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 162.07, subdivision 6, the language has been 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 funding.

Additionally, section 162.08, subdivision 1, has been revised to specify the allocation of funds for cities with populations under 5,000. The bill introduces new language that outlines the criteria for determining the amount of money apportioned to each county, ensuring that funds are designated for expenditure on county state-aid highways located within these smaller cities. The amendments aim to enhance clarity and ensure that the allocation process is more straightforward and equitable for all counties involved.
