159 
        nursing home beds on September 30, 1998; and 
           (3) a nursing facility in Houston county licensed for 68 
        nursing home beds on September 30, 1998. 
           (i) For the rate year beginning July 1, 1999, the following 
        nursing facilities shall be allowed a rate increase equal to 67 
        percent of the rate increase that would be allowed if 
        subdivision 26, paragraphs (a) and (b), were not applied: 
           (1) a nursing facility in Chisago county licensed for 135 
        nursing home beds on September 30, 1998; and 
           (2) a nursing facility in Murray county licensed for 62 
        nursing home beds on September 30, 1998. 
           (j) For the rate year beginning July 1, 1999, a nursing 
        facility in Hennepin county licensed for 134 beds on September 
        30, 1998, shall: 
           (1) have the prior year's allowable care-related per diem 
        increased by $3.93 and the prior year's other operating cost per 
        diem increased by $1.69 before adding the inflation in 
        subdivision 26, paragraph (d), clause (2); and 
           (2) be allowed a rate increase equal to 67 percent of the 
        rate increase that would be allowed if subdivision 26, 
        paragraphs (a) and (b), were not applied. 
           The increases provided in paragraphs (h), (i), and (j) 
        shall be included in the facility's total payment rates for the 
        purposes of determining future rates under this section or any 
        other section. 
           Sec. 24.  [CORRECTION 14C.] Minnesota Statutes 1998, 
        section 256B.501, subdivision 13, as added by Laws 2000, chapter 
        488, article 9, section 23, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 13.  [ICF/MR RATE INCREASES BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 
        1999, AND OCTOBER 1, 2000.] (a) For the rate years beginning 
        October 1, 1999, and October 1, 2000, the commissioner shall 
        make available to each facility reimbursed under this section, 
        section 256B.5011, and Laws 1993, First Special Session chapter 
        1, article 4, section 11, an adjustment to the total operating 
        payment rate.  For each facility, total operating costs shall be 
        separated into costs that are compensation related and all other 
        costs.  "Compensation-related costs" means the facility's 
        allowable program operating cost category employee training 
        expenses and the facility's allowable salaries, payroll taxes, 
        and fringe benefits.  The term does not include these same 
        salary-related costs for both administrative or central office 
        employees. 
           For the purpose of determining the adjustment to be granted 
        under this subdivision, the commissioner must use the most 
        recent cost report that has been subject to desk audit. 
           (b) For the rate year beginning October 1, 1999, the 
        commissioner shall make available a rate increase for 
        compensation-related costs of 4.6 percent and a rate increase 
        for all other operating costs of 3.2 percent. 
           (c) For the rate year beginning October 1, 2000, the 
        commissioner shall make available: 
           (1) a rate increase for compensation related costs of 6.5 
        6.6 percent, 45 percent of which shall be used to increase the 
        per-hour pay rate of all employees except administrative and 
        central office employees by an equal dollar amount and to pay 
        associated costs for FICA, the Medicare tax, workers' 
        compensation premiums, and federal and state unemployment 
        insurance provided that this portion of the compensation-related 
        increase shall be used only for wage increases implemented on or 
        after October 1, 2000, and shall not be used for wage increases 
        implemented prior to that date; and 
           (2) a rate increase for all other operating costs of two 
        percent. 
           (d) For each facility, the commissioner shall determine the 
        payment rate adjustment using the categories specified in 
        paragraph (a) multiplied by the rate increases specified in 
        paragraph (b) or (c), and then dividing the resulting amount by 
        the facility's actual resident days.  
           (e) Any facility whose payment rates are governed by 
        closure agreements, receivership agreements, or Minnesota Rules, 
        part 9553.0075, are not eligible for an adjustment otherwise 
        granted under this subdivision.  
           (f) A facility may apply for the compensation-related 
        payment rate adjustment calculated under this subdivision.  The 
        application must be made to the commissioner and contain a plan 
        by which the facility will distribute the compensation-related 
        portion of the payment rate adjustment to employees of the 
        facility.  For facilities in which the employees are represented 
        by an exclusive bargaining representative, an agreement 
        negotiated and agreed to by the employer and the exclusive 
        bargaining representative constitutes the plan.  For the second 
        rate year, a negotiated agreement may constitute the plan only 
        if the agreement is finalized after the date of enactment of all 
        rate increases for the second rate year.  The commissioner shall 
        review the plan to ensure that the payment rate adjustment per 
        diem is used as provided in this subdivision.  To be eligible, a 
        facility must submit its plan for the compensation distribution 
        by December 31 each year.  A facility may amend its plan for the 
        second rate year by submitting a revised plan by December 31, 
        2000.  If a facility's plan for compensation distribution is 
        effective for its employees after October 1 of the year that the 
        funds are available, the payment rate adjustment per diem shall 
        be effective the same date as its plan. 
           (g) A copy of the approved distribution plan must be made 
        available to all employees.  This must be done by giving each 
        employee a copy or by posting it in an area of the facility to 
        which all employees have access.  If an employee does not 
        receive the compensation adjustment described in their 
        facility's approved plan and is unable to resolve the problem 
        with the facility's management or through the employee's union 
        representative, the employee may contact the commissioner at an 
        address or telephone number provided by the commissioner and 
        included in the approved plan.

