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 to the County Board.

Cities must use tax proceeds to plan, engineer, and construct improvements to county highways and bridges within their boundaries.

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

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

Payments to cities must be made at least annually, and this provision expires on July 1, 2038, or when the underlying transportation sales and use tax is terminated, whichever occurs first.
