Bill > SF1444

This bill seeks to eliminate the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Sports Facilities by repealing Minnesota Statutes section 3.8842, which currently establishes a legislative oversight commission for the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority. The existing law created a commission composed of six senators (three from each party) and six representatives (three from each party) who were responsible for providing financial oversight of the sports facilities authority, monitoring its budgets, and making recommendations about its operations. The commission was tasked with reviewing potential tax increases, debt changes, budget proposals, and overall performance of the authority, and was required to meet at least twice a year and provide a biennial report on its effectiveness. By repealing this statute, the bill would effectively disband this legislative commission, removing the current formal legislative review mechanism for the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority.
