Hennepin County must remit 50 percent of transportation sales and use tax revenue collected within a city's boundaries to that city upon submission of a resolution adopted by the city board.

Payments to cities must be made at least annually and must be used to plan, engineer, and construct improvements to county highways and bridges within city limits.

Eligible cities must be home rule charter or statutory cities with a population of 60,000 or greater, located wholly or partially within Hennepin County, and without a current or planned light rail transit line.

Two or more eligible cities may enter into a joint powers agreement to jointly use received funds on projects within the member cities' boundaries.

This provision expires on July 1, 2038, or when the underlying transportation sales and use tax is terminated, whichever occurs earlier.
