This bill amends Minnesota Statutes related to the apportionment of the county state-aid highway fund, specifically addressing the procedures and requirements for counties in providing necessary information for fund allocation. In Section 1, the language is updated to clarify that if a county fails to provide the required information, the commissioner must use the apportionment formula and may withhold payment until the information is submitted. This change emphasizes the responsibility of counties to comply with information requirements.

In Section 2, the bill modifies the allocation process for cities with populations under 5,000. It introduces a new structure for determining the funds apportioned to each county, specifying that the allocation must be used solely for county state-aid highways within these smaller cities. The amendments aim to ensure that the funding is appropriately directed and that the calculation of needs for the county state-aid highway system is clearly defined.
