Rhodes moved to amend S. F. No. 735 as follows:

Delete everything after the enacting clause and insert:

"Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 473.511, subdivision 4, is amended to read:

the council in the manner provided in this subdivision at the time the council acquires it. The original cost of a facility shall be computed as the total actual costs of constructing it, including engineering, legal, and administrative costs, less any part of it paid from federal or state funds and less the principal amount of any then outstanding bonds which were issued to finance its construction. The original cost shall be multiplied by a factor equal to a current cost index divided by the same cost index at the time of construction, to determine replacement cost. The cost indices used shall be the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Indices for facilities or parts thereof completed before 1930, and the United States Public Health Service Federal Water Pollution Control Values for Sewer and Treatment Plant Construction, as applied to facilities or parts thereof completed in or after 1930. The current value of the facility shall be the replacement cost depreciated by 2.50 percent per annum from the date of construction of treatment works and 1.25 percent per annum from the date of construction of interceptors; and decreased further by a reasonable allowance for obsolescence if the council determines that the facility or any part thereof will not be useful for council purposes for at least the remaining period required to depreciate it fully, assuming no salvage value. The current value of each such facility shall be credited to each local government unit in proportion to the amount of the construction cost paid by that unit, as determined by the council, taking into account reimbursements previously made under contracts between any of the local government units. The council shall prepare an itemized statement of the amount of credit each local government unit is entitled to receive under this subdivision, and the years and amounts of installments of principal and interest thereon, and shall cause it to be mailed or delivered to the governing body of each local government unit concerned. All credits allowed under this subdivision shall be used to finance current costs allocated to the local government unit by the council or for other sewer costs, and the credits shall not be considered as proceeds from the sale of municipal property so as to permit their use for other purposes. At its option, the council may make a periodic payment to each local government unit in the amount of the credits provided under this subdivision, in place of a credit against amounts to be allocated to those local government units under section 473.517.

Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 473.517, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

Subdivision 1. [CURRENT COSTS DEFINED.] The estimated costs of operation, maintenance, and debt service of the metropolitan disposal system to be paid by the council in each fiscal year, and the costs of acquisition and betterment of the system which are to be paid during the year from funds other than bond proceeds, including all expenses incurred by the council pursuant to sections 473.501 to 473.545, are referred to in this section as current costs, and shall be allocated in the budget for that year to the respective local government units in the metropolitan area as provided in subdivisions 2 to 6. The amount budgeted by the council for any year for a reserve or contingency fund must be treated as a current cost and allocated as a cost of operation and maintenance in accordance with this section. The reserve or contingency fund so established may not exceed an amount equal to 7.5 percent of the council's waste control operating budget in total. The amount budgeted by the council for any year for cash flow management must be treated as a current cost and allocated as a cost of operation and maintenance in accordance with this section. The cash flow management fund so established must not exceed the amount that is five percent of the council's total waste control operating budget.

Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 473.517, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

Subd. 2. [ALLOCATION OF TREATMENT, INTERCEPTOR COSTS; ADJUSTED VOLUME.] Except as provided in subdivision 3, the current costs of all treatment works and interceptors in the metropolitan disposal system shall be allocated among and paid by all local government units which will discharge sewage, directly or indirectly, into the metropolitan disposal system during the budget year, in proportion to the total volume estimated to be so discharged by each local government unit, adjusted as follows:

(a) increased or decreased, as the case may be, to the extent the council determines, on the basis of such historical and reasonably projected data as may be available, that the sewage discharged by one unit will require more or less treatment to produce a suitable effluent than that discharged by others;

(b) decreased by any amount of surface water estimated by the council to be discharged by a local government unit from a combined storm and sanitary sewer system;

(c) increased by that volume of normal sanitary sewage which is equivalent for treatment purposes to the volume of surface water referred to in clause (b), as determined by the council from available engineering data; and

For each budget year, the council shall estimate the total volume of sewage that will be discharged, directly or indirectly, into the metropolitan disposal system during that budget year. Based on the estimate of total volume of discharge for the budget year and on the current costs, the council shall establish a cost per gallon of discharge into the metropolitan disposal system. During the budget year, the council shall charge each local government unit on a monthly basis for the current costs based on the per gallon rate established pursuant to this section applied to the discharge volume allocated for the month to each local government unit. The discharge volume allocated to each local government unit for each month of the budget year shall consist of the average monthly discharge volume for the local government unit, as measured, calculated, or otherwise determined by the council, which occurred in the annual quarter previous to the annual quarter that immediately precedes the billing month. If the council is unable to measure or calculate the actual average monthly discharge for any local government unit in the quarter, it may provisionally allocate discharge volume in the billing month on the basis of estimated discharge volume during the applicable annual quarter. Then the local government unit shall be credited or charged the difference between the estimated and actual discharge volume in the monthly billing that next occurs after determination of the actual discharge volume.

Sec. 4. [APPLICATION.]

Sections 1 to 3 apply in the counties of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington.

Sec. 5. [EFFECTIVE DATE.]

Sections 1 and 2 are effective the day after final enactment. Section 3 is effective January 1, 1998, for allocation of costs on and after that date."

Subd. 14. [CANCELLATION OF REGISTRATION IN GOOD STANDING.] (a) A registrant holding active registration as a respiratory care practitioner in the state may, upon approval of the board, be granted registration cancellation if the board is not investigating the person as a result of a complaint or information received or if the board has not begun disciplinary proceedings against the registrant. Such action by the board shall be reported as a cancellation of registration in good standing.

