    16A.662 INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT BONDS.
    Subdivision 1. Infrastructure development fund. The infrastructure development fund is
created as an account in the state treasury. The commissioner of management and budget shall
credit to the fund income from the sources provided by law. The commissioner of management and
budget shall from time to time certify to the State Board of Investment the assets of the fund not
currently needed. The amount certified must be invested by the State Board of Investment subject
to section 11A.24. Investment income and investment losses attributable to investment of fund
assets must be credited to or borne by the fund.
    Subd. 2. Bonds authorized. When authorized by law enacted in accordance with the constitution,
article XI, sections 5 and 7, the commissioner may by order sell and issue bonds of the state
evidencing public debt incurred for any purpose stated in the law. The bonds are general obligations
of the state, and the full faith and credit of the state are pledged for their payment.
   Subd. 3. Manner of issuance; maturities. The bonds must be issued and sold in accordance
with section 16A.641. Sections 16A.672 and 16A.675 apply to the bonds.
    Subd. 4. Debt service account; appropriation of debt service account money. There is
established within the state bond fund a separate and special account designated as the infrastructure
development bond debt service account. The money on hand in the debt service account must be
used solely for the payment of the principal of and interest on bonds issued under Laws 1990,
chapter 610, article 1, section 30, subdivision 2, and is appropriated for this purpose. This
appropriation does not cancel as long as any of the bonds remain outstanding.
    Subd. 5. Assessment to higher education systems. (a) In order to reduce the amount otherwise
required to be transferred to the state bond fund with respect to bonds heretofore or hereafter issued
under Laws 1990, chapter 610, article 1, section 30, subdivision 2, the commissioner of management
and budget shall assess each higher education system for one-third the amount that would otherwise
need to be transferred with respect to those bonds sold to finance capital improvement projects at
institutions under the control of the system; provided that, to the extent that the amount to be
transferred is for payment of principal and interest on bonds sold to finance life safety improvements,
the commissioner must not assess the higher education systems for the transfer.
    (b) After each sale of the bonds, the commissioner of management and budget shall notify the
Board of Trustees of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and the regents of the University
of Minnesota of the amounts for which each system is responsible for each year for the life of the
bonds. The amounts payable each year are reduced by one-third of the net income from investment
of those bond proceeds that must be allocated among the systems in proportion to the amount of
principal and interest otherwise required to be paid by each. Each higher education system shall
pay its annual share of debt service payments to the commissioner of management and budget by
December 1 each year. If a higher education system fails to make a payment when due, the
commissioner of management and budget shall reduce allotments for appropriations from the general
fund otherwise payable to the system to cover the amount of the missed debt service payment. The
commissioner of management and budget shall credit the payments received from the higher
education systems to the infrastructure development bond debt service account in the state bond
fund each December 1 before the transfer is made under subdivision 4.
    Subd. 6. Appropriation from general fund. There is annually appropriated from the general
fund for transfer to the infrastructure development bond debt service account the amount that, added
to the amount in the infrastructure development bond debt service account on December 1 each
year, after giving effect to subdivisions 4 and 5, is equal to the full amount of principal and interest
to come due on all bonds to and including July 1 in the second ensuing year.
    Subd. 7. Constitutional tax levy. Under the constitution, article XI, section 7, the state auditor
must levy each year on all taxable property within the state a tax sufficient, with the amount then
on hand in the infrastructure development bond debt service account, to pay all principal and interest
on the bonds due and to become due to and including July 1 in the second ensuing year. The tax is
not subject to limit as to rate or amount. However, the amount of money appropriated from other
sources as provided in subdivisions 4, 5, and 6, and actually received and on hand before the levy
in any year, reduces the amount of the tax otherwise required to be levied. The proceeds of the tax
must be credited to the infrastructure development bond debt service account.
    Subd. 8. Application and appropriation of proceeds. The proceeds of the bonds must be
deposited and spent as provided in this subdivision and are appropriated for those purposes. Any
accrued interest and any premium received on the sale of the bonds must be credited to the
infrastructure development bond debt service account. Except as otherwise required by law, the
  1R

balance of the bond proceeds shall be credited to the infrastructure development fund and spent for
the purposes specified in the law authorizing the issuance of the bonds. So much of the proceeds
as is necessary must be used to pay costs incurred in issuing and selling the bonds.
116J.417 GREATER MINNESOTA CHILD CARE FACILITY CAPITAL GRANT
PROGRAM.
    Subd. 9. Cancellation of grant; return of money. If the commissioner determines that a grantee
is unable to proceed with an approved project or has not expended or obligated the grant money
within five years of entering into the grant agreement with the commissioner, the commissioner
shall cancel the grant and the money is available for the commissioner to make other grants under
this section. Money made available to the commissioner from a canceled grant is subject to
cancellation under section 16A.642 as if it had been appropriated to the program in the year in
which the grant is canceled.
