Bill > HF3098

This bill creates a new State Agricultural Society public safety account within the agricultural fund, which will be funded by a 30-cent surcharge on each admission ticket to the State Fair. The purpose of the account is to provide financial support to the cities of Falcon Heights and St. Paul (where the State Fair is located) for specific public service needs. These needs include funding for public safety services like police, fire, and emergency medical responses, as well as public works expenses such as traffic management and sanitation, and neighborhood cleanup and restoration efforts. The board of managers of the State Agricultural Society will be responsible for collecting the additional 30-cent fee on every admission ticket, and all funds collected will be deposited into the state treasury and specifically credited to this new public safety account. This legislation aims to help offset the municipal costs associated with hosting the State Fair by creating a dedicated funding mechanism through a modest ticket surcharge.