        (1) MFIP cash and food assistance 
        benefits under Minnesota Statutes, 
        chapter 256J; 
        (2) the child care assistance programs 
        under Minnesota Statutes, sections 
        119B.03 and 119B.05, and county child 
        care administrative costs under

        (3) state and county MFIP 
        administrative costs under Minnesota 
        Statutes, chapters 256J and 256K; 
        (4) state, county, and tribal MFIP 
        employment services under Minnesota

        for the medical assistance without 
        federal financial participation program 
        under Minnesota Statutes, section 
        256B.06, subdivision 4, paragraphs (d), 
        (e), and (j). 
        (b) The commissioner shall ensure that 
        sufficient qualified nonfederal 
        expenditures are made each year to meet 
        the state's TANF MOE requirements.  For 
        the activities listed in paragraph (a), 
        clauses (2) to (6), the commissioner 
        may only report expenditures that are 
        excluded from the definition of 
        assistance under Code of Federal 
        Regulations, title 45, section 260.31.  
        If nonfederal expenditures for the 
        programs and purposes listed in 
        paragraph (a) are insufficient to meet 
        the state's TANF MOE requirements, the 
        commissioner shall recommend additional 
        allowable sources of nonfederal 
        expenditures to the legislature, if the 
        legislature is or will be in session to 
        take action to specify additional 
        sources of nonfederal expenditures for 
        TANF MOE before a federal penalty is 
        imposed.  The commissioner shall 
        otherwise provide notice to the 
        legislative commission on planning and 
        fiscal policy under paragraph (d). 
        (c) If the commissioner uses authority 
        granted under Laws 1999, chapter 245, 
        article 1, section 10, or similar 
        authority granted by a subsequent 
        legislature, to meet the state's TANF 
        MOE requirements in a reporting period, 
        the commissioner shall inform the 
        chairs of the appropriate legislative 
        committees about all transfers made 
        under that authority for this purpose. 
        (d) If the commissioner determines that 
        nonfederal expenditures for the 
        programs under Minnesota Statutes, 
        section 256J.025, are insufficient to 
        meet TANF MOE expenditure requirements, 
        and if the legislature is not or will 
        not be in session to take timely action 
        to avoid a federal penalty, the 
        commissioner may report nonfederal 
        expenditures from other allowable 
        sources as TANF MOE expenditures after 
        the requirements of this paragraph are 
        met. 
        The commissioner may report nonfederal 
        expenditures in addition to those 
        specified under paragraph (a) as 
        nonfederal TANF MOE expenditures, but 
        only ten days after the commissioner of 
        finance has first submitted the 
        commissioner's recommendations for 
        additional allowable sources of 
        nonfederal TANF MOE expenditures to the 
        members of the legislative commission 
        on planning and fiscal policy for their 
        review. 
        (e) The commissioner of finance shall 
        not incorporate any changes in federal 
        TANF expenditures or nonfederal 
        expenditures for TANF MOE that may 
        result from reporting additional 
        allowable sources of nonfederal TANF 
        MOE expenditures under the interim 
        procedures in paragraph (d) into the 
        February or November forecasts required 
        under Minnesota Statutes, section 
        16A.103, unless the commissioner of 
        finance has approved the additional 
        sources of expenditures under paragraph 
        (d). 
        (f) The provisions of paragraphs (a) to 
        (e) supersede any contrary provisions 
        in Laws 1999, chapter 245, article 1, 
        section 2, subdivision 10. 
        (g) The provisions of Minnesota

        commissioner shall transfer $50,000,000 
        of the general funds appropriated under 
        this paragraph to the Minnesota housing 
        finance agency for transfer to the 
        housing development fund.  The program 
        funded by this transfer shall be known 
        as the "Bruce F. Vento Year 2000 
        Affordable Housing Program." Up to 
        $15,000,000 may be transferred in 
        fiscal year 2000. 
        (b) Of the funds transferred in 
        paragraph (a), $5,000,000 in fiscal 
        year 2001 and $15,000,000 in fiscal 
        year 2002 is for a loan to Habitat for 
        Humanity of Minnesota, Inc.  The loan 
        shall be an interest-free deferred 
        loan.  The loan shall become due and

