MN HF2466

Amends Minnesota Statutes section 295.52, subdivision 8, governing contingent reductions in health care provider tax rates

Removes the "beginning in 2011" language, making the December 1 annual determination of the health care access fund balance an ongoing requirement without reference to the start date

Changes "shall" to "must" throughout the statute, updating language to current drafting standards without changing the substantive requirements

Maintains the existing trigger mechanism: provider tax rates must be reduced when the health care access fund's projected revenue-to-expenditure ratio exceeds 125 percent and the cash balance is adequate

Rate reductions continue to expire at the end of each calendar year and require annual redetermination by the commissioner of management and budget
