"Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 290.067, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. [AMOUNT OF CREDIT.] (a) A taxpayer may take as a credit against the tax due from the taxpayer and a spouse, if any, under this chapter an amount equal to the dependent care credit for which the taxpayer is eligible pursuant to the provisions of section 21 of the Internal Revenue Code subject to the limitations provided in subdivision 2 except that:
(1) in determining whether the child qualified as a dependent, income received as a Minnesota family investment program grant or allowance to or on behalf of the child must not be taken into account in determining whether the child received more than half of the child's support from the taxpayer, and the provisions of section 32(b)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code do not apply; and
(2) a dollar limit of $5,000 is substituted for the $2,400 limit under section 21(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code and a dollar limit of $10,000 is substituted for the $4,800 limit under section 21(c)(2) of Internal Revenue.
(b) If a child who has not attained the age of six years at the close of the taxable year is cared for at a licensed family day care home operated by the child's parent, the taxpayer is deemed to have paid employment-related expenses. If the child is 16 months old or younger at the close of the taxable year, the amount of expenses deemed to have been paid equals the maximum limit for one qualified individual under section 21(c) and (d) of the Internal Revenue Code. If the child is older than 16 months of age but has not attained the age of six years at the close of the taxable year, the amount of expenses deemed to have been paid equals the amount the licensee would charge for the care of a child of the same age for the same number of hours of care.
(c) If a married couple:
(1) has a child who has not attained the age of one year at the close of the taxable year;
(2) files a joint tax return for the taxable year; and
(3) does not participate in a dependent care assistance program as defined in section 129 of the Internal Revenue Code, in lieu of the actual employment related expenses paid for that child under paragraph (a) or the deemed amount under paragraph (b), the lesser of (i) the combined earned income of the couple or (ii) $2,400 will be deemed to be the employment related expense paid for that child. The earned income limitation of section 21(d) of the Internal Revenue Code shall not apply to this deemed amount. These deemed amounts apply regardless of whether any employment-related expenses have been paid.
(d) If the taxpayer is not required and does not file a federal individual income tax return for the tax year, no credit is allowed for any amount paid to any person unless:
(1) the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of the person are included on the return claiming the credit; or
(2) if the person is an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and exempt from tax under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the name and address of the person are included on the return claiming the credit.
In the case of a failure to provide the information required under the preceding sentence, the preceding sentence does not apply if it is shown that the taxpayer exercised due diligence in attempting to provide the information required.
In the case of a nonresident, part-year resident, or a person who has earned income not subject to tax under this chapter, the credit determined under section 21 of the Internal Revenue Code must be allocated based on the ratio by which the earned income of the claimant and the claimant's spouse from Minnesota sources bears to the total earned income of the claimant and the claimant's spouse.
Sec. 17. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 290.067, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
Subd. 2. [LIMITATIONS.] The credit for expenses incurred for the care of each dependent shall not exceed
$720 $1,500 in any taxable year, and the total credit for all dependents of a claimant shall not
exceed $1,440 $3,000 in a taxable year. The maximum total credit shall be reduced according to
the amount of the income of the claimant and a spouse, if any, as follows:
income up to $13,350, $720 $50,000, $1,500 maximum for one dependent, $1,440
$3,000 for all dependents;
income over $13,350 $50,000, the maximum credit for one dependent shall be reduced by
$18 $7.50 for every $350 of additional income, $36 $15 for all dependents.
The commissioner shall construct and make available to taxpayers tables showing the amount of the credit at various levels of income and expenses. The tables shall follow the schedule contained in this subdivision, except that the commissioner may graduate the transitions between expenses and income brackets."

Page 45, line 13, before the period, insert "or (ii) file a married joint return, and meet all the qualifications for the credit under section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code except that the earned income of the lesser-earning spouse makes the taxpayer ineligible for the credit under the credit phaseout provisions."

424A.10 [STATE SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT; VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS; AMBULANCE SERVICE PERSONNEL.]
Subdivision 1. [DEFINITION.] For purposes of this section, "qualified recipient" means an individual who receives a lump sum distribution of pension or retirement benefits from a firefighters' relief association for service performed as a volunteer firefighter or a qualified ambulance service person under section 144E.46.
