Bill > HF3441

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes by adding a new subdivision to section 473.4051, specifically addressing the funding of operating and capital maintenance costs for a portion of the light rail transit system known as the "Blue Line extension," which runs from Target Field Station in Minneapolis to Brooklyn Park. After any operating revenue and federal funds are applied to these costs for the Blue Line extension, the bill mandates that the remaining expenses must be covered by Hennepin County. The county is authorized to use either sales tax revenue, as defined in a specific statute, or the county transportation sales tax to meet these obligations. This provision will take effect the day after it is officially enacted and will apply to the counties of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington.
