      Page 21, after line 9, insert:

 

"Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 2005 Supplement, section 469.322, is amended to read:

 

469.322 DESIGNATION OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ZONE. 

 

(a) An area designated as a foreign trade zone may be designated by the foreign trade zone authority as an international economic development zone if within the zone a regional distribution center is being developed pursuant to section 469.323.  The zone must consist of contiguous area of not less than 500 acres and not more than 1,000 acres.  The designation authority under this section is limited to one zone.

 

(b) In making the designation, the foreign trade zone authority, in consultation with the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Metropolitan Council, shall consider access to major transportation routes, consistency with current state transportation and air cargo planning, adequacy of the size of the site, access to airport facilities, present and future capacity at the designated airport, the capability to meet integrated present and future air cargo, security, and inspection services, and access to other infrastructure and financial incentives.  The border of the international economic development zone must be no more than 60 miles distant or 90 minutes drive time from the border of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

 

(c) Before final designation of the zone, the foreign trade zone authority, in consultation with the applicant, must conduct a transportation impact study based on the regional model and utilizing traffic forecasting and assignments.  The results must be used to evaluate the effects of the proposed use on the transportation system and identify any


Journal of the House - 107th Day - Tuesday, May 16, 2006 - Top of Page 7761

needed improvements.  If the site is in the metropolitan area, the study must also evaluate the effect of the transportation impacts on the metropolitan transportation system plan as well as the comprehensive plans of the municipalities that would be affected.  The authority shall provide copies of the study to the legislature under section 3.195 and to the chairs of the committees with jurisdiction over transportation and economic development.  The applicant must pay the cost of the study.

 

(c) (d) Final zone designation must be made by June 30, 2006 2008.

 

(d) (e) Duration of the zone is a 12-year period beginning on January 1, 2007 2010.

 

EFFECTIVE DATE.  This section is effective the day following final enactment.

 

Sec. 13.  Minnesota Statutes 2005 Supplement, section 469.323, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

 

Subd. 2.  Business plan.  Before designation of an international economic development zone under section 469.322, the governing body of the foreign trade zone authority shall prepare a business plan.  The authority shall file the business plan with the legislature under section 3.195 and provide copies to the chairs of committees with jurisdiction over transportation and economic development.  The plan must include an analysis of the economic feasibility of the regional distribution center once it becomes operational and of the operations of freight forwarders and other businesses that choose to locate within the boundaries of the zone.  The analysis must provide profitability models that:

 

(1) include the benefits of the incentives;

 

(2) estimate the amount of time needed to achieve profitability; and

 

(3) analyze the length of time incentives will be necessary to the economic viability of the regional distribution center.

 

If the governing body of the foreign trade authority determines that the models do not establish the economic feasibility of the project, the regional distribution center does not meet the development requirements of this section and section 469.322.

 

EFFECTIVE DATE.  This section is effective the day following final enactment."

Subd. 2.  Use of provisional license.  (a) A provisional license holder may operate a motor vehicle only when every occupant under the age of 18 15  has a seat belt or child passenger restraint system properly fastened.  A person who violates this paragraph is subject to a fine of $25.  A peace officer may not issue a citation for a violation of this paragraph unless the officer lawfully stopped or detained the driver of the motor vehicle for a moving violation as defined in section 171.04. A passenger who is at least 15 years of age is subject to the requirements and penalty of section 169.686.  The commissioner shall not record a violation of this paragraph on a person's driving record.

 

(b) A provisional license holder may not operate a vehicle while communicating over, or otherwise operating, a cellular or wireless telephone, whether handheld or hands free, when the vehicle is in motion.  The provisional license holder may assert as an affirmative defense that the violation was made for the sole purpose of obtaining emergency assistance to prevent a crime about to be committed, or in the reasonable belief that a person's life or safety was in danger.

 

(c) During the first year after receiving the license, a provisional license holder who is under the age of 18 may not operate a motor vehicle:

 

(1) with more than one passenger under age 21, except for immediate family members; or

 

(2) between the hours of midnight and 5:00 a.m. unless accompanied by the holder's parent or guardian.

 

(d) If the holder of a provisional license during the period of provisional licensing incurs (1) a conviction for a violation of section 169A.20, 169A.33, 169A.35, or sections 169A.50 to 169A.53, (2) a conviction for a crash-related moving violation as defined in section 171.04, or (3) more than one conviction for a moving violation that is not crash related, the person may not be issued a driver's license until 12 consecutive months have expired since the date of the conviction or until the person reaches the age of 18 years, whichever occurs first.  Violation of this paragraph is a petty misdemeanor subject to section 169.89, subdivision 2."