Leighton moved to amend S. F. No. 575 as follows:

Delete everything after the enacting clause and insert:

"Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 181.953, subdivision 6, is amended to read:

Subd. 6. [RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES AND JOB APPLICANTS.] (a) Before requesting an employee or job applicant to undergo drug or alcohol testing, an employer shall provide the employee or job applicant with a form, developed by the employer, on which to (1) acknowledge that the employee or job applicant has seen the employer's drug and alcohol testing policy, and (2) indicate any over-the-counter or prescription medications that the individual is currently taking or has recently taken and any other information relevant to the reliability of, or explanation for, a positive test result.

(b) If an employee or job applicant tests positive for drug use, the employee must be given written notice of the right to explain the positive test and the employer may request that the employee or job applicant indicate any over-the-counter or prescription medication that the individual is currently taking or has recently taken and any other information relevant to the reliability of, or explanation for, a positive test result.

(c) Within three working days after notice of a positive test result on a confirmatory test, the employee or job applicant may submit information to the employer, in addition to any information already submitted under paragraph (a) (b), to explain that result, or may request a confirmatory retest of the original sample at the employee's or job applicant's own expense as provided under subdivision 9.

Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 181.961, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

Subd. 2. [TIME; LOCATION; CONDITION; COPY.] (a) The employer shall comply with a written request pursuant to subdivision 1 no later than seven working days after receipt of the request if the personnel record is located in this state, or no later than 14 working days after receipt of the request if the personnel record is located outside this state.

(b) With respect to current employees, the personnel record or an accurate copy must be made available for review by the employee during the employer's normal hours of operation at the employee's place of employment or other reasonably nearby location, but need not be made available during the employee's working hours. The employer may require that the review be made in the presence of the employer or the employer's designee. After the review and upon the employee's written request, the employer shall provide a copy of the record to the employee.

(c) With respect to employees who are separated from employment, upon the employee's written request, the employer shall provide a copy of the personnel record to the employee. Providing a copy of the employee's personnel record to the employee satisfies the employer's responsibility to allow review as stated in subdivision 1.

(d) The employer may not charge a fee for the copy not to exceed the actual cost of making, compiling, and mailing the copy.

Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 184A.20, is amended to read:

184A.20 [PENALTY; PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION.]

A person, firm, or corporation who shall split, divide, or share, directly or indirectly, a fee, charge, or compensation received from an employee with an employer, or person in any way connected with the business, shall be punished by a fine of not less than $500, and not more than $3,000, or, on failure to pay the fine, by imprisonment for a period not to exceed one year, or both, at the discretion of the court.

Subd. 2. [PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION.] A person who violates any provision of sections 184A.01 to 184A.20 or any rule or order thereunder is liable for actual damages, for rescission, or other relief as the court may deem appropriate. The prevailing party in any suit authorized under this section may recover costs and disbursements plus reasonable attorney fees, in addition to any other relief granted. The rights and remedies provided by this chapter are in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may exist at law or in equity."

For those drycleaning facilities that were in business less than the 12-month period, full-time equivalence means the total of all of the hours worked at duties related to the drycleaning operation in the drycleaning facility, divided by 2,000 and multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is 50 and the denominator of which is the number of weeks in business during the reporting period.

Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 115B.49, subdivision 4, is amended to read:

Subd. 4. [REGISTRATION; FEES.] (a) The owner or operator of a drycleaning facility shall register on or before July 1 of each year with the commissioner of revenue in a manner prescribed by the commissioner of revenue and pay a registration fee for the facility. The amount of the fee is:

(b) A person who sells drycleaning solvents for use by drycleaning facilities in the state shall collect and remit to the commissioner of revenue in a manner prescribed by the commissioner of revenue, on or before the 20th day of the month following the month in which the sales of drycleaning solvents are made, a fee of:

(1) $3.50 for each gallon of perchloroethylene sold for use by drycleaning facilities in the state; and

(2) 70 cents for each gallon of hydrocarbon-based drycleaning solvent sold for use by drycleaning facilities in the state.

(c) The commissioner shall, after a public hearing but notwithstanding section 16A.1285, subdivision 4, annually adjust the fees in this subdivision as necessary to maintain an unencumbered balance in the account annual income of at least $1,000,000:

(1) $600,000 beginning July 1, 1997;

(2) $700,000 beginning July 1, 1998; and

(3) $800,000 beginning July 1, 1999.

Any adjustment under this paragraph must be prorated among all the fees in this subdivision. Fees adjusted under this paragraph may not exceed 200 percent of the fees in this subdivision After adjustment under this paragraph, the fees in this subdivision must not be greater than two times their original amount. The commissioner shall notify the commissioner of revenue of an adjustment under this paragraph no later than March 1 of the year in which the adjustment is to become effective. The adjustment is effective for sales of drycleaning solvents made, and annual registration fees due, beginning on July 1 of the same year.

(d) To enforce this subdivision, the commissioner of revenue may examine documents, assess and collect fees, conduct investigations, issue subpoenas, grant extensions to file returns and pay fees, impose penalties and interest on the annual registration fee under paragraph (a) and the monthly fee under paragraph (b), abate penalties and interest, and administer appeals, in the manner provided in chapters 270 and 289A. The penalties and interest imposed on taxes under chapter 297A apply to the fees imposed under this subdivision. Disclosure of data collected by the commissioner of revenue under this subdivision is governed by chapter 270B."
