"Sec. 2. [16A.663] BASEBALL STADIUM BONDS.
Subdivision 1.
Authority. When authorized by law enacted in
accordance with the Constitution, article XI, sections 5 and 7, the
commissioner may, by order, sell and issue baseball stadium special tax bonds
of the state evidencing public debt incurred for the purposes stated in the
law. The bonds are payable solely from
the proceeds of the taxes appropriated to special tax bond debt service account
established in subdivision 3 and other money on hand in that fund from time to
time; the bonds are not general obligations of the state, and the full faith
and credit of the state is not pledged for their payment.
Subd. 2. Manner of issuance; maturities. The bonds must be issued and sold in
accordance with the procedures under section 16A.641, except the bonds are not
general obligations. Sections 16A.672
and 16A.675 apply to the bonds, except the appropriations from the general fund
do not apply and are instead made out of the bond proceeds fund.
Subd. 3. Establishment of debt service fund;
appropriation of debt service fund money. A separate and special account designated
as a baseball stadium special tax bond debt service account is established
within the state bond fund. Revenues
under section 297A.94, paragraph (g), must be credited to the account,
including investment earnings on those amounts.
The money on hand in the debt service account must be used solely for
the payment of the principal of, and interest on, the bonds, and is
appropriated for this purpose. This
appropriation does not cancel as long as any of the bonds remain outstanding.
Subd. 4. Application and appropriation of
proceeds. (a) The proceeds of
the bonds must be deposited in the baseball stadium bond proceeds fund and
spent as provided in this subdivision and are appropriated for those
purposes. Any accrued interest and any
premium received on the sale of the bonds, and any amount of bond proceeds
determined by the commissioner to be needed to pay interest payable on the
bonds up to 18 months following their issuance, must be credited to the
baseball stadium special tax bond debt service account.
(b) Money in the fund is appropriated to the commissioner to
pay grants to the authority for ballpark costs and to Hennepin County to fund
public infrastructure costs associated with the development of the
ballpark. So much of the proceeds as is
necessary must be used to pay costs incurred in issuing and selling the bonds.
EFFECTIVE
DATE. This section is
effective the day following final enactment.
Sec. 3. Minnesota
Statutes 2004, section 297A.62, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

the gross receipts from retail sales as defined in section 297A.61, subdivision
4, made in this state or to a destination in this state by a person who is
required to have or voluntarily obtains a permit under section 297A.83, subdivision
1.
(b) A rate of 0.06 percent is added to the rate imposed under
paragraph (a). This rate expires when
the state determines that the revenues raised under this paragraph are

and related infrastructure within the limits authorized under section 14.
EFFECTIVE
DATE. This section is
effective beginning with sales and purchases made after June 30, 2006."

The amount deposited in the loan guaranty account must be reduced by any

(c) The commissioner shall deposit the revenues, including
interest and penalties, derived from the taxes imposed on sales and purchases
included in section 297A.61, subdivision 3, paragraph (g), clauses (1) and (4),

(5) two percent of the receipts must be deposited in the
natural resources fund, and may be spent only for the Minnesota Zoological
Garden, the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory, and the Duluth Zoo.
(f) The revenue dedicated under paragraph (e) may not be used
as a substitute for traditional sources of funding for the purposes specified,
but the dedicated revenue shall supplement traditional sources of funding for
those purposes. Land acquired with money
deposited in the game and fish fund under paragraph (e) must be open to public
hunting and fishing during the open season, except that in aquatic management
areas or on lands where angling easements have been acquired, fishing may be
prohibited during certain times of the year and hunting may be prohibited. At least 87 percent of the money deposited in
the game and fish fund for improvement, enhancement, or protection of fish and
wildlife resources under paragraph (e) must be allocated for field operations.

"Sec. 13. COUNTY ACTIVITIES; REIMBURSEMENT.
(a) The county, may acquire by purchase, eminent domain, or
gift, land, air rights, and other property interests within the development
area for the ballpark site and public infrastructure and convey it to the
authority with or without consideration, prepare a site for development as a
ballpark, and acquire and construct any related public infrastructure. The public infrastructure may include the
construction and operation of parking facilities within the development area
notwithstanding any law imposing limits on county parking facilities in the
city of Minneapolis. The county may
acquire and construct property, facilities and improvements outside the development
area for the purpose of drainage and environmental remediation for property
within the development area, walkways and a pedestrian bridge to link the
ballpark to third avenue distributor ramps, street and road improvements and
access easements for the purpose of providing access to the ballpark,
streetscapes, connections to transit facilities and bicycle trails, and any
utility modifications which are incidental to any utility modifications within
the development area. To the extent
property parcels or interests acquired are more extensive than the public
infrastructure requirements
the county may sell or otherwise dispose of the excess. The county may review and approve ballpark
designs, plans, and specifications to the extent provided in a grant agreement
and in order to ensure that the public purposes of the grant are carried
out. The county board may delegate
responsibility for implementing the terms of an approved grant agreement to the
county administrator or other designated officers. Public infrastructure designs must optimize area
transit and bicycle opportunities, including connections to existing trails, as
determined by the county board. The
county may enforce the provisions of any grant agreement by specific
performance. Except to require
compliance with the conditions of the grant or as may be mutually agreed to by
the county and the authority, the county has no interest in or claim to any
assets or revenues of the authority. The
county may acquire property by eminent domain for any of the purposes of this
act notwithstanding any other law, including laws subsequently enacted which do
not specifically refer to this act, and such purposes of this act are declared
to constitute the ownership and enjoyment of land and property by the general
public and public agencies within the meaning of chapter 117. The county may initiate or continue an
environmental impact statement as the responsible governmental unit under
Minnesota Statutes, section 116D.04, pay for any costs in connection with the
environmental impact statement or reimburse others for such costs, and conduct
other studies and tests necessary to evaluate the suitability of the ballpark
site. The county has all powers
necessary or convenient for those purposes and may enter into any contract for
those purposes. The county may make
expenditures or grants for other costs incidental and necessary to further the
purposes of this act and may by agreement, reimburse in whole or in part, any
entity that has granted, loaned, or advanced funds to the county to further the
purposes of this act. The county shall
reimburse a local governmental entity within its jurisdiction or make a grant
to such a governmental unit for site acquisition, preparation of the site for
ballpark development, and public infrastructure. Amounts expended by a local governmental unit
with the proceeds of a grant or in expectation of reimbursement by the county
are not deemed an expenditure or other use of local governmental resources by
the governmental unit within the meaning of any law or charter limitation. Exercise by the county of its powers under
