MN SF670

Amends Minnesota Statutes section 297A.815, subdivision 3, to change the allocation of motor vehicle lease sales tax revenue to counties in the metropolitan area.

Removes Hennepin and Ramsey counties from the exclusion in the current law, allowing them to receive a proportional share of the 38 percent of revenue allocated to the county state-aid highway fund based on their population.

Requires the commissioner of transportation to allocate funds so each county receives a percentage matching its population relative to the total population of all receiving counties.

Includes a hold-harmless provision requiring the commissioner to allocate additional funds to any county receiving fewer funds than in the previous year, with costs appropriated annually from the general fund.

Maintains existing allocations of 38 percent to the greater Minnesota transit account, 13 percent to the Minnesota state transportation fund for the local bridge program, and 11 percent to the highway user tax distribution fund.
