This bill amends Minnesota Statutes related to the apportionment of county state-aid highway funds, specifically addressing the requirements for counties to provide necessary information for funding 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 to receive their allocated funds.

In Section 2, the bill modifies the allocation process for cities with populations under 5,000. It specifies that the funds apportioned to each county must be used solely for county state-aid highways located within these smaller cities, based on the most recent federal census data. The amendments also clarify the calculation of the funding amount, ensuring that it reflects the total needs of the county state-aid highway system. Overall, the bill aims to enhance clarity and enforce compliance in the distribution of transportation funds at the county level.
