Sec. 2. [256.9831] [BENEFITS; GAMBLING ESTABLISHMENTS.]

Subdivision 1. [DEFINITION.] For purposes of this section, "gambling establishment" means a bingo hall licensed under section 349.164, a racetrack licensed under section 240.06 or 240.09, a casino operated under a tribal-state compact under section 3.9221, or any other establishment that receives at least 50 percent of its gross revenue from the conduct of gambling.

Subd. 3. [WARRANTS.] The commissioner shall take all actions necessary to ensure that warrants issued to pay benefits under sections 256.72 to 256.879 or chapter 256D bear a restrictive endorsement that prevents their being cashed in a gambling establishment.

Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 336.3-206, is amended to read:

336.3-206 [RESTRICTIVE ENDORSEMENT.]

(a) An endorsement limiting payment to a particular person or otherwise prohibiting further transfer or negotiation of the instrument is not effective to prevent further transfer or negotiation of the instrument.

(b) An endorsement stating a condition to the right of the endorsee to receive payment does not affect the right of the endorsee to enforce the instrument. A person paying the instrument or taking it for value or collection may disregard the condition, and the rights and liabilities of that person are not affected by whether the condition has been fulfilled.

(c) If an instrument bears an endorsement (i) described in section 336.4-201(b), or (ii) in blank or to a particular bank using the words "for deposit," "for collection," or other words indicating a purpose of having the instrument collected by a bank for the endorser or for a particular account, the following rules apply:

(1) A person, other than a bank, who purchases the instrument when so endorsed converts the instrument unless the amount paid for the instrument is received by the endorser or applied consistently with the endorsement.

(2) A depositary bank that purchases the instrument or takes it for collection when so endorsed converts the instrument unless the amount paid by the bank with respect to the instrument is received by the endorser or applied consistently with the endorsement.

(3) A payor bank that is also the depositary bank or that takes the instrument for immediate payment over the counter from a person other than a collecting bank converts the instrument unless the proceeds of the instrument are received by the endorser or applied consistently with the endorsement.

(4) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (3), a payor bank or intermediary bank may disregard the endorsement and is not liable if the proceeds of the instrument are not received by the endorser or applied consistently with the endorsement.

(d) Except for an endorsement covered by subsection (c), if an instrument bears an endorsement using words to the effect that payment is to be made to the endorsee as agent, trustee, or other fiduciary for the benefit of the endorser or another person, the following rules apply:

(1) Unless there is notice of breach of fiduciary duty as provided in section 336.3-307, a person who purchases the instrument from the endorsee or takes the instrument from the endorsee for collection or payment may pay the proceeds of payment or the value given for the instrument to the endorsee without regard to whether the endorsee violates a fiduciary duty to the endorser.


JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE - 75th Day - Top of Page 6671

(2) A subsequent transferee of the instrument or person who pays the instrument is neither given notice nor otherwise affected by the restriction in the endorsement unless the transferee or payor knows that the fiduciary dealt with the instrument or its proceeds in breach of fiduciary duty.

(e) The presence on an instrument of an endorsement to which this section applies does not prevent a purchaser of the instrument from becoming a holder in due course of the instrument unless the purchaser is a converter under subsection (c) or has notice or knowledge of breach of fiduciary duty as stated in subsection (d).

(f) In an action to enforce the obligation of a party to pay the instrument, the obligor has a defense if payment would violate an endorsement to which this section applies and the payment is not permitted by this section.

(g) Nothing in this section prohibits or limits the effectiveness of a restrictive endorsement made under section 256.9831, subdivision 3."

Subd. 4. [CURRENT VALUE OF EXISTING FACILITIES.] When the council assumes the ownership of any existing interceptors or treatment works as provided in subdivision 2 or 3, the local government unit or units which paid part or all of the cost of such facility, directly or pursuant to contracts for reimbursement of costs, shall be entitled to


JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE - 75th Day - Top of Page 6678

receive a credit against amounts to be allocated to them under section 473.517, which may be spread over such period not exceeding 30 years as the council shall determine, and an additional credit equal to interest on the unused credit balance from time to time at the rate of four percent per annum. The amount of such credit shall equal the current value of the facility computed by the council in the manner provided in this subdivision at the time the council acquires it. The original cost of a facility shall be computed as the total actual costs of constructing it, including engineering, legal, and administrative costs, less any part of it paid from federal or state funds and less the principal amount of any then outstanding bonds which were issued to finance its construction. The original cost shall be multiplied by a factor equal to a current cost index divided by the same cost index at the time of construction, to determine replacement cost. The cost indices used shall be the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Indices for facilities or parts thereof completed before 1930, and the United States Public Health Service Federal Water Pollution Control Values for Sewer and Treatment Plant Construction, as applied to facilities or parts thereof completed in or after 1930. The current value of the facility shall be the replacement cost depreciated by 2.50 percent per annum from the date of construction of treatment works and 1.25 percent per annum from the date of construction of interceptors; and decreased further by a reasonable allowance for obsolescence if the council determines that the facility or any part thereof will not be useful for council purposes for at least the remaining period required to depreciate it fully, assuming no salvage value. The current value of each such facility shall be credited to each local government unit in proportion to the amount of the construction cost paid by that unit, as determined by the council, taking into account reimbursements previously made under contracts between any of the local government units. The council shall prepare an itemized statement of the amount of credit each local government unit is entitled to receive under this subdivision, and the years and amounts of installments of principal and interest thereon, and shall cause it to be mailed or delivered to the governing body of each local government unit concerned. All credits allowed under this subdivision shall be used to finance current costs allocated to the local government unit by the council or for other sewer costs, and the credits shall not be considered as proceeds from the sale of municipal property so as to permit their use for other purposes. At its option, the council may make a periodic payment to each local government unit in the amount of the credits provided pursuant to this subdivision, in lieu of a credit against amounts to be allocated to such local government units under section 473.517.

Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 473.517, is amended to read:

473.517 [ALLOCATION OF CURRENT COSTS.]

Subdivision 1. [CURRENT COSTS DEFINED ALLOCATION METHOD.] The estimated costs of operation, maintenance, and debt service of the metropolitan disposal system to be paid by the council in each fiscal year, and the costs of acquisition and betterment of the system which are to be paid during the year from funds other than bond proceeds, including all expenses incurred by the council pursuant to sections 473.501 to 473.545, are referred to in this section as current costs, and shall be allocated in the budget for that year to the respective local government units in the metropolitan area as provided in subdivisions 2 to 6. The amount budgeted by the council for any year for a reserve or contingency fund must be treated as a current cost and allocated as a cost of operation and maintenance in accordance with this section. The reserve or contingency fund so established may not exceed an amount equal to 7.5 percent of the council's waste control operating budget in total shall be allocated among and paid by all local government units which will discharge sewage, directly or indirectly, into the metropolitan disposal system during the budget year according to an allocation method determined by the council. The allocated costs may include an amount for a reserve or contingency fund and an amount for cash flow management.

Subd. 2. [ALLOCATION OF METROPOLITAN TREATMENT WORKS AND INTERCEPTOR COSTS; ADJUSTED VOLUME.] Except as provided in subdivision 3, the current costs of all treatment works and interceptors in the metropolitan disposal system shall be allocated among and paid by all local government units which will discharge sewage, directly or indirectly, into the metropolitan disposal system during the budget year, in proportion to the total volume estimated to be so discharged by each local government unit, adjusted as follows:

(a) increased or decreased, as the case may be, to the extent the council determines, on the basis of such historical and reasonably projected data as may be available, that the sewage discharged by one unit will require more or less treatment to produce a suitable effluent than that discharged by others;

(b) decreased by any amount of surface water estimated by the council to be discharged by a local government unit from a combined storm and sanitary sewer system;

(c) increased by that volume of normal sanitary sewage which is equivalent for treatment purposes to the volume of surface water referred to in clause (b), as determined by the council from available engineering data; and


JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE - 75th Day - Top of Page 6679

(d) increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the amount of any substantial and demonstrable error in a previous estimate.

Subd. 3. [ALLOCATION OF METROPOLITAN TREATMENT WORKS AND INTERCEPTOR COSTS; RESERVED CAPACITY.] In preparing each budget the council shall estimate the current costs of acquisition, betterment, and debt service, only, of the treatment works in the metropolitan disposal system which will not be used to total capacity during the budget year, and the percentage of such capacity which will not be used, and shall deduct the same percentage of such treatment works costs from the current costs allocated under subdivision 2. The council shall also estimate the current costs of acquisition, betterment, and debt service, only, of the interceptors in the metropolitan disposal system that will not be used to total capacity during the budget year, shall estimate the percentage of the total capacity that will not be used, and shall deduct the same percentage of interceptor costs from the current costs allocated under subdivision 2. The total amount so deducted with respect to all treatment works and interceptors in the system shall be allocated among and paid by the respective local government units in the metropolitan area for which system capacity unused each year is reserved for future use, in proportion to the amounts of such capacity reserved for each of them.

