Permissible uses of certain highway funds specification
This bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 161.045 to clarify prohibited uses of highway user tax distribution funds and trunk highway funds. It specifically prohibits spending these funds on 17 items, including tourist kiosks (Explore Minnesota), driver education programs, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension labs, parades/events, electric vehicle infrastructure, and certain state agency offices like the Office of Transit and Active Transportation. The restriction applies to all expenses - payroll, supplies, equipment - for these named programs. State agencies managing highway funds must now comply with these spending limitations when allocating resources.
