 30.24     The commissioner may make grants to state agencies and 
 30.25  political subdivisions to construct or rehabilitate facilities 
 30.26  for early childhood programs, with priority to centers in 
 30.27  counties or municipalities with the highest percentage of 
 30.28  children living in poverty.  The commissioner may also make 
 30.29  grants to state agencies and political subdivisions to construct 
 30.30  or rehabilitate facilities for crisis nurseries or child 
 30.31  visitation centers.  The facilities must be owned by the state 
 30.32  or a political subdivision, but may be leased under section 
 30.33  16A.695 to organizations that operate the programs.  The 
 30.34  commissioner must prescribe the terms and conditions of the 
 30.35  leases.  A grant for an individual facility must not exceed 
 30.36  $200,000 for each program that is housed in the facility, up to

 31.7   collaborate with child care providers, including all-day and 
 31.8   school-age child care programs, special needs care, sick child 
 31.9   care, and nontraditional hour care, and centers that serve 
 31.10  refugee and immigrant families.  The commissioner may give

 31.14  $50,000 must utilize youthbuild under sections 268.361 to 
 31.15  268.366 or other youth employment and training programs for the 
 31.16  labor portion of the construction.  Eligible programs must 
 31.17  consult with appropriate labor organizations to deliver 
 31.18  education and training.  State appropriations must be matched on 
 31.19  a 50 percent basis with nonstate funds.  The matching 
 31.20  requirement must apply programwide and not to individual grants.

 31.30  review and comment under section 123B.71, and the commissioner 
 31.31  shall prepare a review and comment on the proposed magnet school 
 31.32  facility, regardless of the amount of the capital expenditure 
 31.33  required to design, acquire, construct, remodel, improve, 
 31.34  furnish, or equip the facility.  The commissioner must not 
 31.35  approve an application for a magnet school grant for any 
 31.36  facility unless the facility receives a favorable review and 
 32.1   comment under section 123B.71 and the participating districts: 
 32.2      (i) establish a joint powers board under section 471.59 to 
 32.3   represent all participating districts and govern the magnet 
 32.4   school facility; 
 32.5      (ii) design the planned magnet school facility to meet the 
 32.6   applicable requirements contained in Minnesota Rules, chapter

 32.14     (2) The districts may develop a plan that permits social 
 32.15  service, health, and other programs serving students and 
 32.16  community residents to be located within the magnet school 
 32.17  facility.  The commissioner shall consider this plan when 
 32.18  preparing a review and comment on the proposed facility.  
 32.19     (c) When two or more districts enter into an agreement 
 32.20  establishing a joint powers board to govern the magnet school 
 32.21  facility, all member districts shall have the same powers.  
 32.22     (d) A joint powers board of participating school districts 
 32.23  established under paragraphs (b) and (c) that intends to apply 
 32.24  for a grant must adopt a resolution stating the costs of the 
 32.25  proposed project, the purpose for which the debt is to be 
 32.26  incurred, and an estimate of the dates when the contracts for 
 32.27  the proposed project will be completed.  A copy of the 
 32.28  resolution must accompany any application for a state grant 
 32.29  under this section. 
 32.30     (e)(1) The commissioner shall examine and consider all 
 32.31  grant applications.  If the commissioner finds that any joint 
 32.32  powers district is not a qualified grant applicant, the 
 32.33  commissioner shall promptly notify that joint powers board.  The 
 32.34  commissioner shall make awards to no more than two qualified 
 32.35  applicants whose applications have been on file with the 
 32.36  commissioner more than 30 days.  
 33.1      (2) A grant award is subject to verification by the joint 
 33.2   powers board under paragraph (f).  A grant award must not be 
 33.3   made until the participating districts determine the site of the 
 33.4   magnet school facility.  If the total amount of the approved 
 33.5   applications exceeds the amount of grant funding that is or can 
 33.6   be made available, the commissioner shall allot the available 
 33.7   amount equally between the approved applicant districts.  The 
 33.8   commissioner shall promptly certify to each qualified joint 
 33.9   powers board the amount, if any, of the grant awarded to it. 
 33.10     (f) Each grant must be evidenced by a contract between the 
 33.11  joint powers board and the state acting through the 
 33.12  commissioner.  The contract obligates the state to pay to the 
 33.13  joint powers board an amount computed according to paragraph 
 33.14  (e)(2) and a schedule, and terms and conditions acceptable to 
 33.15  the commissioner of finance. 
 33.16     (g) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 123B.02, 
 33.17  subdivision 3, the joint powers and its individual members may 
 33.18  enter into long-term lease agreements as part of the magnet
