Definitions modified for purposes of regional sales taxes.

HF 2629 amends Minnesota's tax code to clarify definitions for regional sales taxes. It updates terms like "metropolitan area" (specifically naming Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington counties) and "metropolitan sales tax" in statutes 297A.9915 and 297A.9925. The bill specifies that the Metropolitan Council must impose a 0.25% sales tax on retail sales within these seven counties, effective after June 30, 2025. This change directly affects businesses and consumers in those counties by clarifying the tax's scope and administration. The bill focuses solely on defining existing tax terms, not altering tax rates or policies.