Subd. 2. [PAYMENT OF SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT.] (a) Upon the payment by a firefighters' relief
association of a lump sum distribution to a qualified recipient, the association must pay a supplemental benefit to
the qualified recipient. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the relief association may pay the supplemental
benefit out of its special fund. The amount of this benefit equals ten 20 percent of the regular lump
sum distribution that is paid on the basis of service as a volunteer firefighter. In no case may the amount of the
supplemental benefit exceed $1,000 $2,000.
(b) Upon the payment by the emergency medical services regulatory board of a longevity award to a qualified recipient, the board must pay a supplemental benefit to the qualified recipient. The amount of this benefit equals 20 percent of the amount of the lump sum longevity award that is paid to a recipient under section 144C.46, but not to exceed $2,000.
Subd. 3. [STATE REIMBURSEMENT.] (a) By February 15 of each year, the relief association shall apply to the commissioner of revenue for state reimbursement of the amount of supplemental benefits paid under subdivision 2 during the preceding calendar year. By March 15 the commissioner shall reimburse the relief association for the amount of the supplemental benefits paid to qualified recipients. The commissioner of revenue shall prescribe the form of and supporting information that must be supplied as part of the application for state reimbursement. The reimbursement payment must be deposited in the special fund of the relief association.
(b) To pay the supplemental benefit to qualified ambulance service personnel, the commissioner shall transfer the necessary amounts to the emergency medical services regulatory board upon the request of the board.
(c) A sum sufficient to make the payments is appropriated from the general fund to the commissioner of revenue.
Subd. 4. [IN LIEU OF INCOME TAX EXCLUSION.] The supplemental benefit provided by this section is in lieu of the state income tax exclusion for lump sum distributions of retirement benefits paid to volunteer firefighters. If the law is modified to exclude or exempt volunteer firefighters' lump sum distributions or longevity awards of ambulance service personnel from state income taxation, the supplemental benefits under this section may no longer be paid beginning with the first calendar year in which the exclusion or exemption is effective. This subdivision does not apply to exemption of all or part of a lump sum distribution under section 290.032 or 290.0802."

"Sec. 25. [290.0676] [MINNESOTA HIGHER EDUCATION CREDIT.]
Subdivision 1. [DEFINITIONS.] For purposes of this section, the following terms have the meanings given.
(a) "Qualifying higher education expenses" means tuition and fees of an eligible student for the student's first
or second year of post-secondary education, net of (i) any refunds of tuition and fees received from the institution;
and (ii) employer reimbursement of post-secondary tuition, grants, and scholarships, to the extent the total of these
items exceeds the cost of attendance, as defined in section 136A.121, subdivision 6, after subtracting actual tuition and fees and any federal HOPE scholarship and lifetime learning credits under section 25A of the Internal Revenue Code for which the student is eligible, net of tuition and fees paid for the third year of the student's post-secondary education, if applicable.
(b) "Eligible student" means the (i) taxpayer or spouse, if not claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer; or (ii) person claimed as a dependent of the taxpayer under section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code. An "eligible student" must also be a Minnesota resident enrolled at least half-time in an eligible institution.
(c) "Eligible institution" means any of the following post-secondary institutions located in Minnesota:
(1) a two-year public community college, technical college, or consolidated community/technical college;
(2) a state university;
(3) the University of Minnesota;
(4) a private two- or four-year liberal arts college or university; or
(5) a private nonprofit, degree-granting, two-year vocational technical school.
(d) "Income" means the federal adjusted gross income as defined in section 62 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Subd. 2. [CREDIT ALLOWED.] An individual is allowed a credit against the tax imposed by this chapter equal to 100 percent of qualifying higher education expenses for an eligible student. Only one credit per year is allowed for each eligible student and the maximum credit is $1,000. For married couples filing joint returns, the maximum credit is reduced by five percent for each $1,000 of income over a threshold. For all other taxpayers, the maximum credit is reduced by ten percent for each $1,000 of income over a threshold. For married couples filing joint returns, the threshold is $80,000. For all other taxpayers, the threshold is $40,000. In no case is the credit less than zero. The credit is allowed for two taxable years with respect to each eligible student.
The credit in this section is subtracted from liability before the refundable credits in sections 290.067, 290.0671, and 290.0674 are subtracted.
For a nonresident or part-year resident, the credit determined under this section must be allocated based on the percentage calculated under section 290.06, subdivision 2c, paragraph (e).
