Bill > HF2988

This bill extends the sales tax exemption for Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) tickets and admissions, and modifies related provisions regarding the transfer of sales tax savings. Specifically, the bill requires the MSHSL to annually determine its sales tax savings and transfer those funds to a nonprofit charitable foundation focused on promoting high school extracurricular activities. The foundation must use these funds primarily for scholarships to help offset athletic fees, with grants awarded equitably considering factors like gender balance, school size, and geographic location. The bill extends the sales tax exemption and related provisions until July 1, 2037, effectively removing the previous sunset date of July 1, 2027. The changes will be effective the day after the bill's final enactment, ensuring continued support for high school extracurricular activities and providing financial relief for student participation in sports and other school-sponsored events.