Subd. 6. [DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS.] The council may by resolution provide for the deferment of payment of all or part of the current allocated costs of acquisition, betterment, and debt service of estimated unused capacity which are allocated by the council to a local government unit in any year pursuant to subdivision 3, 1 repayable at such time or times as the council shall specify in the resolution, with interest at the approximate average annual rate borne by council bonds outstanding at the time of the deferment, as determined by the council. Such costs may be deferred only when the council determines that a substantial portion of the territory of a local government unit has not been connected to the metropolitan disposal system, and that the amount of such costs or some portion thereof is disproportionate to the available economic resources of the unit at the time. Such deferred costs shall be allocated to and paid by all local government units in the metropolitan area which will discharge sewage, directly or indirectly, into the metropolitan disposal system in the budget year for which the deferment is granted, in the same manner and proportions as current costs are allocated under subdivision 2 1. When such deferred costs are repaid they shall be applied in reduction of the total amount of costs thereafter allocated to each of the local government units to which such deferred costs were allocated in the year of deferment, in proportion to their allocations thereof that year.

Subd. 9. [ADVISORY COMMITTEES.] The council may establish and appoint persons to advisory committees to assist the council in the performance of its wastewater control duties. If established, the advisory committees shall meet with the council to consult with such members concerning the acquisition, betterment, operation and maintenance of interceptors and treatment works in the metropolitan disposal system, and the allocation of costs therefor. Members of the advisory committee serve without compensation but must be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses as determined by the council.

Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 473.519, is amended to read:

473.519 [FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT AMENDMENTS OF 1972; SYSTEM OF CHARGES.]

Each local government unit shall adopt a system of charges for the use and availability of the metropolitan disposal system which will assure that each recipient of waste treatment services within or served by the unit will pay its proportionate share of the current costs allocated to the unit by the council under section 473.517, as required by the federal Water Pollution Control Act amendments of 1972, and any regulations issued pursuant thereto. Each system of charges shall be adopted as soon as possible and shall be submitted to the council. The council shall review each system of charges to determine whether it complies with the federal law and regulations. If it determines that a system of charges does not comply, the adopting unit shall be notified and shall change its system to comply, and shall submit the changes to the council for review. All subsequent changes in a system of charges proposed by a local government unit shall also be submitted to the council for review.

Sec. 4. [APPLICATION.]

This act applies in the counties of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington.

Sec. 5. [EFFECTIVE DATE.]

Section 1 is effective the day following final enactment. Sections 2 and 3 are effective January 1, 1997, for allocation of costs on and after that date."

applicant must describe the portion of the its available local transit funds which are not obligated to subsidize its replacement transit service and which the applicant proposes to use to subsidize additional service. An applicant which has exhausted its available local transit funds may use any other local subsidy funds to complete the required local share.

Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 473.388, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:

Subd. 7. [LOCAL LEVY OPTION.] (a) A statutory or home rule charter city or town that is eligible for assistance under this section, in lieu of receiving the assistance, may levy each year upon all taxable property within the municipality a transit tax consisting of an amount that must be used for payment of the operating and capital expenditures for transit and paratransit services and to provide for payment of obligations issued by the municipality for transit purposes.

(b) A maximum of 88 percent of the tax revenues may be levied by the town or statutory or home rule charter city providing replacement transit services under this subdivision with the remainder being levied by the council under section 473.446.

(c) The transit tax revenues derived by the municipality from the transit tax levied within the municipality may not exceed:

(1) for taxes levied in 1996, the maximum available local transit funds for the municipality in 1996 under section 473.446, (i) based on taxes levied in 1995, (ii) calculated as if the percentage of transit tax revenues for the municipality were 88 percent instead of 90 percent, and (iii) multiplied by the market value adjustment ratio as applied to the municipality only for taxes levied in 1996; and

(2) for taxes levied in 1997 and later years, the maximum transit taxes that the municipality may have levied in the last year under this subdivision, multiplied by the market value adjustment ratio for taxes levied in the current year.