Subd. 3. [INFLATION ADJUSTMENT.] The maximum credit amount and the thresholds at which the credit begins to be reduced under subdivision 2 must be adjusted for inflation. The commissioner shall adjust the maximum credit and the threshold amounts by the percentage determined under section 290.06, subdivision 2d, for the taxable year.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This section, subdivisions 1 and 2, are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 1999. This section, subdivision 3, is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2001."

"Section 1. [16A.725] [TOBACCO SETTLEMENT REVENUES.]
Beginning with the payment due December 31, 2003, the commissioner shall credit to the health care access fund all ongoing payments due December 31 of each year that are received by the state as a result of the settlement of the lawsuit styled as State v. Philip Morris Inc., No. C1-94-8565 (Minnesota District Court, Second Judicial District).
Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 60A.15, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. [DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN COMPANIES.] (a) On or before April 1, June 1, and December 1 of each year, every domestic and foreign company, including town and farmers' mutual insurance companies, domestic mutual insurance companies, marine insurance companies, health maintenance organizations, community integrated service networks, and nonprofit health service plan corporations, shall pay to the commissioner of revenue installments equal to one-third of the insurer's total estimated tax for the current year. Except as provided in paragraphs (d), (e), (h), and (i), installments must be based on a sum equal to two percent of the premiums described in paragraph (b).
(b) Installments under paragraph (a), (d), or (e) are percentages of gross premiums less return premiums on all direct business received by the insurer in this state, or by its agents for it, in cash or otherwise, during such year.
(c) Failure of a company to make payments of at least one-third of either (1) the total tax paid during the previous calendar year or (2) 80 percent of the actual tax for the current calendar year shall subject the company to the penalty and interest provided in this section, unless the total tax for the current tax year is $500 or less.
(d) For health maintenance organizations, nonprofit health service plan corporations, and community integrated
service networks, the installments must be based on an amount determined under paragraph (h) or,
(i), or (k).
(e) For purposes of computing installments for town and farmers' mutual insurance companies and for mutual property casualty companies with total assets on December 31, 1989, of $1,600,000,000 or less, the following rates apply:
(1) for all life insurance, two percent;
(2) for town and farmers' mutual insurance companies and for mutual property and casualty companies with total assets of $5,000,000 or less, on all other coverages, one percent; and
(3) for mutual property and casualty companies with total assets on December 31, 1989, of $1,600,000,000 or less, on all other coverages, 1.26 percent.
(f) If the aggregate amount of premium tax payments under this section and the fire marshal tax payments under section 299F.21 made during a calendar year is equal to or exceeds $120,000, all tax payments in the subsequent calendar year must be paid by means of a funds transfer as defined in section 336.4A-104, paragraph (a). The funds transfer payment date, as defined in section 336.4A-401, must be on or before the date the payment is due. If the date the payment is due is not a funds transfer business day, as defined in section 336.4A-105, paragraph (a), clause (4), the payment date must be on or before the funds transfer business day next following the date the payment is due.
(g) Premiums under medical assistance, general assistance medical care, the MinnesotaCare program, and the Minnesota comprehensive health insurance plan and all payments, revenues, and reimbursements received from the federal government for Medicare-related coverage as defined in section 62A.31, subdivision 3, paragraph (e), are not subject to tax under this section.
(h) For calendar years 1997, 1998, and 1999, the installments for health maintenance organizations, community integrated service networks, and nonprofit health service plan corporations must be based on an amount equal to one percent of premiums described under paragraph (b). Health maintenance organizations, community integrated service networks, and nonprofit health service plan corporations that have met the cost containment goals established under section 62J.04 in the individual and small employer market for calendar year 1996 are exempt from payment of the tax imposed under this section for premiums paid after March 30, 1997, and before April 1, 1998. Health maintenance organizations, community integrated service networks, and nonprofit health service plan corporations that have met the cost containment goals established under section 62J.04 in the individual and small employer market for calendar year 1997 are exempt from payment of the tax imposed under this section for premiums paid after March 30, 1998, and before April 1, 1999. Health maintenance organizations, community integrated service networks, and nonprofit health service plan corporations that have met the cost containment goals established under section 62J.04 in the individual and small employer market for calendar year 1998 are exempt from payment of the tax imposed under this section for premiums paid after March 30, 1999, and before January 1, 2000.
