HF529 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))
Payment of certain indirect costs from legacy funds prohibited.
Related bill: SF27
AI Generated Summary
This bill aims to regulate how funds from Minnesota's legacy funds can be spent by prohibiting their use for general indirect or overhead costs such as rent, utilities, and maintenance unless these costs have directly increased due to the projects or programs these funds support. The bill modifies existing laws to ensure that expenditures from legacy funds (like the outdoor heritage, clean water, parks and trails, and arts and cultural heritage funds) are restricted to direct and necessary increases in overhead costs attributed to specific projects or activities funded by these accounts. Recipients of these funds are required to document and justify any overhead costs they wish to cover using the legacy funds, ensuring these expenses directly result from administering funded projects.
