Bill > HF2801

This bill provides a specific aid penalty forgiveness for the city of Alpha in Minnesota for the 2023 calendar year. Currently, if a city fails to submit its annual financial reporting form on time, the state can withhold local government aid payments. This bill allows Alpha to receive its withheld aid payment of $18,472 if the state auditor receives the city's 2022 annual financial reporting form by June 1, 2025. The bill appropriates the necessary funds from the general fund in fiscal year 2025, and the commissioner of revenue is required to make the payment to Alpha by June 30, 2025. This is a one-time appropriation designed to provide financial relief to the city, with the provision becoming effective immediately after it is enacted. The bill essentially gives Alpha an extended deadline to submit its financial reporting and ensures it will not permanently lose its local government aid due to a missed deadline.
