Bill > HF1060

This bill eliminates the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Sports Facilities (LCMSF), a legislative oversight body that was responsible for monitoring and reviewing the operations of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority. Specifically, the bill repeals Minnesota Statutes section 3.8842, which previously established the commission's purpose, membership, and duties. The LCMSF was composed of six senators and six representatives (equally split between majority and minority parties) who were tasked with providing financial oversight, reviewing the authority's budgets, and making recommendations about tax rates, debt, and overall operations of sports facilities and entertainment venues. By repealing this statute, the bill effectively disbands the commission, removing its statutory mandate for semiannual meetings, budget reviews, and reporting requirements. The bill suggests that the ongoing legislative oversight of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority is no longer deemed necessary, though it does not provide explicit reasoning for the commission's elimination.
