Bill > SF765

This bill modifies definitions related to regional sales taxes in Minnesota, primarily updating how the "metropolitan area" is defined. Specifically, the bill changes references from listing specific counties (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington) to using the definition found in section 473.121, subdivision 2 of Minnesota statutes. The bill also makes technical changes to terminology, replacing "metropolitan counties" with "metropolitan area" in several sections of tax law. The regional transportation sales tax and metropolitan sales tax will continue to be imposed at a 0.25 percent rate, but with the updated area definition. These changes will take effect for sales and purchases made after June 30, 2025, providing clarity and consistency in how the metropolitan area is defined for tax purposes. The modifications are primarily technical in nature and do not substantially change the underlying tax structure or rates.
