Main Provisions

  • The new termination date for the Hermantown local sales and use tax will be the earlier of either December 31, 2046, or when sufficient funds have been collected to cover costs associated with their intended uses, such as improvements and bonding costs.

Significant Changes

  • The bill extends the sunset provision for the Hermantown local sales and use tax by ten years, moving it from December 31, 2036, to December 31, 2046.
