Bill > SF1108

This bill provides a one-time aid penalty forgiveness for the city of Stewart, Minnesota, allowing the city to receive a previously withheld state aid payment of $87,501.50 for calendar year 2023. Under current law (Minnesota Statutes, section 477A.017, subdivision 3), the city had been denied its aid payment, likely due to late financial reporting. The bill stipulates that if the state auditor receives the city's 2022 annual financial reporting form by June 1, 2025, the commissioner of revenue must pay the $87,501.50 to the city by June 30, 2025. The funding for this payment will come from a one-time appropriation from the general fund in fiscal year 2025. The provision is designed to give the city a chance to receive its aid payment after resolving its reporting issues, and will take effect immediately upon final enactment.
