Related bill: HF1031

AI Generated Summary

The bill, SF No 378, introduced by Senators Kreun, Gustafson, Hoffman, and Abeler, is focused on supporting amateur sports in Minnesota. It proposes to dedicate a portion of the state's sales and use tax revenues to creating an amateur sports account within the special revenue fund. This account will be used specifically for maintenance costs at the National Sports Center in Blaine, Minnesota. These funds are determined and managed by the Minnesota Department of Administration based on annual facility assessments. If in any year, the allocated funds from the sales and use tax are not needed for maintenance, they will be transferred back to the general fund of Minnesota. This system of funding is set to begin on September 1, 2025, and will be evaluated annually thereafter. The goal of the legislation is to sustain the infrastructure required for amateur sports in the state, ensuring facilities like the National Sports Center are adequately maintained.