(i) For calendar years after 1999 year 2000, the commissioner of finance shall determine the
balance of the health care access fund on September 1 of each year beginning September 1, 1999. If the
commissioner determines that there is no structural deficit for the next fiscal year, no tax shall be imposed under
paragraph (d) for the following calendar year. If the commissioner determines that there will be a structural deficit
in the fund for the following fiscal year, then the commissioner, in consultation with the commissioner of revenue,
shall determine the amount needed to eliminate the structural deficit and a tax shall be imposed under paragraph
(d) for the following calendar year. The commissioner shall determine the rate of the tax as either one-quarter of
one percent, one-half of one percent, three-quarters of one percent, or one percent of premiums described in
paragraph (b), whichever is the lowest of those rates that the commissioner determines will produce sufficient
revenue to eliminate the projected structural deficit. The commissioner of finance shall publish in the State Register
by October 1 of each year the amount of tax to be imposed for the following calendar year. In determining the
structural balance of the health care access fund for fiscal years 2000 and 2001, the commissioner shall disregard
the transfer amount from the health care access fund to the general fund for expenditures associated with the services
provided to pregnant women and children under the age of two enrolled in the MinnesotaCare program.
(j) In approving the premium rates as required in sections 62L.08, subdivision 8, and 62A.65, subdivision 3, the commissioners of health and commerce shall ensure that any exemption from the tax as described in paragraphs (h) and (i) is reflected in the premium rate.
(k) The commissioner of finance shall establish premium tax rates under paragraph (d) for calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, based upon determinations made by the commissioner regarding the balance of the health care access fund. The commissioner of finance shall, on September 1 of each year, beginning September 1, 2000, determine the balance of the health care access fund for the fiscal year that begins the following July 1. If the commissioner determines on September 1 that there is no deficit for the following fiscal year, no tax shall be imposed under paragraph (d) for the calendar year that begins immediately following that September 1. If the commissioner determines on September 1 that there will be a deficit in the fund for the following fiscal year, then the commissioner, in consultation with the commissioner of revenue, shall determine the amount needed to eliminate the deficit and a tax shall be imposed under paragraph (d) for the calendar year that begins immediately following that September 1. The commissioner shall determine the rate of the tax as either one-quarter of one percent, one-half of one percent, three-quarters of one percent, or one percent of the premiums described in paragraph (b), whichever is the lowest of those rates that the commissioner determines will produce sufficient revenue to eliminate the projected deficit. The commissioner of finance shall publish in the State Register by October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2000, the amount of tax to be imposed for the following calendar year. In determining the balance of the health care access fund under this paragraph, the commissioner of finance shall not count revenues resulting from any increase in taxes under section 295.52.
Sec. 3. [62Q.48] [PASS-THROUGH OF SAVINGS TO PURCHASERS.]
Subdivision 1. [PREMIUMS TO REFLECT SAVINGS.] Health plan company premium rates must reflect all savings resulting from:
(1) the contingent elimination of the MinnesotaCare provider taxes under section 295.52, subdivision 8, and the resulting reduction in the transfer of additional expenses generated by section 295.52 obligations to third party contracts under section 295.582; and
(2) the contingent elimination of the tax on nonprofit health plan company premiums under section 60A.15, subdivision 1, paragraph (k).
Subd. 2. [DOCUMENTING COMPLIANCE.] Each health plan company shall annually submit documentation indicating compliance with subdivision 1 to the appropriate commissioner.
Subd. 3. [ENFORCEMENT.] If the appropriate commissioner finds that a health plan company has not complied with subdivision 1, the commissioner may take enforcement action against that health plan company. The commissioner may, by order, require premium rate reductions, fine or censure the health plan company, or revoke or suspend the certificate of authority or license of the health plan company to do business in this state, if the commissioner finds that the health plan company has not complied with this section. The health plan company may appeal the commissioner's order through a contested case hearing in accordance with chapter 14.
Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 290.62, is amended to read:
290.62 [DISTRIBUTION OF REVENUES.]
