Bill > HF3215

This bill amends an existing Minnesota statute that allows third-class cities to levy a tax specifically for providing free musical entertainment to the public. The key change is increasing the annual expenditure limit for such entertainment from $3,000 to $10,000. A third-class city typically refers to a municipality with a population between 1,000 and 10,000 residents. The bill maintains the original purpose of the law, which is to enable these smaller cities to fund public musical events using tax revenue, but provides them with more financial flexibility by significantly raising the spending cap. This could potentially allow cities to host more elaborate or frequent musical performances for their residents without needing to seek additional legislative approval.
