HF 3441 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Light rail transit operating and capital maintenance costs governed.

HF 3441 governs funding for the Blue Line light rail transit extension in Minneapolis to Brooklyn Park. It requires Hennepin County to cover remaining operating and capital maintenance costs after using operating income and federal funds, using only county sales tax revenue or the county transportation sales tax. The bill specifically applies to the Blue Line extension project and mandates Hennepin County to fund these costs from designated local tax sources. This policy change directly affects Hennepin County's budgeting for the Blue Line extension project. The law applies across seven counties including Hennepin, Anoka, Ramsey, and others.
