Bill > SF2944

This bill provides aid penalty forgiveness for the city of Alpha by allowing the city to receive its withheld 2023 local government aid payment under specific conditions. Currently, the city has had its aid payment withheld under Minnesota Statutes due to a failure to submit its annual financial reporting form on time. The bill stipulates that if the state auditor receives the 2022 annual financial reporting form from Alpha by June 1, 2025, the city will be eligible to receive its previously withheld aid payment of $18,472. Upon certification by the state auditor, the commissioner of revenue must pay the city by June 30, 2025. The bill appropriates the necessary funds from the general fund for fiscal year 2025, and the provision is a one-time measure that will become effective immediately after enactment. This legislation provides Alpha with an opportunity to receive its local government aid by meeting a specific future deadline for financial reporting.