(a) All revenues derived from the taxes, interest, penalties and charges under this chapter shall, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, be paid into the state treasury and credited to the general fund, and be distributed as follows:
(1) There shall, notwithstanding any other provision of the law, be paid from this general fund all refunds of taxes erroneously collected from taxpayers under this chapter as provided herein;
(2) There is hereby appropriated to the persons entitled to payment herein, from the fund or account in the state treasury to which the money was credited, an amount sufficient to make the refund and payment.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), the commissioner shall deposit 2 percent of net revenues from taxes, interest, penalties and charges in the health care access fund.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This section is effective for revenues received after June 30, 2000."

"Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 295.52, subdivision 7, is amended to read:
Subd. 7. [TAX REDUCTION.] Notwithstanding subdivisions 1, 1a, 2, 3, and 4, the tax imposed under this
section equals for calendar years 1998, 1999, and 2000, and 2001, 1.5 percent of the gross revenues
received on or after January 1, 1998, and before January 1, 2002 2001.
Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 295.52, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:
Subd. 8. [CONTINGENT ELIMINATION OF TAX.] The commissioner shall establish tax rates
for calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, based upon determinations made by the commissioner of
finance regarding the balance of the health care access fund. The commissioner of finance shall, on September 1
of each year, beginning September 1, 2000, determine the balance of the health care access fund for the fiscal year
that begins the following July 1. If the commissioner of finance determines on September 1 that there is no deficit
for the following fiscal year, no taxes shall be imposed under subdivisions 1, 1a, 2, 3, and 4, for the calendar year
that begins immediately following that September 1. If the commissioner of finance determines on September 1 that
there will be a deficit in the fund for the following fiscal year, then the commissioner, in consultation with the
commissioner of finance, shall determine the amount needed to eliminate the deficit and shall impose taxes under subdivisions 1, 1a, 2, 3, and 4 for the calendar year that begins immediately following that September 1. The commissioner shall determine the rate of the tax to the nearest one-quarter of one percent up to two percent, using the lowest of the rates that the commissioner determines will produce sufficient revenue to eliminate the projected deficit. The commissioner shall publish in the State Register by October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2000, the amount of the tax to be imposed for the following calendar year. In determining the balance of the health care access fund under this subdivision, the commissioner of finance shall count revenues resulting from any increase in the one percent premium tax under section 60A.15, subdivision 1, paragraphs (d), (h), (i), and (k)."

homestead credit tax rate adjustment under section 275.08, subdivision 1e, shall be the general education
credit tax rate for the district.
Subd. 1a. [GENERAL EDUCATION HOMESTEAD CREDIT, AGRICULTURAL, AND
SEASONAL RECREATIONAL EXEMPTION.] Each county auditor shall determine a general education
homestead credit exemption amount for each homestead qualifying property within
the county equal to 66.2 percent for taxes payable in 1999 and 83 percent for taxes payable in 2000 and thereafter
of the general education credit tax rate times the net tax capacity of the homestead
property for the taxes payable year. The amount of general education homestead credit for a homestead
may not exceed $320 for taxes payable in 1999 and $390 for taxes payable in 2000 and thereafter. In the case of an
agricultural homestead, only the net tax capacity of the house, garage, and surrounding one acre of land shall be used
in determining the property's education homestead credit. For the purposes of this section, qualifying
property means property classified under section 273.13 as class 1, class 2, or class 4c noncommercial seasonal
residential recreational.
Subd. 1b. [EDUCATION AGRICULTURAL CREDIT.] Property classified as class 2a agricultural homestead
or class 2b agricultural nonhomestead or timberland is eligible for education agricultural credit. The credit is equal
to 54 percent, in the case of agricultural homestead property, or 50 percent, in the case of agricultural nonhomestead
property or timberland, of the property's net tax capacity times the education credit tax rate determined in
subdivision 1. The net tax capacity of class 2a property attributable to the house, garage, and surrounding one acre
of land is not eligible for the credit under this subdivision.
Subd. 2. [CREDIT REIMBURSEMENTS.] (a) The commissioner of revenue shall determine the tax
reductions allowed under this section for each taxes payable year, and for each school district based upon a review
of the abstracts of tax lists submitted by the county auditors under section 275.29, and from any other information
which the commissioner deems relevant. The commissioner of revenue shall generally compute the tax reductions
at the unique taxing jurisdiction level, however the commissioner may compute the tax reductions at a higher
geographic level if that would have a negligible impact, or if changes in the composition of unique taxing
jurisdictions do not permit computation at the unique taxing jurisdiction level. The commissioner's determinations
under this paragraph are not rules.
