This bill aims to ensure that highway funding in Minnesota is exclusively allocated for highway-related purposes by prohibiting the inclusion of expenditures from the trunk highway fund or the highway user tax distribution fund for nonhighway purposes in the governor's biennial budget. It establishes a new section in the Minnesota Statutes, specifically section 161.0895, which mandates that state agency commissioners adhere to this requirement to comply with the Minnesota Constitution.

Additionally, the bill requires the commissioner of management and budget and the attorney general to jointly submit a report within 45 days of the governor's budget submission. This report must detail the proposed appropriations from the trunk highway fund and the highway user tax distribution fund, clarify their highway-related purposes, identify any nonhighway appropriations, and recommend alternative funding sources for those nonhighway purposes. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of highway funding and ensuring transparency in budgetary allocations.
