(4) if the retail price label is not available, then using the actual sales price of the vehicle.

If the registrar is unable to ascertain the ~~base value~~ manufacturer's suggested retail price of any registered vehicle in the foregoing manner, the registrar may use any other available source or method.

(e) The registrar ~~shall~~ must calculate the registration tax using ~~base value~~ information available to dealers and deputy registrars at the time the initial application for registration is submitted. ~~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)~~ (f) The ~~annual additional tax~~ amount under paragraph (a), clauses (1) and (2), must be ~~computed upon~~ calculated based on a percentage of the ~~base value~~ manufacturer's suggested retail price, as follows: during the first year of vehicle life, upon 100 percent of the ~~base value~~ price; for the second year, 90 percent of ~~such value~~ the price; for the third year, 80 percent of ~~such value~~ the price; for the fourth year, 70 percent of ~~such value~~ the price; for the fifth year, 60 percent of ~~such value~~ the price; for the sixth year, 50 percent of ~~such value~~ the price; for the seventh year, 40 percent of ~~such value~~ the price; for the eighth year, 30 percent of ~~such value~~ the price; for the ninth year, 20 percent of ~~such value~~ the price; and for the tenth year, ten percent of ~~such value;~~ the price.

Subd. 2. Commissioner's duties. To administer the grant program, the commissioner shall:

(1) consult with relevant stakeholders to develop a request for proposals that at least requires grant applicants to identify the items or services, and estimated accompanying costs where possible, needed to expand access to inclusive child care settings for children with disabilities;

(2) develop procedures for data collection, qualitative and quantitative measurement of grant program outcomes, and reporting requirements for grant recipients;

(3) convene a working group of grant recipients, partner child care providers, and participating families to assess progress on grant activities, share best practices, and collect and review data on grant activities; and

(4) by November 1, 2023, provide a report to the chairs and ranking minority members of the legislative committees with jurisdiction over health and human services on the activities and outcomes of the grant program, with legislative recommendations for implementing inclusive child care settings statewide. The report shall be made available to the public.

Subd. 3. Grant activities. Grant recipients shall use grant funds for the cost of facility modifications, resources, or services necessary to expand access to inclusive child care settings for children with disabilities, including:

(1) onetime needs to equip a child care setting to serve children with disabilities, including but not limited to environmental modifications; accessibility modifications; sensory adaptation; training materials and staff time for training, including for substitutes; or equipment purchases, including durable medical equipment;

(2) ongoing medical or disability-related services for children with disabilities in inclusive child care settings, including but not limited to mental health supports; inclusion specialist services; home care nursing; behavioral supports; coaching or training for staff and substitutes; substitute teaching time; or additional child care staff, an enhanced rate, or another mechanism to increase staff-to-child ratio; and

(1) partner with at least two but no more than five child care providers, each of which must meet one of the following criteria:

Journal of the House - 74th Day - Thursday, March 12, 2020 - Top of Page 7033

(2) develop and follow a process to ensure that grant funding is used to support children with disabilities who, without the additional supports made available through the grant, would have difficulty accessing an inclusive child care setting;

(3) pursue funding for ongoing services needed for children with disabilities in inclusive child care settings, such as Medicaid or private health insurance coverage; additional grant funding; or other funding sources;

(4) explore and seek opportunities to use existing federal funds to provide ongoing support to family child care providers or child care centers serving children with disabilities. Grant recipients shall seek to minimize family financial obligations for child care for a child with disabilities beyond what child care would cost for a child without disabilities; and

(3) availability and use of funding sources other than through the grant program;

(4) processes for identifying families of children with disabilities who could benefit from grant activities and connecting them with a child care provider interested in serving them;

(5) processes and eligibility criteria used to determine whether a child is a child with a disability and means of prioritizing grant funding to serve children with significant support needs associated with their disability; and

(6) any other information deemed relevant by the commissioner.

EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective July 1, 2020.