(b) The commissioner of revenue shall certify the total of the tax reductions granted under this section for each taxes payable year within each school district to the commissioner of children, families, and learning after July 1 and on or before August 1 of the taxes payable year. The commissioner of children, families, and learning shall reimburse each affected school district for the amount of the property tax reductions allowed under this section as provided in section 273.1392. The commissioner of children, families, and learning shall treat the reimbursement payments as entitlements for the same state fiscal year as certified, including with each district's initial payment all amounts that would have been paid up to that date, computed as if 90 percent of the annual reimbursement amount for the district were being paid one-twelfth in each month of the fiscal year.
Subd. 3. [APPROPRIATION.] An amount sufficient to make the payments required by this section is annually appropriated from the general fund to the commissioner of children, families, and learning.
Sec. 20. [273.1387] [HOMESTEAD CREDIT.]
Subdivision 1. [DETERMINATION OF CREDIT AMOUNT.] Each county auditor shall determine a homestead credit amount for each property classified as class 1 residential homestead or class 2a agricultural homestead within the county equal to six percent of the net tax capacity of the first tier of market value of the homestead. In the case of an agricultural homestead, only the net tax capacity of the house, garage, and surrounding one acre of land shall be used in determining the property's homestead credit amount. The credit may not exceed the net tax on the property after subtraction of all other credits under section 273.1393.
Subd. 2. [CREDIT APPLICATION.] The homestead credit shall be used to proportionately reduce the property tax payable to all taxing jurisdictions on the homestead, after subtraction of all other credits under section 273.1393.
Subd. 3. [CREDIT REIMBURSEMENT.] The county auditor shall certify the amount of tax reductions granted under this section to the commissioner of revenue on the abstracts of tax lists submitted under section 275.29. The commissioner of revenue shall verify the credit amounts reported, and shall make payments directly to the affected taxing jurisdictions other than school districts in two equal installments on September 15 and December 26 each year. The commissioner of revenue shall certify the total of the tax reductions granted under this section for each school district to the commissioner of children, families, and learning before September 1 of each taxes payable year. The commissioner of children, families, and learning shall reimburse each affected school district for the amount of the property tax reductions allowed under this section as provided in section 273.1392.
Subd. 4. [APPROPRIATION.] An amount sufficient to pay the credit reimbursements provided under this section for school districts, intermediate school districts, or any group of school districts levying as a single taxing entity, is annually appropriated from the general fund to the commissioner of children, families, and learning. An amount sufficient to pay the credit reimbursements provided under this section for counties, cities, towns, and special taxing districts is annually appropriated from the general fund to the commissioner of revenue. A jurisdiction's aid amount may be increased or decreased based on any prior year adjustments for homestead credit or other property tax credit or aid programs.
Sec. 21. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 273.1393, is amended to read:
273.1393 [COMPUTATION OF NET PROPERTY TAXES.]
Notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary, "net" property taxes are determined by subtracting the credits in the order listed from the gross tax:
(1) disaster credit as provided in section 273.123;
(2) powerline credit as provided in section 273.42;
(3) agricultural preserves credit as provided in section 473H.10;
(4) enterprise zone credit as provided in section 469.171;
(5) disparity reduction credit;
(6) conservation tax credit as provided in section 273.119;
(7) general education homestead credit, agricultural, and seasonal recreational
exemption as provided in section 273.1382;
(8) taconite homestead credit as provided in section 273.135; and
(9) supplemental homestead credit as provided in section 273.1391; and
(10) homestead credit under section 273.1387.
The combination of all property tax credits must not exceed the gross tax amount."

"Sec. 27. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 275.08, subdivision 1e, is amended to read:
Subd. 1e. [GENERAL EDUCATION HOMESTEAD CREDIT TAX RATE ADJUSTMENT.]
The amounts certified under section 126C.48, subdivision 1, paragraph (b), shall be divided by the total net tax
capacity of all taxable properties within a school district's taxing jurisdiction. The resulting ratio is a school district's
general education homestead credit tax rate adjustment.
