AMENDMENT PROPOSED.
An amendment to the Minnesota
Constitution is proposed to the people. If
the amendment is adopted, a section shall be added to article X, to read:
Sec. 9. The Minnesota tax relief fund is
established in the state treasury. The
purpose of the fund is to set aside surplus tax revenue that must be returned
to the taxpayers of this state each biennium, as required by this section.
If, on the basis of a November forecast
of general fund revenues and expenditures, which shall be provided by law,
there will be a positive unrestricted general fund balance at the close of the
biennium, the commissioner shall transfer from the general fund to the tax
relief fund the amount of the tax relief fund surplus, which shall be the
amount, if any, by which projected revenues exceed projected expenditures by 105
percent. Projected expenditures shall
not include any amount required by law to be set aside in a budget reserve
account, but nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the
legislature from allocating projected revenues that do not exceed 105 percent
of projected expenditures to a budget reserve.
Money in the tax relief fund may only be
used to return the tax relief fund surplus to the property and income taxpayers
of this state through onetime refunds, which shall not be taxable under the
laws of this state, or to offset the cost to the state general fund for onetime
tax reductions. No refunds or offsets
for tax reductions shall be made for any amount that exceeds a property or
income taxpayer's liability for tax.