        with this appropriation in new 
        mortgages for additional homebuyers 
        through Habitat for Humanity of 
        Minnesota, Inc.  To the extent 
        practicable, funding must be allocated 
        to Habitat for Humanity chapters on the 
        basis of the number of MFIP households 
        residing within a chapter's service 
        area compared to the statewide total of 
        MFIP households and on the basis of a 
        chapter's capacity. 
        (c) Of the funds transferred in 
        paragraph (a), $15,000,000 in fiscal 
        year 2001 and $15,000,000 in fiscal 
        year 2002 is for the affordable rental 
        investment fund program under Minnesota 
        Statutes, section 462A.21, subdivision 
        8b.  To the extent practicable, the 
        number of units financed with the 
        appropriation under this paragraph 
        within a city, county, or region shall 
        reflect the number of MFIP households 
        residing within the city, county, or 
        region compared to the statewide total 
        of MFIP households.  This appropriation 
        must be used to finance rental housing 
        units that serve families: 
        (1) receiving MFIP benefits under 
        Minnesota Statutes, section 256J.01, or 
        its successor program; and or 
        (2) who have lost eligibility for MFIP 
        due to increased income from employment 
        or due to the collection of child or 
        spousal support under part D of title 
        IV of the Social Security Act. 
        Units produced with this appropriation 
        must remain affordable for a 30-year 
        period. 
        In order to coordinate the availability 
        of housing developed with the 
        appropriation under this paragraph with 
        MFIP families in need of affordable 
        housing, the commissioner of the 
        Minnesota housing finance agency, with 
        the assistance of the commissioner of 
        human services, shall establish 
        cooperative relationships with county 
        agencies as defined in Minnesota 
        Statutes, section 256J.08, local 
        employment and training service 
        providers as defined in Minnesota 
        Statutes, section 256J.49, local social 
        service agencies, or other 
        organizations that provide assistance 
        to MFIP households.  
        The commissioner of the Minnesota 
        housing finance agency shall develop 
        strategies to promote occupancy of the 
        units financed by the appropriation 
        under this paragraph by households most 
        in need of subsidized housing.  The 
        strategies shall include provisions 
        that encourage households to move into 
        homeownership or unsubsidized housing 
        as the household secures stable 
        employment and achieves 
        self-sufficiency.  The commissioner of 
        the Minnesota housing finance agency 
        shall consult with interested parties 
        in developing these strategies.  
        (d) The commissioner of the Minnesota 
        housing finance agency and the 
        commissioner of human services shall 
        jointly prepare and submit a report to 
        the governor and the legislature on the 
        results of the funding provided under 
        this section.  The report shall include:
        (1) information on the number of units 
        produced; 
        (2) the household size and income of 
        the occupants of the units at initial 
        occupancy; and 
        (3) to the extent the information is 
        available, measures related to the 
        occupants' attachment to the workforce 
        and public assistance usage, and number 
        of occupant moves. 
        The report must be submitted annually 
        beginning January 15, 2003. 
        (e) Section 6, sunset of uncodified 
        language, does not apply to paragraphs 
        (a) to (d).  Paragraphs (a) to (d) are 
        effective the day following final 
        enactment. 
        [WORKING FAMILY CREDIT.] (a) On a 
        regular basis, the commissioner of 
        revenue, with the assistance of the 
        commissioner of human services, shall 
        calculate the value of the refundable 
        portion of the Minnesota working family 
        credits provided under Minnesota 
        Statutes, section 290.0671, that 
        qualifies for federal reimbursement 
        from the temporary assistance to needy 
        families block grant.  The commissioner 
        of revenue shall provide the 
        commissioner of human services with 
        such expenditure records and 
        information as are necessary to support 
        draws of federal funds.  The 
        commissioner of human services shall 
        reimburse the commissioner of revenue 
        for the costs of providing the 
        information required by this paragraph. 
        (b) Federal TANF funds, as specified in 
        this paragraph, are appropriated to the 
        commissioner of human services based on 
        calculations under paragraph (a) of 
        working family tax credit expenditures 
        that qualify for reimbursement from the 
        TANF block grant for income tax refunds 
        payable in federal fiscal years 
        beginning October 1, 1999.  The draws 
        of federal TANF funds shall be made on 
        a regular basis based on calculations 
        of credit expenditures by the 
        commissioner of revenue.  Up to the 
        following amounts of federal TANF draws 
        are appropriated to the commissioner of