The commissioner of revenue shall certify the municipality's levy limitation under this subdivision to the municipality by August 1 of the levy year. The tax must be extended, spread, and included as a part of the general taxes for state, county, and municipal purposes by the county auditor, to be collected and enforced with them, together with the penalty, interest, and costs. As the tax, including any penalties, interest, and costs, is collected by the county treasurer it must be accumulated and kept in a separate fund to be known as the "replacement transit fund."

(d) To enable the municipality to receive revenues described in clauses (2) and (3) of the definition of "tax revenues" in section 473.388, subdivision 4, that would otherwise be lost to it if the municipality's transit tax levy was not treated as a successor levy to that made by the council under section 473.446 and that was paid over to the municipality as financial assistance under 473.385, subdivision 4:

(1) for the council and the municipality's transit taxes levied in 1996, 88 percent of the council's nondebt spread levy levied in 1995 and described in clauses (2) and (3) of the definition of "tax revenues" in section 473.388, subdivision 4, shall be treated as levied by the municipality, and not the council, for purposes of section 473F.08, subdivision 3, as its local tax rate for the preceding levy year; and

(2) for the municipality's transit tax levied in 1996 and thereafter, treating the municipality's transit tax as levied by the council for nondebt purposes only under clause (1) of the definition of "tax revenues" in section 473.388, subdivision 4, there shall be paid to the municipality instead of the council 88 percent of the revenues described in clause (3) of the definition of "tax revenues" in section 473.388, subdivision 4.

(e) Any transit taxes levied under this subdivision are not subject to, or counted towards, any limit hereafter imposed by law on the levy of taxes upon taxable property within any municipality unless the law specifically includes the transit tax.

(f) This subdivision is consistent with the transit redesign plan. Eligible municipalities opting to levy the transit tax under this subdivision shall continue to meet the regional performance standards established by the council.

(g) Within the designated Americans with Disabilities Act area, metro mobility remains the obligation of the state.

Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 473.466, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:

Subd. 1b. [DEDUCTION OF LOCAL TRANSIT LEVY FOR ELIGIBLE MUNICIPALITIES.] (a) The maximum amount of taxes the council may levy for general purposes under subdivision 1, paragraph (a), upon taxable property within a municipality providing replacement transit service is:

(1) for taxes levied in 1996, an amount which equals the sum of (1) 12 percent of the tax revenues derived from the taxes levied upon the taxable property in 1995, and (2) the portion of any state feathering reimbursement under subdivision 1, attributable to taxes levied upon the taxable property in 1995 for nondebt purposes, multiplied by the market value adjustment ratio as applied to only the municipality for taxes levied in 1996; and

(2) for taxes levied in 1997 and later years, the amount of taxes that the council levied in the last year under this subdivision, multiplied by the market value adjustment ratio for taxes levied in the current year.

(b) For purposes of (1) extending on taxable property located within any municipality providing replacement transit service its share of the levy made by the council for general purposes under subdivision 1, clause (a), and (2) calculating the amount of the levy to be allocated to each county, the council and the county auditor shall, after 1995, deduct from the part of the levy that would otherwise be allocated to the municipality the amount by which that part exceeds the maximum amount of taxes the council may levy within the municipality under this subdivision. After making the deduction, the council and the county auditor shall reallocate to the taxable property located within the metropolitan transit taxing district, other than a municipality providing replacement transit service, the amount by which the council's tax levy within the municipality was reduced. The council shall notify the county auditor no later than October 1 of each year of the amount of the deduction for each municipality providing replacement transit service located in the county.

(c) For purposes of this subdivision:

(1) "municipality" means a municipality providing replacement transit service under section 473.388;

(2) "market value adjustment ratio" means the index for market valuation changes described in section 473.446, as applied to the municipalities; and

(3) "tax revenues" has the meaning given the term in section 473.388, subdivision 4."

Notwithstanding any provision of chapter 352 to the contrary, a terminated hospital employee shall be eligible to receive a retirement annuity under Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 352.115 without regard to the requirement for three years of allowable service.

Sec. 4. [352E.04] [AUGMENTATION INTEREST RATE FOR TERMINATED UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES.]

The deferred annuity of any terminated hospital employee shall be subject to augmentation in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 352.72, subdivision 2, except that the rates of interest for this purpose shall be 5.5 percent compounded annually until January 1 of the year in which such person attains age 55.
