2007 Minnesota Statutes

401.12 CONTINUATION OF CURRENT SPENDING LEVEL BY COUNTIES.
Participating counties shall not diminish their current level of spending for correctional
expenses as defined in section 401.01, to the extent of any subsidy received pursuant to sections
401.01 to 401.16; rather the subsidy herein provided is for the expenditure for correctional
purposes in excess of those funds currently being expended. Should a participating county be
unable to expend the full amount of the subsidy to which it would be entitled in any one year
under the provisions of sections 401.01 to 401.16, the commissioner shall retain the surplus,
subject to disbursement in the following year wherein such county can demonstrate a need for
and ability to expend same for the purposes provided in section 401.01. If in any biennium
the subsidy is increased by an inflationary adjustment which results in the county receiving
more actual subsidy than it did in the previous calendar year, the county shall be eligible for that
increase only if the current level of spending is increased by a percentage equal to that increase
within the same biennium.