Sec. 28. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 276.04, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
Subd. 2. [CONTENTS OF TAX STATEMENTS.] (a) The treasurer shall provide for the printing of the tax statements. The commissioner of revenue shall prescribe the form of the property tax statement and its contents. The statement must contain a tabulated statement of the dollar amount due to each taxing authority and the amount of the state determined school tax from the parcel of real property for which a particular tax statement is prepared. The dollar amounts attributable to the county, the state determined school tax, the voter approved school tax, the other local school tax, the township or municipality, and the total of the metropolitan special taxing districts as
defined in section 275.065, subdivision 3, paragraph (i), must be separately stated. The amounts due all other special taxing districts, if any, may be aggregated. The amount of the tax on homesteads qualifying under the senior citizens' property tax deferral program under chapter 290B is the total amount of property tax before subtraction of the deferred property tax amount. The amount of the tax on contamination value imposed under sections 270.91 to 270.98, if any, must also be separately stated. The dollar amounts, including the dollar amount of any special assessments, may be rounded to the nearest even whole dollar. For purposes of this section whole odd-numbered dollars may be adjusted to the next higher even-numbered dollar. The amount of market value excluded under section 273.11, subdivision 16, if any, must also be listed on the tax statement. The statement shall include the following sentences, printed in upper case letters in boldface print: "EVEN THOUGH THE STATE OF MINNESOTA DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY PROPERTY TAX REVENUES, IT SETS THE AMOUNT OF THE STATE-DETERMINED SCHOOL TAX LEVY. THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REDUCES YOUR PROPERTY TAX BY PAYING CREDITS AND REIMBURSEMENTS TO LOCAL UNITS OF GOVERNMENT."
(b) The property tax statements for manufactured homes and sectional structures taxed as personal property shall contain the same information that is required on the tax statements for real property.
(c) Real and personal property tax statements must contain the following information in the order given in this paragraph. The information must contain the current year tax information in the right column with the corresponding information for the previous year in a column on the left:
(1) the property's estimated market value under section 273.11, subdivision 1;
(2) the property's taxable market value after reductions under section 273.11, subdivisions 1a and 16;
(3) the property's gross tax, calculated by adding the property's total property tax to the sum of the aids enumerated in clause (4);
(4) a total of the following aids:
(i) education aids payable under chapters 122A, 123A, 123B, 124D, 125A, 126C, and 127A;
(ii) local government aids for cities, towns, and counties under chapter 477A;
(iii) disparity reduction aid under section 273.1398; and
(iv) homestead and agricultural credit aid under section 273.1398;
(5) for homestead residential and agricultural properties, the general education homestead
credit, agricultural, and seasonal recreational exemption amount under section 273.1382;
(6) any credits received under sections 273.119; 273.123; 273.135; 273.1391; 273.1398, subdivision 4; 469.171;
and 473H.10, except that the amount of credit received under section 273.135 must be separately stated and
identified as "taconite tax relief"; and
(7) the property's homestead credit amount under section 273.1387; and
(8) the net tax payable in the manner required in paragraph (a).
(d) If the county uses envelopes for mailing property tax statements and if the county agrees, a taxing district may include a notice with the property tax statement notifying taxpayers when the taxing district will begin its budget deliberations for the current year, and encouraging taxpayers to attend the hearings. If the county allows notices to be included in the envelope containing the property tax statement, and if more than one taxing district relative to a given property decides to include a notice with the tax statement, the county treasurer or auditor must coordinate the process and may combine the information on a single announcement.
The commissioner of revenue shall certify to the county auditor the actual or estimated aids enumerated in clause (4) that local governments will receive in the following year. The commissioner must certify this amount by January 1 of each year."

"Sec. 26. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 297B.09, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. [GENERAL FUND SHARE.] (a) Money collected and received under this chapter must be
deposited in the state treasury and credited to the general fund. The amounts collected and received shall be
credited as provided in this subdivision, and transferred from the general fund on July 15 and February 15 of each
fiscal year. The commissioner of finance must make each transfer based upon the actual receipts of the preceding
six calendar months and include the interest earned during that six-month period. The commissioner of finance may
establish a quarterly or other schedule providing for more frequent payments to the transit assistance fund if the
commissioner determines it is necessary or desirable to provide for the cash flow needs of the recipients of money
from the transit assistance fund.
