2023 aid penalty forgiveness provided to the city of Stewart, and money appropriated.

Related bill: SF1108

AI Generated Summary

This legislative bill proposes to forgive a penalty that had previously caused the withholding of local government aid to the city of Stewart, Minnesota, for the year 2023. The bill outlines that the city will receive the originally intended aid amount of $87,501.50, given that the city submits its financial report for 2022 by June 1, 2025. The state auditor must then verify the submission, prompting the commissioner of revenue to release the funds by June 30, 2025. This financial aid release is a one-time event, and the necessary funds will be taken from the state’s general fund in the fiscal year 2025.
