S.F. No. 1264 - Modifying Formula for Municipal State Aid to Cities
 
Author: Senator David H. Senjem
 
Prepared By: Krista Boyd, Senate Fiscal Analyst (651/296-7681)
 
Date: February 8, 2012


 

Section 1 modifies the eligibility standard for a city to receive state highway aid.  The Minnesota Constitution provides, in Article XIV, Section 8, that the municipal state-aid street fund is to be apportioned by law among municipalities with a population of 5,000 or more.  This bill provides that a city that had a population of 5,000 or more previous to the 2010 census, but fell below 5,000 in that census, is deemed to have a population of 5,000, and thus is eligible for state aid.  The section is effective July 1, 2011