(b) Twenty-five percent of the money collected and received under this chapter after June 30, 1990, and before
July 1, 1991, must be transferred to the highway user tax distribution fund and the transit assistance fund for
apportionment as follows: 75 percent must be transferred to the highway user tax distribution fund for apportionment
in the same manner and for the same purposes as other money in that fund, and the remaining 25 percent of the
money must be transferred to the transit assistance fund to be appropriated to the commissioner of transportation
for transit assistance within the state and to the metropolitan council.
(c) The distributions under this subdivision to the highway user tax distribution fund until June 30, 1991, and
to the trunk highway fund thereafter, must be reduced by the amount necessary to fund the appropriation under
section 41A.09, subdivision 1. For the fiscal years ending June 30, 1988, and June 30, 1989, the commissioner of
finance, before making the transfers required on July 15 and January 15 of each year, shall estimate the amount
required to fund the appropriation under section 41A.09, subdivision 1, for the six-month period for which the
transfer is being made. The commissioner shall then reduce the amount transferred to the highway user tax
distribution fund by the amount of that estimate. The commissioner shall reduce the estimate for any six-month
period by the amount by which the estimate for the previous six-month period exceeded the amount needed to fund
the appropriation under section 41A.09, subdivision 1, for that previous six-month period. If at any time during a
six-month period in those fiscal years the amount of reduction in the transfer to the highway user tax distribution
fund is insufficient to fund the appropriation under section 41A.09, subdivision 1, for that period, the commissioner
shall transfer to the general fund from the highway user tax distribution fund an additional amount sufficient to fund
the appropriation for that period, but the additional amount so transferred to the general fund in a six-month period
may not exceed the amount transferred to the highway user tax distribution fund for that six-month period as
follows:
(1) 73 percent to the general fund; and
(2) 27 percent to the highway user tax distribution fund.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This section is effective July 1, 2000."

"Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 168.013, subdivision 1a, is amended to read:
Subd. 1a. [PASSENGER AUTOMOBILE; HEARSE.] (a) On passenger automobiles as defined in section 168.011, subdivision 7, and hearses, except as otherwise provided, the tax shall be $10 plus an additional tax equal to 1.25 percent of the base value.
(b) Subject to the classification provisions herein, "base value" means the manufacturer's suggested retail price of the vehicle including destination charge using list price information published by the manufacturer or determined by the registrar if no suggested retail price exists, and shall not include the cost of each accessory or item of optional equipment separately added to the vehicle and the suggested retail price.
(c) If the manufacturer's list price information contains a single vehicle identification number followed by various descriptions and suggested retail prices, the registrar shall select from those listings only the lowest price for determining base value.
(d) If unable to determine the base value because the vehicle is specially constructed, or for any other reason, the registrar may establish such value upon the cost price to the purchaser or owner as evidenced by a certificate of cost but not including Minnesota sales or use tax or any local sales or other local tax.
(e) The registrar shall classify every vehicle in its proper base value class as follows:
FROM TO
$ 0 $199.99
200 399.99
and thereafter a series of classes successively set in brackets having a spread of $200 consisting of such number of classes as will permit classification of all vehicles.
(f) The base value for purposes of this section shall be the middle point between the extremes of its class.
(g) The registrar shall establish the base value, when new, of every passenger automobile and hearse registered prior to the effective date of Extra Session Laws 1971, chapter 31, using list price information published by the manufacturer or any nationally recognized firm or association compiling such data for the automotive industry. If unable to ascertain the base value of any registered vehicle in the foregoing manner, the registrar may use any other available source or method. The tax on all previously registered vehicles shall be computed upon the base value thus determined taking into account the depreciation provisions of paragraph (h).
(h) Except as provided in paragraph (i), the annual additional tax computed upon the base value as provided herein, during the first and second years of vehicle life shall be computed upon 100 percent of the base value; for the third and fourth years, 90 percent of such value; for the fifth and sixth years, 75 percent of such value; for the seventh year, 60 percent of such value; for the eighth year, 40 percent of such value; for the ninth year, 30 percent of such value; for the tenth year, ten percent of such value; for the 11th and each succeeding year, the sum of $25.
In no event shall the annual additional tax be less than $25 or greater than $155.
(i) The annual additional tax under paragraph (h) on a motor vehicle on which the first annual tax was paid before January 1, 1990, must not exceed the tax that was paid on that vehicle the year before.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This section is effective for registration due on or after July 1, 2000."
