(1) On the first $13,620 $16,960, 6 5.5 percent;

(2) On all over $13,620 $16,960, but not over $44,750 $55,730, 8 7.5 percent;

(c) The income taxes imposed by this chapter upon unmarried individuals qualifying as a head of household as defined in section 2(b) of the Internal Revenue Code must be computed by applying to taxable net income the following schedule of rates:

(1) On the first $16,770 $20,890, 6 5.5 percent;

(2) On all over $16,770 $20,890, but not over $67,390 $83,930, 7.5 percent.

(3) On all over $67,390 $83,930, 8.5 percent.

(d) In lieu of a tax computed according to the rates set forth in this subdivision, the tax of any individual taxpayer whose taxable net income for the taxable year is less than an amount determined by the commissioner must be computed in accordance with tables prepared and issued by the commissioner of revenue based on income brackets of not more than $100. The amount of tax for each bracket shall be computed at the rates set forth in this subdivision, provided that the commissioner may disregard a fractional part of a dollar unless it amounts to 50 cents or more, in which case it may be increased to $1.

(e) An individual who is not a Minnesota resident for the entire year must compute the individual's Minnesota income tax as provided in this subdivision. After the application of the nonrefundable credits provided in this chapter, the tax liability must then be multiplied by a fraction in which:

(1) The numerator is the individual's Minnesota source federal adjusted gross income as defined in section 62 of the Internal Revenue Code increased by the addition required for interest income from non-Minnesota state and municipal bonds under section 290.01, subdivision 19a, clause (1), after applying the allocation and assignability provisions of section 290.081, clause (a), or 290.17; and

(2) the denominator is the individual's federal adjusted gross income as defined in section 62 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended through April 15, 1995, increased by the addition required for interest income from non-Minnesota state and municipal bonds under section 290.01, subdivision 19a, clause (1).

Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 290.06, subdivision 2d, is amended to read:

[INFLATION ADJUSTMENT OF BRACKETS.] (a) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1991 1998, the minimum and maximum dollar amounts for each rate bracket for which a tax is imposed in subdivision 2c shall be adjusted for inflation by the percentage determined under paragraph (b). For the purpose of making the adjustment as provided in this subdivision all of the rate brackets provided in subdivision 2c shall be the rate brackets as they existed for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1990 1997, and before January 1, 1992 1999. The rate applicable to any rate bracket must not be changed. The dollar amounts setting forth the tax shall be adjusted to reflect the changes in the rate brackets. The rate brackets as adjusted must be rounded to the nearest $10 amount. If the rate bracket ends in $5, it must be rounded up to the nearest $10 amount.

(b) The commissioner shall adjust the rate brackets and by the percentage determined pursuant to the provisions of section 1(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that in section 1(f)(3)(B) the word "1990 1997" shall be substituted for the word "1987 1992." For 1991 1998, the commissioner shall then determine the percent change from the 12 months ending on August 31, 1990 1997, to the 12 months ending on August 31, 1991 1998, and in each subsequent year, from the 12 months ending on August 31, 1990 1997, to the 12 months ending on August 31 of the year preceding the taxable year. The determination of the commissioner pursuant to this subdivision shall not be considered a "rule" and shall not be subject to the administrative procedure act contained in chapter 14.

Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 290.091, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

Subdivision 1. [IMPOSITION OF TAX.] In addition to all other taxes imposed by this chapter a tax is imposed on individuals, estates, and trusts equal to the excess (if any) of

(4) to the extent not included in federal alternative minimum taxable income, the amount of the tax preference for intangible drilling cost under section 57(a) (2) of the Internal Revenue Code determined without regard to subparagraph (E);

(5) to the extent not included in federal alternative minimum taxable income, the amount of interest income as provided by section 290.01, subdivision 19a, clause (1);

(1) for an individual who is not a married individual and is not a surviving spouse, $112,500;

(2) for a married individual filing a separate return or an estate or a trust, one-half of the amount determined under clause (3);

(3) for an individual filing a joint return or a surviving spouse, $225,000.

Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 1997 Supplement, section 290.091, subdivision 6, is amended to read:

Subd. 6. [CREDIT FOR PRIOR YEARS' LIABILITY.] (a) A credit is allowed against the tax imposed by this chapter on individuals, trusts, and estates equal to the minimum tax credit for the taxable year. The minimum tax credit equals the adjusted net minimum tax for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1988, reduced by the minimum tax credits allowed in a prior taxable year.

(1) the regular tax, over

(2) the greater of (i) the tentative alternative minimum tax, or (ii) zero.

(b) The adjusted net minimum tax for a taxable year equals the lesser of the net minimum tax or the excess (if any) of

(v) the deductions provided in subdivision 2, paragraph (a), clauses (1), (2), and (3) of the second series of clauses, and

(vi) the exemption amount determined under subdivision 3.

Subdivision 1. [SCOPE OF COVERAGE.] This section applies to all health plans, including the coverages described in section 62A.011, subdivision 3, clauses (7) and (10), that are issued or renewed to a Minnesota resident.

Subd. 2. [DEFINITIONS.] (a) For purposes of this section, the terms defined in this subdivision have the meanings given them.

(b) "Medical literature" means articles from major peer reviewed medical journals that have recognized the drug or combination of drugs' safety and effectiveness for treatment of the indication for which it has been prescribed. Each article shall meet the uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals established by the international committee of medical journal editors or be published in a journal specified by the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services pursuant to United States Code, title 42, section 1395x, paragraph (t), clause (2), item (B), as amended, as acceptable peer review medical literature. Each article must use generally acceptable scientific standards and must not use case reports to satisfy this criterion.

(c) "Off-label use of drugs" means when drugs are prescribed for treatments other than those stated in the labeling approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration.

(d) "Standard reference compendia" means:

(1) the United States Pharmacopeia Drug Information; or

(2) the American Hospital Formulary Service Drug Information.

Subd. 3. [REQUIRED COVERAGE.] (a) Every type of coverage included in subdivision 1 that provides coverage for drugs may not exclude coverage of a drug for the treatment of cancer on the ground that the drug has not been approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of cancer if the drug is recognized for treatment of cancer in one of the standard reference compendia or in one article in the medical literature, as defined in subdivision 2.

(c) Coverage required by this subdivision does not include coverage of a drug not listed on the formulary of the coverage included in subdivision 1.

(d) Coverage of a drug required under this subdivision must not be subject to any copayment, coinsurance, deductible, or other enrollee cost-sharing greater than the coverage included in subdivision 1 applies to other drugs.

(e) The commissioner of commerce or health, as appropriate, may direct a person that issues coverage included in subdivision 1 to make payments required by this section.

Subd. 4. [CONSTRUCTION.] This section must not be construed to:

(1) alter existing law limiting the coverage of drugs that have not been approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration;

(2) require coverage for any drug when the federal Food and Drug Administration has determined its use to be contraindicated;

(3) require coverage for experimental drugs not otherwise approved for any indication by the federal Food and Drug Administration; or

(4) reduce or limit coverage for off-label use of drugs otherwise required by law or contract.

Sec. 2. [EFFECTIVE DATE; APPLICATION.]

Section 1 is effective January 1, 1999, and applies to coverage issued or renewed on or after that date."
