136A.06 FEDERAL FUNDS.
The Minnesota Office of Higher Education is designated the state agency to apply for,
receive, accept, and disburse to both public and private institutions of higher education all federal
funds which are allocated to the state of Minnesota to support higher education programs,
construction, or other activities and which require administration by a state higher education
agency under the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963, and any amendments thereof, the
Higher Education Act of 1965, and any amendments thereof, and any other law which provides
funds for higher education and requires administration by a state higher education agency as
enacted or may be enacted by the Congress of the United States; provided that no commitment
shall be made that shall bind the legislature to make appropriations beyond current allocations of
funds. The office may apply for, receive, accept, and disburse all administrative funds available to
the office for administering federal funds to support higher education programs, construction,
or other activities. The office also may apply for, receive, accept, and disburse any research,
planning, or program funds which are available for purposes consistent with the provisions of this
chapter. In making application for and administering federal funds the office may comply with
any and all requirements of federal law and federal rules and regulations to enable it to receive
and accept such funds. The expenditure of any such funds received shall be governed by the laws
of the state, except insofar as federal regulations may otherwise provide. The office may contract
with both public and private institutions in administering federal funds, and such contracts shall
not be subject to the provisions of chapter 16C. All such money received by the office shall be
deposited in the state treasury and are hereby appropriated to it annually for the purpose for which
such funds are received. None of such moneys shall cancel but shall be available until expended.
