State Agricultural Society required to reimburse the cities of St. Paul and Falcon Heights for certain expenses.

HF 3099 requires the State Agricultural Society to reimburse the cities of St. Paul and Falcon Heights for specific costs incurred due to events held on fairgrounds. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to mandate reimbursement for expenses including public safety, police, fire, emergency medical services, traffic management, sanitation, and neighborhood cleanup after events. This directly affects the State Agricultural Society (which operates the fairgrounds) and the two cities, shifting the cost responsibility from the cities to the society. The key provision clarifies that the society must cover these operational costs as part of its obligations under the statute. The bill does not alter the society's primary use of funds for fairs and fairgrounds improvements.
